Role

Who you are

8-12 years of full-stack development experience, roughly 80% backend / 20% frontend
Highly proficient in TypeScript and Node (Express)
Architecturally-minded, with strong experience in data schema modeling and comfort across relational databases
Deep experience building read/write integrations to third-party systems, including transferring large volumes of data daily with systems you don't own
Strong grasp of data synchronization strategies: ETL, data normalization, webhooks and polling, idempotency, rate limiting/throttling, back-off and retry logic, dead-letter queues
Experience with API design and lifecycle — public/external APIs, API versioning, OAuth/authentication
Experience with scheduled job/worker and queue systems (Prisma, BullMQ, SQS, RabbitMQ, or similar)
Comfortable on customer calls — debugging live issues and gathering integration requirements directly from customers
You know how to instrument a system so failures surface before a customer notices, and you can reason about infrastructure trade-offs (scaling workers, managing queue backpressure, isolating failures) without needing a dedicated DevOps team to hold your hand
You use AI tools to move faster, but you know where to draw the line. You can read and reason about generated code rather than shipping it blind, and you know when a problem needs your own judgment instead of a prompt

What the job involves

Build and enhance 3rd party integrations: Architect and develop complex, high-volume integrations with third-party systems
Own the integrations foundation end to end: self-serve setup, scalability, rate limiting, retries, and observability into integration health
Debug and support live integrations: Get hands-on with debugging, setting up, and maintaining integrations in production, including direct troubleshooting on customer calls
Scale our systems: Iterate on backend architecture to support the growing needs of thousands of users, keeping systems robust and scalable
Ensure reliability: Guarantee applications are reliable, well-instrumented, and free from bugs, with clear ownership of where and how integration health is monitored
Strategic participation: Help shape product and architecture strategy, bringing informed perspective on the tools, practices, and platform decisions the team relies on daily
Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with product, design, and customer success to ship and support integrations with real users

Our take

The US construction industry is worth over $850B, but it’s plagued by a worsening short staffing issue that’s leading to spiralling costs, and a real chance of decreased on-site safety. This is something that Trunk Tools is looking to address.

Trunk Tools is revolutionizing construction documentation with an AI-powered platform that automates the organization of unstructured project files. It processes documents like PDFs, spreadsheets, and blueprints. Which also allows teams to spot any potential project issues and surface insights.

With a growing customer base and substantial funding, Trunk Tools is really making a name for itself. Recent capital acquired will help it further expand its team and platform and put it in a position to lead the construction software market.
