Founding Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Healthcare

About EliseAI

EliseAI develops cutting-edge conversational AI technology for industries fundamental to our lives: housing and healthcare. Everything is built on the foundation of health and home. Broken systems or ineffective processes in these domains have a disproportionate impact on our quality of life and society’s overall wellbeing. Conversely, any solution or technology that solves problems in these areas will have an impact that ripples far beyond them.

That’s the only kind of impact we are interested in having at EliseAI. If you get excited by the thought of working really hard on these kinds of problems, then EliseAI is the right place for you.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to be the first dedicated full stack hire on the healthcare team. You’ll play a foundational role in shaping both the product and the technical architecture. This isn’t about executing a roadmap that’s already been defined—it’s about creating it. You’ll work across the stack and across functions to identify what we need to build, why it matters, and how to make it happen. You should be excited to own projects end-to-end, make foundational backend decisions, and drive features from zero to launch with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with backend engineers, product managers, and operations to design and build user-facing features and internal tools that move the needle.

• Own the development and launch of new products, working directly with clients to gather feedback and iterate quickly.

• Build intuitive, high-quality front-end experiences for complex workflows with a strong focus on usability.

• Make key backend design decisions, including API design, data modeling, and service architecture.

• Develop modular, reusable components and systems to support scalability, maintainability, and engineering velocity.

• Contribute to building the team’s technical culture through best practices, code quality, and thoughtful architecture.

What we're seeking

We’re much more interested in someone who is hungry to learn and perform at a fast growing startup than someone whose resume checks all the boxes.

• Ambitious Innovators: We're in search of individuals who share our excitement for AI's potential to drive positive change. Your passion will fuel our mission to transform industries and improve lives. If you're motivated by challenges and ready to make your mark, you're exactly who we're looking for.

• Independent Operators: You’re comfortable owning complex projects with minimal structure. You can scope and prioritize, make tradeoffs, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates.

• Collaborative Contributors: Collaboration is central to our success. We're seeking team players who thrive in a collaborative environment, communicate effectively, and are enthusiastic about learning from their peers.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience building production software, including both frontend and backend work

• Strong proficiency with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

• Affinity for good UX and passion for good UX experiences

• Experience building, maintaining, and monitoring APIs

• Embodies a startup mentality, demonstrates ownership, and effectively balances high-quality output with a keen sense of urgency

• Great at solving problems with little guidance and has a strong bias for action

• Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week

Nice to have

• 2+ years of Python experience

• AWS experience

• Experience working with Relational databases

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.

Benefits

In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:

• Equity in the company in the form of stock options

• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%

• Fully paid parental leave

• Commuter benefits

• 401k benefits

• Monthly fitness stipend

• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and company-paid lunch

• Fun company social events through our Elise and the City program

• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays

• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!
