Job description

At Trella Health, our mission is simple: empowering meaningful change in healthcare.

We are building AI-enabled intelligence and workflows that help healthcare organizations make smarter decisions, strengthen operations, and support healthier outcomes for patients. Our platform connects health systems and post-acute providers through actionable intelligence and connected workflows that improve how care is coordinated across the healthcare continuum.

That work starts with our people. Trellavators are collaborative, curious, and committed to doing meaningful work that makes a measurable impact. We move quickly, support each other, keep our commitments, and continuously look for better ways to serve our customers and one another.

If you are excited by the opportunity to grow your career while helping shape the future of healthcare intelligence, workflows, and outcomes, we would love to meet you.

Position Overview:

The Clinical Solutions Development team is a fast-moving, high-quality group focused on solving one of healthcare’s most complex challenges: patient discharge. We are expanding the scope of our work and the team to solve it. To help us do that, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale the data-driven healthcare solutions. You'll own significant pieces of our architecture, set technical direction, and raise the bar for engineering quality across the team. This is a hands-on role for someone who writes excellent code and elevates the people and systems around them.

We operate like a startup within a larger organization–highly collaborative, often challenging status quo, and always looking to get better. If you’re excited about building something meaningful (and having fun while you do it), we’d love to meet you.
