About the job

At Trunk Tools, we are at the forefront of transforming the construction industry through cutting-edge AI technology. Recently, we secured a $40 million Series B funding led by Insight Partners, bringing our total funding to $70 million from distinguished investors such as Redpoint and Innovation Endeavors. This funding is propelling our expansion as we deploy AI agents across various job sites.

Our mission is to redefine the future of construction with intelligent automation. With the construction sector valued at over $13 trillion, many of its processes remain outdated and analog. We are dedicated to revolutionizing this landscape by seamlessly integrating AI into everyday field operations.

Founded by industry veterans and technologists from Stanford and MIT, our team has successfully delivered software solutions to over 140,000 field professionals, positively impacting millions and contributing to more than $10 billion in completed projects. Our collective experience from the field equips us with a profound understanding of the industry's unique challenges.

Having developed the foundational AI systems for construction, we are now ready to launch production-grade AI agents, beginning with intelligent document processing and Q&A capabilities, while swiftly expanding into essential operational workflows. With a team that has doubled in size over the past year to 65+ employees (including over 25 engineers), we are entering an exciting phase of rapid growth. This is a unique opportunity to join us at a pivotal moment.

The Founding Platform Leader

Role Mission

As our inaugural Platform leader, you will elevate our infrastructure from a collection of improvised solutions to a robust, scalable Internal Developer Platform (IDP). You will be actively involved in validating core systems while simultaneously building a strong platform team with top-tier SRE, DevOps, and platform engineering talent. Your role will not only involve building a platform but also shaping an organization capable of supporting hundreds of engineers and millions of concurrent users.

Key Responsibilities

  • Platform-as-a-Product: Treat the platform as an internal product, engaging in user research with our product teams to prioritize development roadmaps.
  • Environments & Data: Ensure the provision of reliable and stable development environments and consistent staging data for teams.
  • FinOps & Governance: Assume full P&L responsibility for cloud expenditures, optimizing our multi-million dollar annual budget while maintaining performance standards.
  • Greenfield Architecture: Design and implement the "Paved Road" for our engineering organization, focusing on scalable solutions.
