Senior Security Engineer

About EliseAI

At EliseAI, 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 EliseAI, 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.

• Build and embed security-first application primitives across our products

• Contribute meaningfully to AWS security, ensuring robust protection across all aspects of our cloud infrastructure

• 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

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.

Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.

• Equity in the company

• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
