Senior Software Engineer II

Blink Health • Pittsburgh, PA

About The Position

This level (L6) is for an engineer who sets technical direction across teams and products and stays hands-on doing it: someone who does their best work near the decisions that matter and cares more about business results than shipping for its own sake.
You'll take messy, high-stakes problems and own the architecture decisions that solve them, often spotting what's worth solving before anyone hands it to you. You'll take the riskiest parts yourself, set the quality bar in your own code and in what the team treats as good enough, and spend real time developing the engineers around you, especially the senior ones ready to take on more. This isn't a role where you stop writing code and start drawing diagrams.
Our tooling is practical: AWS, Python, JavaScript, MySQL/Postgres, and Claude/Cursor. We like simple solutions, we move quickly, and we keep the patient in mind.

Requirements

• 8+ years writing software, with your scope and impact growing over that time
• Hands-on experience building with AI coding tools, and a track record of helping your team adopt and get real value from them.
• A history of being the technical lead for a system or product area several teams depend on, owning it from a vague starting point through launch and scale
• Experience working directly with founders or executives, and the genuine desire to work that closely with senior leaders
• A focus on outcomes: you want to know your work moved the business and helped patients, not just that the code was elegant
• Deep skills in a modern language such as Python, JavaScript, or Go
• A strong background in distributed systems, API design, and performance work
• A record of raising the technical bar for every team you've worked on, and mentoring senior engineers into their next level
• Clear communication and the credibility to be a real partner to business and product leaders
• A CS degree or equivalent experience

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve the backend and frontend architecture behind our systems
• Take ambiguous, high-risk problems off the table and get them to a clear answer
• Run design and code reviews
• Own major features from first design through testing, documentation, monitoring, and launch
• Work directly with founders and executives to shape strategy and then build against it
• Coach engineers and help shape how the team works
• Bring in new tools and techniques, prototype fast, and let data settle debates
• Explain technical trade-offs clearly to anyone in the room, engineer or not

Benefits

• We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity of all kinds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
