Founding Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Healthcare

Join to apply for the Founding Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Healthcare role at EliseAI

At Elise

AI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.

By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.

• 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.

With Elise

AI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

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.

• 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

• 3+ years of experience building production software, including both frontend and backend work
• Strong proficiency with JavaScript, Type Script, 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 5 days a week

• 2+ years of Python experience
• AWS experience
• Experience working with Relational databases

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.

In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at Elise

AI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:

• Equity in the company
• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
• Fully paid parental leave
• Commuter benefits
• 401k benefits
• Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters
• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office
• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!

The salary range for this role is $230,000 - $270,000. Elise
