Senior Frontend Engineer
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.
About the role.
We are looking for an ambitious Senior Frontend Engineer. 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 web-based customer journeys. You will plan, architect, build, and own our main external-facing web app using React.js, JavaScript, CSS, Relay and GraphQL. You will partner with design to bring our customer touch-points to life and will be responsible for the technical execution of web projects through hands-on development and prototyping. In other words, you will bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation to create a user-friendly product.
What you’ll do.
- Develop new user-facing features.
- Build reusable code and libraries for future use.
- Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.
What you’ll bring.
- B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of experience working as a Frontend or Fullstack Engineer.
- Experience with React.js and modern JavaScript libraries and tooling.
- Deep understanding of the “behind-the-scenes” of HTML rendering, CSS, and Javascript.
- Deep understanding of core modern web concepts such as Single Page Apps and server side vs. client side rendering.
- Familiarity with server-side technologies, preferably Node.js.
- Demonstrated design and UX sensibilities.
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.)
