About the role
**About Trellis**
Trellis builds and deploys AI agents that help patients access life-saving therapies.
Our platform automates the complex administrative workflows that stand between patients and treatment, including document intake, prior authorizations, appeals, reimbursement research, and coverage determination. Today, our self-improving AI agents process billions of dollars in therapies annually and support patients across all 50 states.
Founded out of the Stanford AI Lab, Trellis combines cutting-edge AI with deep healthcare expertise to solve one of the largest operational challenges in healthcare: getting patients the care they need, faster. We work with leading healthcare organizations to streamline operations, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate access to treatment at scale.
We’re backed by leading investors including General Catalyst, YC, Telesoft Partners, and executives from Google and Salesforce. Over the past year, we’ve experienced exceptional growth, scaling revenue rapidly while expanding our footprint across specialty healthcare markets.
Joining Trellis means working at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and company-building. You’ll partner directly with the founders, help shape the next phase of growth, and see the real-world impact of your work in the number of patients who receive critical treatment because of the systems we build.
