Job description

At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. AI has made writing code 10x faster, but shipping is still painfully slow. The bottleneck has shifted downstream - to merge conflicts, flaky tests, inconsistent code quality, and dozens of other frictions that drain productivity and morale. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they'll be happier doing it. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier.

Our founders launched Trunk in 2021 after designing, delivering, and scaling software at Uber, Google, YouTube, and Microsoft. We raised a $25M Series A led by Initialized Capital (Garry Tan) and a16z (Peter Levine), with investments from Haystack Ventures, Garage VC, and the founders of GitHub (Tom Preston-Werner), Apollo GraphQL (Geoff Schmidt), Algolia (Nicolas Dessaigne), and Peopl.ai (Oleg Rogynskyy).

What you'll do 🧑💻

  • Lead end-to-end deployment in private cloud and on-premises environments, including planning, configuration, testing, and rollout.
  • Partner with enterprise IT teams to assess infrastructure, security requirements, and data management practices.
  • Experiment at a high velocity and with a high level of quality to engage our customers and ultimately deliver solutions that exceed their expectations.
  • Design and implement deployment strategies tailored to client needs, ensuring compliance with data privacy and security standards.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve deployment-related technical issues, providing timely solutions to minimize downtime.

We're looking for 🔎

  • You have experience with and enjoy working directly with customers.
  • You have experience deploying enterprise software in private / hybrid cloud environments.
  • You have proven experience administering production Kubernetes clusters and expertise with Helm.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI / CD pipelines, and tools like Git for version control.
  • You have strong expertise in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), networking, and virtualization.
  • You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target.
  • Our tech stack 💻

  • Frontend : Typescript, React, Next.js, AWS
  • Backend : Typescript, Node, AWS
  • Data pipelines : Dagster, python, polars
  • CI / CD : GitHub Actions
  • 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% equity.

    Please note that the compensation range provided is a general guideline only and is subject to change based on location, qualifications, and experience.

    Don’t meet every single requirement? At Trunk, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

    If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, we're happy to help accommodate. Please contact us atrecruiting@trunk.io.
