From the original posting

  • 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.

About The Role

EliseAI is looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join our team and help protect our innovative AI solutions. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security measures to protect our systems, data, and users. You will work closely with our engineering, information technology, and infrastructure teams to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities, automate security processes, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Automate security processes, including asset management, vulnerability management, and patch management, using cloud-based tools and scripting

  • Lead the adoption of developer tooling—such as linters, static analysis, posture assessment scanners, and query inspectors—to accelerate secure system development

  • Build and embed security-first application primitives across our products

  • Contribute meaningfully to AWS security, ensuring robust protection across all aspects of our cloud infrastructure

  • Provide security guidance throughout the development lifecycle, including secure coding practices and vulnerability assessments

  • Regular identification, assessment, and remediation of security vulnerabilities

  • Understand and communicate the risk associated with vulnerabilities to stakeholders across the organization, providing actionable security guidance

  • Work closely with other departments to align security strategies with business goals

  • Ensure project plans and security documentation are complete and up to date, providing oversight and direction for security initiatives

  • Participate in retrospectives and other activities to continuously improve the security posture of the organization

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

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

Requirements

  • Proven track record in automating security processes and integrating cloud-based security tools

  • Experience contributing application code that contributes to the overall security of the application including features, bug fixes, or internal tooling

  • Hands-on experience with AWS security practices and tools

  • Proficiency in languages such as Python, Go, Ruby, and JavaScript

  • Possesses a startup mindset with a strong sense of ownership, balancing high-quality work with a sense of urgency

  • Excellent problem-solving skills, capable of working independently with minimal guidance

  • Strong bias for action, proactively addressing issues and taking initiative

  • Adaptable to assist in all pillars of security across the organization

Why Join

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.

  • Equity in the company

  • Fully paid parental leave

  • Commuter benefits

  • 401k benefits

  • Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
