Description For Founding Engineer (Fullstack, Backend focus)

Trellis is building an innovative AI-powered workflow platform for unstructured data, transforming various document types like financial documents, insurance policies, and chat logs into SQL-compliant tables. As a YC and General Catalyst-backed startup with support from early investors in Google, Salesforce, and JP Morgan Chase, we're at the forefront of AI and Data infrastructure innovation.

Our platform enables enterprises to unlock hidden revenue in customer data, enhance RAG applications with advanced analytical capabilities, and enrich data warehouses with business-critical information. We're particularly proud of our world-class team, including international physics olympiad winners and Stanford graduate-level instructors.

As a Founding Engineer, you'll have the unique opportunity to:

  • Build a groundbreaking data platform while working directly with F500 enterprise clients
  • Join an early-stage startup spun out from the Stanford AI lab
  • Work alongside technically brilliant teammates
  • Own new products end-to-end with significant autonomy
  • Collaborate with engineering-focused founders

We're looking for someone who's passionate about building high-quality software with direct impact and enjoys wearing multiple hats. You'll be instrumental in architecting our systems, developing full-stack solutions, and helping shape the future of unstructured data processing.

The role offers competitive compensation ($110K - $225K with 0.10% - 1.50% equity) and the flexibility of working remotely or from our San Francisco office. If you're excited about transforming how enterprises handle unstructured data and want to be part of a fast-growing startup with strong backing, we'd love to hear from you.
