At Lively Apps, we build tools that help teams work smarter inside Atlassian’s Confluence. Whether it’s startups planning their next launch or enterprises like NASA, Apple, and Salesforce managing internal knowledge, our apps support millions of people in their daily work.

But behind every feature is a small, focused team. So what’s it actually like to work here?

Building Tools That Matter

Confluence is great — but sometimes teams need a little more. That’s where our apps come in.

We create apps that extend Confluence with real, tangible benefits. Here’s what that means in practice:

• PocketQuery: Bring live data from external databases or APIs right into Confluence pages.
• Lively Blogs: Highlight and surface internal news so important updates don’t get lost.
• Usage Statistics: Visualize how Confluence is being used to improve transparency and engagement
• Task Reminder: Automatically send scheduled Slack or email reminders for open Confluence tasks — so nothing gets missed and your team stays on track.

They solve real-world problems:

• Making data more visible and usable across teams
• Strengthening internal communication in large organizations
• Helping people focus on what matters most

And companies like Keller Pressure use PocketQuery to integrate real-time sensor data directly into their internal documentation — giving engineers the insights they need without leaving Confluence.

How We Work

We’re a small team of 7, and we love our company’s dynamic. That means:

• Everyone has a voice — in product decisions, UX discussions, or even feature names.
• You’ll own features end-to-end — from concept to release.
• We use modern tools like React, TypeScript, and Forge.
• We keep things light and async when possible — no meeting overload.
• We actually use our own tools daily — so we see what’s working and what’s not.

We're not trying to grow fast. We're growing thoughtfully — bringing in a few great people who share our mindset.

Who We’re Building For

Our tools are used by 3.3+ million Atlassian users worldwide - across a wide range of industries, including:

Our Culture

We don’t believe in hustle culture. We believe in doing great work—and doing it well. That means clarity over chaos, sustainable pace over burnout, and real autonomy.

Benefits:

• Flexible working hours
• 30 vacation days
• Workation options
• Real offsites to connect in person

Sometimes our work happens from home. Sometimes from new places. But the focus stays the same: build meaningful tools that make people’s work easier.

We Show Up – Behind the Scenes at Team ’25

Last month, some of our team traveled to Anaheim for Atlassian Team ’25 — a great chance to connect with the community and share what we’ve been working on. After the event, a few of us took some time off to explore and enjoy a bit of vacation. From Vegas to Barcelona to Anaheim — we love showing up and being part of the Atlassian community.

Check out some impressions from Anaheim here.
