Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be. \nBy integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.\nHousing: 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.\n\nHealthcare: 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.\n\nWith EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.\nAbout the Role\nEliseAI invites top-tier professionals in Machine Learning and adjacent disciplines to join our team. This position is perfectly suited for individuals with a robust mathematical and quantitative foundation-this includes, but is not limited to, mathematicians, theoretical physicists, and computer scientists-who are eager to apply their knowledge to tangible challenges. As a junior research scientist at EliseAI, you will join a fast-moving team of world-class researchers engaged in groundbreaking research on machine learning and large language models, developing predictive models to advance our AI capabilities, and much more. If you thrive in a vibrant startup setting and are keen to apply your academic expertise to innovative applications, we encourage you to connect with us.\nNote: For this position, we will conduct a 2 month trial period before transitioning to full-time employment.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop and refine machine learning architectures optimized for advanced conversational flow\n\nConduct comprehensive analyses to support decision-making and improve the effectiveness of our AI solutions\n\nApply advanced mathematical and machine learning techniques to solve specific problems such as optimizing tenant engagement strategies, predicting tenant behavior, and improving customer interaction processes\n\nStay abreast of the latest research in machine learning and AI, and apply innovative approaches to improve our products\n\nWork closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product development, and data science, to integrate and deploy machine learning models\n\nWork with the latest Large Language Models to leverage the power of generative AI on production scale data\n\nMove at rocket speed, build something massive.\nWe’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.
