Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/8/2026

What is Blinq?

At Blinq, we believe the first interaction can spark opportunities that last a lifetime. That’s why we built the world’s #1 digital business card - an instant, intuitive way to exchange details - and that success has won our wedge into something bigger. Next, we’re building on that momentum to reshape how professionals stay connected – not just in the moment, but long after. In a world where follow-ups slip through the cracks and relationships are increasingly fragmented, we’re building the tools to keep people genuinely connected. If you’re driven to shape the future of human connection, we’d love to have you with us.

 

Why You’ll Love It Here

Customers love it: Over 100K reviews and a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store - people around the world rely on Blinq to make that first interaction count.

Rapid growth: Doubling ARR every few months, expanding into new markets, and rapidly building our team across Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco, and New York

Well-resourced: Backed by top VCs like Blackbird, HubSpot Ventures and Square Peg, we’re continuously investing in the people and tools that fuel our mission.

A rare moment to join: We’re hitting an inflection point - big enough to have momentum, small enough for you to shape the journey.

The way we work: We value real connections, inside and out - our offices buzz with creativity, and fresh ideas can come from anywhere. We’re big believers in the spark that happens when people come together in person. That’s why we spend three days a week collaborating in the office - trading ideas, solving problems face-to-face, and celebrating small wins. The rest of the week is yours to work wherever you’re most productive. We are willing to be flexible on this and offer remote roles for the right candidate.

 

Growth at Blinq

Our Growth team is where sales, marketing, and growth strategy collide to supercharge Blinq’s reach. We bring our story to life for customers, partners, and the broader market - showing them how a single “card share” can launch a lasting relationship. If you’re passionate about connecting big ideas to the people who need them most, this is your place to shine.

Every event is your stage to make sure Blinq is remembered and followed up on.
