Senior Security Engineer

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

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 and operations teams to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities, automate security processes, and ensure compliance with industry standards. 

Key Responsibilities

• Execute and enhance a comprehensive vulnerability management program, including identification, assessment, and remediation of security vulnerabilities.
• Automate security processes, including asset management, vulnerability management, and patch management, using cloud-based tools and scripting.
• Focus on AWS security, ensuring robust protection across all aspects of our cloud infrastructure.
• Integrate security tools and processes into AWS, collaborating with engineering and operations teams.
• Provide security guidance throughout the development lifecycle, including secure coding practices and vulnerability assessments.
• Understand and communicate the risk associated with vulnerabilities to stakeholders across the organization, providing actionable security guidance.
• Develop and collect metrics to track the effectiveness of security initiatives 
• 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.

Requirements

• Proven track record in automating security processes and integrating cloud-based security tools.
• Demonstrated experience in managing comprehensive vulnerability management programs.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, capable of working independently with minimal guidance.
• Strong bias for action, proactively addressing issues and taking initiative.
• Willing to work in person at our NYC headquarters with the team 4-5 days per 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.
