What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior DevOps Engineer position at EliseAI?
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.
We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.
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
We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.
Requirements
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.
Benefits
In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:
The salary range for this role is $230,000 - $300,000. 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.
