Job description

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 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.

Note: For this position, we will conduct a 1-month trial period before transitioning to full-time employment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and refine machine learning architectures optimized for advanced conversational flow

• Conduct comprehensive analyses to support decision-making and improve the effectiveness of our AI solutions

• Apply advanced mathematical and machine learning techniques to solve specific problems such as optimizing tenant engagement strategies, predicting tenant behavior, and improving customer interaction processes

• Stay abreast of the latest research in machine learning and AI, and apply innovative approaches to improve our products

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product development, and data science, to integrate and deploy machine learning models

• Work with the latest Large Language Models to leverage the power of generative AI on production scale data

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, Computer Science, or a related field

• Strong foundation in machine learning algorithms, statistical analysis, and data modeling

• Demonstrated ability to apply analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to real-world challenges

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or similar, with experience in machine learning libraries and frameworks

• Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a 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

• A collaborative in-office environment 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 and make the move exciting, not painful!

Job Compensation

The salary range for this role is $150,000 - $230,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation inclusive of salary and any bonuses is determined based on a number of factors including experience and skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process.
