Job description

What we’re building and why we’re building it

Trellis is an insurtech start-up. Our mission is to build industry-leading solutions that make insurance easy for everyone, from consumers to partners to insurers. Our insurance distribution platform brings the market's leading insurance brands into the apps and ecosystems consumers already use (e.g., Rocket Money) to help them find, compare, and purchase personal insurance. We are increasingly on the leading edge of applying both traditional machine learning and generative AI to the insurance shopping experience to achieve our mission.

We have backing from multiple top venture capital investors, including QED (Credit Karma, SoFi), General Catalyst (Airbnb, Stripe) and Nyca (Acorns, Revolut). And we're fast-growing and cash flow positive, making us the ideal work environment for people who want start-up pace and ownership combined with larger company benefits!

We’re fully remote. We believe it allows us to find the best talent wherever it is, provide our team with maximum flexibility, and stand out to candidates.

Trellis is led by third-time fintech entrepreneur, Daniel Demetri, who has previously founded multiple fintech and insurtech startups that now operate as publicly-traded companies.

Our Values

Extreme Ownership – We fulfill our promises to each other and to our customers. We own our responsibilities 110%.
Speed – We work quickly and pragmatically. We move fast and get things done.
Craft – We are constantly learning and bettering ourselves and the way we work.
Collaboration – We work transparently, solicit feedback, and leave our egos at the door.
Positivity – We see a cup half-full, focus on the team's potential, and rise to challenges..
