Trellis AI, a Y Combinator-backed healthcare AI startup, is hiring a Member of Technical Staff for Product Engineering in San Francisco. The company builds computer-use AI agents that automate healthcare administrative tasks including document intake, prior authorizations, and appeals—processing billions of dollars in therapies annually across all fifty states.

The startup operates in a massive market: administrative costs consume over 20% of U.S. healthcare spending, delaying care and driving staff burnout. Trellis claims its AI reduces time to treatment by over 90% while improving prior authorization approval rates. The company trained its agents on millions of clinical data points to convert unstructured documents into structured data compatible with electronic health record systems.

Compensation ranges from $100K to $225K plus 0.10% to 1.50% equity. The role requires experience with Python or Go, ML libraries like PyTorch or TensorFlow, and full-stack development. Trellis grew revenue 10x in recent months and counts General Catalyst, Telesoft Partners, and Google and Salesforce executives among its investors.
