Company mission
To help teams build software better, faster.
Role
Who you are
- Have 6-8+ years of professional experience
- Know when to dive down the rabbit hole to figure something out and when to pull the plug and work around it
- See a problem and want to solve it (after maybe complaining about it)
- Are super productive. We’ll have tons of leadership opportunities as we grow, but right now every person at Trunk is coding all day every day and we have a flat structure
- Believe all code landing on main needs to be tested through unit and integration tests
- Are opinionated about how quality software should be written, but never drown out the thoughts of others
- Solve problems on their own but also know when to raise a hand for help
What the job involves
- At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly
- Merge conflicts, poor code quality or consistency, flaky tests, and dozens of other distractions quickly drain the productivity and morale of those teams
- Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they will be happier doing it
- We're building the tools that empower teams to land code faster and develop happier
- We are building the foundation for a modern software engineering team
- Our founders started this journey in 2021 and have designed, delivered, and scaled software at some of the world's largest and fastest-growing tech companies - Uber, Google, YouTube, and Microsoft
- We're building a game-changing company, and we hope you are excited to be a part of that audacious goal
- Software has eaten the world; almost every company produces software in some form or fashion, so our addressable market is virtually every company on earth
- We're going after every engineering team on the planet - we're starting with smaller teams, but there are literally hundreds of thousands of companies out there for us to empower and maybe only a handful (Google, Facebook, Amazon), that are outside our scope
- We are building the DevEx platform to empower the world
- Our tech stack 💻:
- Frontend: Typescript, React, Redux, Next.js
- Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS, CDK, k8s, gRPC
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, Jaeger
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions
- CLI/Daemon/LSP: C++20, Bazel
- VSCode Extension: Typescript
- General: GitHub, Slack, Linear, Slite
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.
