Summary Generated by Built In

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).


We are looking for a motivated and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform/Data Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing data ingestion pipelines that can handle vast amounts of real-time and batch data from various sources. Your focus will be on designing systems that are scalable, reliable, and performant, as well as ensuring the proper integration of data across our entire ecosystem.

What you'll do 🧑‍💻

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data ingestion pipelines to handle large volumes of structured and unstructured data.
  • Optimize and improve the efficiency of existing data processing workflows, ensuring they can scale as the data grows.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather data requirements and ensure seamless integration with various data sources.
  • Implement real-time and batch processing systems for ingesting data from APIs and webhooks.
  • Ensure data quality, consistency, and integrity across all data pipelines.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve performance bottlenecks and data-related issues in the ingestion pipeline.
  • Develop monitoring and alerting systems to proactively manage the health of data pipelines.
  • Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies and tools to improve the scalability and performance of our systems.
  • Document the design, implementation, and operations of data pipelines for knowledge sharing within the team.

We're looking for 🔎

  • 4-5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • You're located within commute distance of San Francisco and are willing to work in office at least 8 days per month.
  • You have experience in areas such as databases, distributed systems, service-oriented architectures, and data infrastructure
  • You derive joy from refactoring and building clean abstractions in order to make complex systems fun to develop on and easy to understand
  • Excellent debugging and troubleshooting skills and the tenacity to drive a solution to a conclusion
  • Experience and intuition to zero in on root causes for bugs that can leave others stumped
  • The ability to operate independently, but know when you are in too deep and need to ask for help
  • Ability to collaborate with colleagues to plan and execute the best solution

Our tech stack 💻

  • Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js
  • Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS, CDK, k8s, gRPC

What We Do

Trunk is a dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. We aim to flatten the lost productivity curve that software projects suffer as they grow in scale and complexity. When a majority of your engineer's time is not spent on actual engineering, when the tax paid to land a new Pull Request is greater than the time to write the code - it's time for a new approach
