Senior Software Engineer (Backend - Hybrid)

About LivTech

LivTech is building the intelligence platform that provides the full picture of long-term care. We're uniquely positioned to connect data and insights across our product suite - transforming how care is coordinated, delivered, and experienced for seniors. Over the next few years, we're working toward a unified platform that gives caregivers, operators, and families the complete visibility they need to deliver exceptional care.

With 7,000+ customers, 15+ products, and $100M+ in revenue, we're a company with startup energy and real scale. Backed by private equity, we move fast, think big, and ship software that makes a genuine difference in people's lives.

We believe in humility, honest communication, extreme ownership, and quality craftsmanship. We work hard, have fun, and hold ourselves to high standards.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Eldermark team and help shape the future of our core product. You'll work closely with our Technical Architect to increase velocity, build features on the 2026 Eldermark roadmap, and lead a strategic initiative to consolidate our microservices architecture - simplifying infrastructure while maintaining the reliability our customers depend on.

This is primarily an individual contributor role, but we expect leadership by example: mentoring teammates, championing best practices, and elevating the quality of everything you touch. For the right person, there are clear paths to technical leadership and/or team leadership as the organization grows.

How We Work: AI-Augmented Development

We expect engineers to leverage AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and similar assistants as part of their daily workflow. Think of it as pair-programming with a capable but junior developer - AI helps generate code quickly, but your senior judgment drives quality. You'll review AI-generated code in real-time, guide it toward the right patterns, and ensure what ships meets our standards. If you're already working this way, you'll fit right in.
