Senior Software Engineer

Trellis is Modernizing Insurance

Trellis is a venture-backed, high-growth, tech-enabled insurtech company bringing modern insurance experiences to top brands like Truebill (Rocket Mortgage), Albert, Chime, and MoneyLion.

Trellis operates 100% remote using best-in-class collaboration technologies like Zoom and Slack.

Our embedded insurance API's and technology bring the market's leading insurance products (e.g. Progressive, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and hundreds of others) into the apps and ecosystems where customers already manage their finances.

Our proprietary software allows consumers to digitally share their existing insurance information in order to instantly review a side-by-side comparison of prospective quotes against their existing rate and coverage.

Our team of dedicated, nationally-licensed agents provide sales and service over phone, email, and SMS - enabling a truly omnichannel experience that closes the gap between online and offline.

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

Trellis has backing from multiple top venture capital investors, such as General Catalyst, QED Investors, and NYCA Partners.

Trellis is one of the fastest-growing and most profitable companies in the field of insurtech.
