Employee count: 11-50

At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. Merge conflicts, poor code quality or consistency, flaky tests, and dozens of other distractions quickly drain the productivity and morale of those teams. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they will be happier doing it. We're building the tools that empower teams to land code faster and develop happier.
We are building the foundation for a modern software engineering team. Our founders started this journey in 2021 and have designed, delivered, and scaled software at some of the world's largest and fastest-growing tech companies - Uber, Google, YouTube, and Microsoft. We're building a game-changing company, and we hope you are excited to be a part of that audacious goal.
Software has eaten the world; almost every company produces software in some form or fashion, so our addressable market is virtually every company on earth. We're going after every engineering team on the planet - we're starting with smaller teams, but there are literally hundreds of thousands of companies out there for us to empower and maybe only a handful (Google, Facebook, Amazon), that are outside our scope. We are building the DevEx platform to empower the world.
In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A led by Initialized Capital (Garry Tan) and a16z (Peter Levine), with investments from Haystack Ventures, Garage VC, Tom Preston Warner (Founder/CEO of GitHub), Geoff Schmidt (Founder/CEO Apollo GraphQL), Nicolas Dessaigne (Founder/CEO Algolia), and Oleg Rognysky (Founder/CEO Peopl.ai).
You’ll be joining a highly dynamic, collaborative team who closely focuses on all aspects of our tech stack. Engineers at Trunk can expect to work on high impact and very user- focused projects!
Some recent highlights for the team you'd be joining are: migrating our authentication framework in our Next.js web app with zero downtime, creating asynchronous and immediate data processing pipelines, developing multiple views and dashboards, and sending weekly product usage emails.

What you'll do 🧑‍💻

  • Collaborate closely with founders and designers to conceptualize and build user-facing features
  • Create impactful, accessible, and performant UI/UX experiences
  • Build new APIs and enhance data pipelines with gRPC and Node to support front-end needs
  • Ensure the reliability of user-facing features by adding analytics, monitoring, and alerts to the service, enabling swift responses to operational incidents

We're looking for 🔎

  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of implementing full-stack features from conception to production deployment
  • Proven adaptability across multiple programming paradigms and languages and enthusiasm to learn new technologies and tools as project requirements evolve
  • Strong DevEx focused mindset to leave things better than you found them and tackle problems that can unlock developer productivity
  • Experience with cloud-based systems and asynchronous processing pipelines (AWS knowledge is a plus)
  • Strong product sensibility and ability to collaborate with UX designers to implement intuitive, accessible user interfaces
  • Experience breaking down complex systems to isolate issues that span multiple layers of the tech stack and leave others stumped
  • Demonstrated skill in conducting thorough code reviews across different technologies and paradigms
  • Strong collaboration skills to weigh tradeoffs and ability to communicate to drive solid solutions with stakeholders
  • Experience building production ready web servers and composable UI components within a web framework
  • Humility and willingness to make mistakes, learn from them and educate others, and grow as part of a team
  • Have a testing-first mindset, writing tests and deploying to sandbox environments at every stage of development to catch bugs early
  • Production experience designing and implementing APIs, data models, and data pipelines and working with relational databases

Our tech stack 💻

  • Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js
  • Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS, CDK, k8s, gRPC
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, Jaeger
  • CLI/Daemon/LSP: C++20, Bazel, a bit of Rust
  • VSCode Extension: Typescript
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions
  • General: GitHub, Slack, Linear, Slite

What we offer 🎁

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Work-life balance
  • Flexibility to be fully or partly remote
  • Up to $200/month stipend for coworking space for remote folks
  • Few meetings, so you can ship fast and focus on building
  • One Medical membership on us!
  • Top-notch medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
  • All insurance is 100% company-paid ($0 premiums) for employees and highly subsidized for dependents
  • FSA, HSA with company contributions, and pre-tax commuter benefits
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid parental leave ( up to 12 weeks)
The salary and equity range for this role are: $140K - $180K and .14% - .18%.
