Role
Who you are
- 3+ 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
What the job involves
- Design and build the development and production platforms that power our products, enabling reliability and security at scale
- Accelerate engineering productivity by empowering your fellow engineers with excellent tooling and systems
- Guide and advise product engineering teams on best practices for ensuring observable, scalable systems
- Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build. This includes an on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed
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, resulting in time-consuming testing processes.
Whilst many enterprises employ large teams of programmers to keep afloat during rapid feature development, Trunk has recognized the inefficiencies this causes and has presented a much simpler and concise solution. Its offering 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.
Trunk has attracted funding from Andreessen Horowitz and is backed by an experienced ex-Uber/Google founding team. The company continues to develop its tools to serve any project whether by a hobbyist or large, enterprise engineering team.
