Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, Web
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 affordable, convenient, hearing care — at a fraction of the cost thanks to telemedicine. We’re led by a crew of enormously skilled thinkers, creators, and doers. And we’re as collaborative and compassionate as we are ambitious. Built In NYC just named us one of the “best small companies to work for”. Come help us lose the “small”!

And we’re young enough, and small enough, where you could make a big, tangible difference — a real impact. Where are we from? We come to hearing care by way of Amazon, Facebook, 1stdibs, among other start-ups. And we’re surrounded by a world-class advisory board and audiology team.
