About Elloe AI

Elloe is building the immune system for AI. We help organizations in healthcare, finance, and policy deploy GenAI systems that are explainable, auditable, and safe. Our stack fuses SHAP explainability, secure Vault sync, and red-team simulation defense — all built by engineers from MIT and Harvard.

About the Role: You’ll own the design of SHAP-driven explainability and model alignment systems for GenAI in high-stakes industries. From human-in-the-loop correction to production-grade dashboards, you’ll architect and ship the critical loops that make AI traceable, safe, and compliant. for real-world GenAI. This means SHAP-layer visualizations, alignment experiments with AutoHeal, and deeply integrating human feedback into every model correction. You’ll own core loops that power how Elloe learns to heal itself.

What You’ll Own

  • Design and implement SHAP-based explanation layers for GenAI outputs
  • Architect AutoHeal interventions for misaligned model behavior
  • Build alignment experiments grounded in real-world compliance datasets
  • Own deployment of explainability dashboards for internal and customer usage

Who You Are

  • MIT/Harvard (CS, EECS, HST) with strong research-to-production instincts
  • Familiar with SHAP, LIME, or other explainability libraries
  • Able to design alignment experiments that are both empirical and operational
  • Thrive in ambiguity and ship aligned features end-to-end

Why Now

GenAI is entering regulated sectors faster than governance can keep up. AutoHeal v4.2 is Elloe’s leap toward traceable, compliant AI — just as hospitals, banks, and policy orgs realize they need it. This is the right mission at the right moment.

You’ll Leave This Role With

  • Founder-level ownership on compliance AI infra
  • A deep technical legacy in one of GenAI’s most urgent domains
  • Equity in a company built to define real-world alignment
  • A public portfolio of traceable, explainable AI systems

Logistics & Application

  • Compensation: Salary + equity
  • Commitment: Full-time or intense part-time (15+ hrs/week)
  • Start: Rolling (ideal: within 2–4 weeks)
  • To Apply: Tell us how you'd extend SHAP to make multi-modal outputs traceable

Why work at Elloe AI

  • Mission-driven culture: The team describes itself as “mission-first, values-led,” focused on making AI safe and trustworthy in critical domains.
  • Small, global team: With ~10 employees across three continents, new hires can have outsized impact and direct exposure to founders.
  • Flexible work options: Job postings list “In-Office or Remote” for most roles, with the Austin HQ operating on-site; typical time on-site is listed as “OnSite Workspace” for HQ, but remote arrangements appear available.
  • High-profile visibility: Being a Top 20 finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 gives the company industry recognition and a startup event pedigree.
  • Meaningful impact: The company’s own metrics (100K+ medical errors prevented, $20M+ biased loans blocked) suggest employees contribute to directly measurable social good.
  • Diverse, distributed team: Team members come from backgrounds including Cerner, SAP, Freshworks, Kenya Power, and others, indicating a mix of enterprise and startup experience.
