About EliseAI

At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.

By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.

Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.

About the role

As a Staff Software Engineer at EliseAI, you won't just write code; you'll build software that improves business operations and makes a real impact on people's lives. Instead of following a playbook, you’ll be creating it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll work on a small team with other top Engineers, and you'll take on significant ownership, lead projects, and see your ideas come to life - you’ll essentially operate like a small startup within a startup.

Key Responsibilities

Build systems that enable autonomous buildings to operate and communicate intelligently

Work directly with our customers to develop and own new product features end-to-end from design to deployment

Improve the scalability and reliability of our core infrastructure

Continuously ship new features and improvements in an environment deploying 100+ times per day

Apply engineering best practices in testing, observability, and continuous integration

Balance speed and quality while iterating quickly on production systems

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.

We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements

Experience leading the design, delivery, and long-term ownership of multiple production-grade products

Startup mindset with a strong sense of ownership, urgency, and pragmatism in building and shipping software

Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
