Forward Deployed Engineer (full-time) at Trellis AI | Y Combinator
Trellis builds and deploys computer use agents to get patients access to life-saving medicine.
Our computer-use AI agents process billions of dollars worth of therapies annually with patients in all fifty states. We
do this by automating document intake, prior authorizations, and appeals at scale to streamline operations and
accelerate care. We classify medical referrals, understand chart notes, and automate contract and reimbursement search
to provide patients with accurate coverage determinations and cost responsibility. Think of us as the Stripe of
healthcare billing and reimbursements.
Trellis is a spinout from Stanford AI Lab and is backed by leading investors including YC, General Catalyst, Telesoft
Partners, and executives at Google and Salesforce.
