Role
Who you are
- 10-12+ years of experience as a software engineer with a strong understanding of key concepts in distributed systems
- 10-12+ years of experience in building and deploying data applications, with a track record of regularly shipping new features
- Fluency in at least two of these languages: Java/Scala/Kolin, Python, Go, Rust, or C++
- Good understanding and practical experience with partitioning, replication, map-reduce, indexing, and CAP theorem
- Experience with distributed storage systems (S3, HDFS, Hive, ClickHouse, Elastic, etc), distributed processing engines (Spark, etc), and message queues (Kafka, SQS, etc)
- Passion for building large-scale ML applications and improving software engineers' productivity
- Understanding of key concepts in natural language processing, machine learning, or statistical analysis
- (Nice to have) Some experience with machine learning stack (pandas, PyTorch, numpy, sci-kit, transformers, etc)
What the job involves
- We know the frustration of trying to deliver code while constantly being interrupted by slow CI, flaky tests, and fragile processes. At Trunk, we’re building the tools to bring the joy back to software development. We’re looking for entrepreneurial people who are passionate about solving these problems
- As a founding member of our Data Engineering team, you’ll leverage your technical expertise to build data pipelines for processing and storing the data generated by our customer's CI/CD and automated tests
- You’ll also experiment with integrating AI models to drive analytics and insights for our customers
- We're tackling challenging problems and need engineers who can operate well in ambiguity and develop great solutions
- As an engineering team, we thrive on our ability to move quickly and adapt as we learn
- Quickly delivering value to customers and getting their feedback is critical to our success
- Engineers will be able to work closely with customers to understand the nuances of their use cases
- Build fault-tolerant and scalable data pipelines
- Design efficient data storage, collaborating with product engineers to create fast and reliable data-driven features
- Debug, profile, and optimize distributed data-intensive applications to improve their latency, accuracy, resource consumption, and throughput
- Design and build observability of data quality and accuracyIntegrate
- ML models like Llama to analyze data and create features
Our take
Software and web development used to be a slow and steady process, but these days developers must rapidly develop new features if they are to keep up with the competition. Coding like this inevitably leads to bugs particularly when done in a rush, and this results in a time-consuming and inefficient testing process.
Whilst many enterprises employ large teams of programmers to keep afloat during rapid feature development, Trunk has recognized the financial and time inefficiencies this causes and has presented a much simpler and concise solution. The company's main product "Check" leverages automation to run formatters, spell checkers, linters, and static analyzers to facilitate a frictionless coding and merging process in C++, GitHub Actions, JS, and other languages.
An early stage company, Trunk has attracted funding from Andreessen Horowitz and is backed by an experienced ex-Uber/Google founding team. They are currently focused on developing their tooling solution to be effective in anything from one-person hobby projects through to 800-person engineering teams.
