About BlinkRx

BlinkRx is rebuilding how Americans access life-changing medicines. Today, only one in five prescriptions for new branded therapies are ever filled. The problem isn't the medicine. It's insurance barriers, affordability challenges, fragmented pharmacy experiences, and inadequate support that keep patients from starting and staying on treatment. Our mission is to change that.

We built RxOS, the first AI-powered prescription operating system. RxOS connects the largest network of doctors, patients, pharmacies, payers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, intelligently orchestrating every step to guarantee a seamless prescription journey for every script.

Our teams solve complex, high-stakes problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare operations, logistics, payments, and regulation. The impact is transformative: BlinkRx more than doubles the rate at which patients take their medications and lowers their out-of-pocket expenses by hundreds of dollars every month.

Why Join Us

It is rare to have a company that both deeply impacts its customers and is able to provide its services across a massive population. At Blink, we have a huge impact on people when they are most vulnerable: at the intersection of their healthcare and finances. We are also the fastest growing healthcare company in the country and are driving that impact across millions of new patients every year. Our business model not only helps people, but drives economics that allow us to build a generational company.

We are a relentlessly learning, constantly curious, and aggressively collaborative cross-functional team dedicated to inventing new ways to improve the lives of our customers.
