Hi, we’re Lively. Are you?

We’re revolutionizing hearing care. We’re on a mission to empower tens of millions of people to hear better through convenient, personalized hearing care — at a fraction of the cost thanks to telemedicine. We’re led by a crew of enormously talented thinkers, creators, and doers who are as collaborative as they are compassionate (and passionate). It’s an exciting time to be here. 

So, why Lively?

In three years, we went from a scrappy startup to a leader in the direct-to-consumer hearing care space with the backing of our parent company GN, a global pioneer in intelligent audio solutions, to prove it. We’re a data-thirsty, outcomes-driven group that cares as deeply about our employees as we do our customers. If you’re looking for a place that will challenge you intellectually and creatively, a place that will cultivate your career and support your growth, come join our growing team.

As an early employee, you’ll have the chance to define and work on the foundational elements of the company and work closely with the founding team. The ideal candidate is passionate about creating a seamless customer experience and is able to drive and execute end-to-end customer journeys.  You will plan, architect, build and own our backend systems and microservices using Node.js, GraphQL, Express.JS, Postgres, and AWS and integrate those to our frontend using React.JS, React Native, Next.JS and Relay. This position reports to the Director of Software Engineering.

What you’ll do.

  • Architect, develop, own, and maintain core features and services that involves backend technologies in an AWS environment
  • Work closely with the engineers and product management to define and refine product features and specifications
  • Analyze and improve efficiency, scalability, stability, reliability, security and performance of Lively’ core backend systems and microservices 
  • Build reusable code and libraries for future use 

What you’ll work on.

  • Exciting initiatives like subscriptions and mobile notifications!
  • New customer-facing functionality like appointment scheduling, availability, and state licensing
  • Lots of debugging, profiling, efficiency and performance optimization - hooray! 
  • And last but never the least: continuous refactoring and architecture reviews 

What you’ll bring.

  • B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • 6+ years of experience working as a Back-End or Full-Stack Engineer
  • Proven track record of shipping software to production environments
  • Vast experience in  working with relational and non-relational databases and SQL
  • Vast experience in developing backend systems and microservices with Node.js, Express.Js and GraphQL 
  • Vast experience in AWS cloud architecture
  • Experience with designing, building and debugging APIs and distributed backend systems
  • Bonus points for experience with TypeScript

Why we love it here.

Changing lives and revolutionizing hearing care sounds like serious business. And it is. But we know how to have fun along the way. Case in point: our energizing weekly all-hands meetings where you’ll smile so much your smile muscles might get sore.

It helps that we have such a diverse crew — so you’ll fit right in. The Lively family includes actors, sommeliers, top-chefs, a former professional rollerblader (yep, that’s a thing), dancers, black belts, filmmakers and countless four-legged furry sidekicks. 

Even our benefits are Lively.

  • You’re worth it. Our compensation is competitive, and our 401k plan includes a 4% match.
  • Take care of yourself and your loved ones. We offer excellent medical, vision, and dental insurance and contribute generously to it. Adding a new member to your family? We also provide 12-weeks paid parental leave.
  • Fill that well! Whether you check out America’s natural treasures or just veg out on your couch, enjoy your paid time off. We encourage time off. 
  • Nomnom on us. Lively offers a weekly lunch stipend. (Pro tip: Groceries count.)
