Job Description
Globally, 80% of workers don’t have a desk or an office. These workers are the
backbone of the global economy, the people we interact with every day in
stores, on buses, in our hospitals, delivering our parcels and maintaining our
buildings. The current generation of workplace technology doesn’t fit their
needs, Blink enables those people to be productive, informed and engaged while
on the move.
We've built a fresh approach to an old problem. Our goal is to be the #1
choice for mobile enterprise, to build the workplace ‘super-app’ that brings
together in one place the people and information that matter.
Our award-winning product has industry-leading levels of engagement, with a
DAU of 99% – and we've got so much more to achieve. Scalability, automation
and precision are at the heart of what we do. We're never shackled down by
convention; always open-minded, always moving forward.
With over 100,000 users, and growing daily, and our first ever CTO in place,
this is an unparalleled opportunity to be an integral part of a Product and
Engineering team building one of the world's most exciting technologies.
