Trellis AI seeks product lead for health care automation push

Trellis AI, a San Francisco startup from Y Combinator’s W24 batch, is hiring a product lead as it expands software that helps patients get access to high-cost therapies.

The company builds AI agents for health care administrative work, including document intake, prior authorization, appeals, reimbursement research and coverage checks. Trellis says its systems support patients across all 50 states and process billions of dollars in therapies each year.

The role pays $120,000 to $250,000 and requires at least five years of experience building technical products. Trellis wants someone who can work with founders, engineers, customers and health care executives on product strategy and 0-to-1 launches.

Medication access sits in one of health care’s most paperwork-heavy zones. Patients, providers and drug manufacturers often wait on benefits checks, insurer approvals and appeal packets before treatment can begin. Trellis aims to compress that process with agents that handle repeat administrative steps and learn from prior cases.

Trellis says the product lead will run customer discovery, shape demos, guide implementation and translate workflow pain into product decisions. The company lists AI agents, workflow automation, LLM products and health-tech experience as preferred backgrounds.

The startup says General Catalyst, YC, Telesoft Partners and executives from Google and Salesforce back the company. Trellis, founded in 2024, lists a 34-person team and active status on Y Combinator.

The job posting also shows how AI startups now sell into regulated markets. Trellis needs product leadership that can handle model capability, customer trust and compliance-heavy workflows at once. A product manager in this seat has to understand where automation can remove work from staff and where a human still needs to make the call.
