About the role
Build agents that can understand, decide, and act reliably inside real hospitality operations.
The mandate: Move AI from impressive demos to dependable operational systems with measurable learning loops. The exact shape will evolve — we care more about the outcome you can own than preserving the boundaries of a job description.
What you will own:
- Build agent tools, orchestration, memory, and evaluation systems
- Use traces and real-world failures to improve reliability
- Create learning loops that make the product compound with every deployment
Signals we look for: AI-native workflows, evaluation discipline, systems thinking, bias toward production evidence.
Cadence: Three-month cycles (1 month intensive retreat + 2 months remote). Compensation: $80K–$120K + equity.
About Trellis
Trellis (legal entity: Trellis Tech, Inc.) builds AI agents that run operations end-to-end for short-term rental (STR) property managers. Its platform replaces the fragmented stack of 5–10 tools that operators typically use — covering guest communications, cleaning/maintenance dispatch, vendor coordination, owner updates, and claim filing — with a single agentic layer that maintains full operational context across all systems. Rather than fixed software, Trellis dynamically generates workflows and interfaces around how each operator runs their business. The company describes itself as 'the operating layer for short-term rentals.'
