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
As the first DevOps Engineer at EliseAI, you will own the systems and processes that support reliable software deployment across multiple environments. You’ll be responsible for managing configuration, maintaining deployment workflows, and ensuring operational consistency as our infrastructure scales. This role requires close collaboration across engineering, product, and platform teams to support end-to-end delivery—from development through production. You’ll help build the foundation for how we deploy, monitor, and scale our systems as the company continues to grow.
Key Responsibilities
- Build, maintain, and improve infrastructure using AWS and modern DevOps practices
- Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems to ensure high availability
- Automate deployment pipelines and manage CI/CD workflows
- Collaborate with engineers to identify and resolve performance, scalability, and reliability issues
- Improve system security and auditability across environments
- Evaluate and introduce new tools and technologies to enhance operations
Requirements
- 3+ years of DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience, preferably at a high-growth startup
- Strong AWS experience, including services like EC2, ECS, RDS, Lambda, and IAM
- Proficiency in scripting languages (preferably Python) and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform)
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to debug and optimize complex systems
- Experience with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or similar
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and take ownership of large initiatives from day one
- Willing to work in person from our NYC office 4-5 days a week
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
- Our brand new Midtown south office 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 from outside of the Greater NYC metro area - we'll make the move exciting, not painful.
Job Compensation Range:
The salary range for this role is $210,000 - $260,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process.

What We Do
EliseAI builds vertical AI agents for housing and healthcare — sectors that together make up nearly 40% of household spending.
These agents automate high-volume workflows like leasing, maintenance, renewals, and patient intake, helping organizations cut costs, improve efficiency, and deliver better experiences.
How does it work?
EliseAI integrates directly into operational workflows:
Housing: Manages leasing, maintenance, renewals, billing, and resident communication.
Healthcare: Handles intake, scheduling, call-center operations, and patient follow-up.
Unlike traditional chatbots that only answer questions, EliseAI agents complete full workflows end-to-end — from scheduling and payments to work orders and record updates.
We’re building a future of fully autonomous buildings and healthcare systems, similar to autonomous cars. Our technology takes on the repetitive, manual tasks that slow teams down, allowing them to monitor, decide, and act through AI. This reduces operational overhead while empowering people to focus on higher-value work.
Right now, we're in the process of expanding our offerings from the multifamily industry to encompass more industries, including healthcare. We're seeking founder-minded candidates to join our fast-paced environment and tight-knit team committed to making a positive impact. Discover opportunities: https://www.eliseai.com/careers
