About Trellis

Trellis is rewriting the insurance experience from the inside out. We’re the tech company behind Savvy, our licensed insurance agency, and we’re bringing clarity and ease to a space known for… the opposite. With powerful tools, clean design, and a customer-first mindset, we’re making insurance shopping refreshingly effortless.

We’re a profitable, fast-growing Series A startup backed by General Catalyst, QED, NYCA, and Amex Ventures. As a remote-first team, we move quickly, experiment boldly, and build with intention.

If you’re craving meaningful impact, energized by ambiguity, and are ready to build alongside exceptional teammates, you’re going to love doing your best work at Trellis.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Provider Integrations team at Trellis, you'll build and scale the systems that connect Savvy to 150+ insurance carrier and partner APIs. You'll architect reliable integration infrastructure that routes, ranks, and attributes provider traffic, turning partner contracts and specs into well-tested production services.

You’ll lead the way on complex projects by defining scope, setting technical direction, and mentoring teammates along the way. You’ll guide the team through tough challenges, offer thoughtful code reviews, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and collaboration. Whether you're onboarding new teammates or refining our provider integration platform, you’ll be a key force behind the backbone of Savvy.

You will report directly to Dylan Goodman, Head of Provider Integrations.
