Sr. Full Stack Engineer - Vocalytics

WHAT WE DO 

At Vocalytics, we make understanding noisy spaces simple, robust, and actionable. Vocalytics partners with hospitals, commercial real estate, smart cities, and governments to provide the most actionable acoustic intelligence for any space.

Backed by top VC's & Angels, we're growing fast, building the most powerful sound intelligence platform for the physical world.

Sound is everywhere - indoors, outdoors, underwater, and in the sky.

The past couple of years have proven noise in hospital rooms is especially painful.

It leads to poor experience, life-threatening outcomes, and costs hospitals more than $40B every year.

That's a lot of lives at stake and a very expensive problem to solve.

Vocalytics was founded to unlock value in today's noisy world from any connected microphone. Never has this mission been more important in a world that is more socially distanced and health-conscious.

Privacy is a fundamental human right, and trust is a core pillar of everything we build.

We are seeking a sr. full-stack engineer to help build the next version of our platform. This is a hands-on role we would like to see grow into leadership as we're moving quickly to serve a very challenged population in healthcare.
