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

As a 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

  • Propose and implement meaningful improvements to our architecture and design patterns

  • Collaborate with product and design to turn AI capabilities into user-facing experiences

  • 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

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

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

  • Ability to solve complex problems independently with minimal guidance

  • Bias for action — you move quickly from idea to implementation.

  • Solid understanding of system design and scalable architecture principles.

  • 1+ years of experience in Java, C#, Go, or Python

Nice to haves include

  • Understanding of microservices architecture and event-driven distributed systems

  • Understanding of machine learning and data

  • AWS experience

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 so fast. 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.

  • Unlimited tokens

  • Equity in the company

  • Fully paid parental leave

  • Commuter benefits

  • 401k benefits

  • Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
