Trunk Tools is the AI platform built for construction. One brain that reads every document on your job, and tools that transform your team’s workflows. Backed by Insight and Redpoint.
About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers are how Trunk Tools gets into the field. You'll embed directly with our general contractor customers, stand up Cortex and our agents inside their real projects, and own the work of turning a pilot into a result the customer can measure: submittal reviews cut from 54.8 days to 14, a 20-sheet bulletin reviewed in under 10 minutes instead of roughly 6 hours, RFIs answered before they're ever sent.
What they're looking for
- 0 to 3 years of software engineering experience with strong computer-science fundamentals. Recent graduates with substantial project or internship experience are encouraged to apply
- Working proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript, and comfort with APIs, data, and building integrations between systems
- Clear, direct communication and genuine comfort in front of customers. We hire engineer-diplomats: people who can write code in the morning and earn a superintendent's trust in the afternoon
- Willingness to travel to jobsites and customer offices, and real comfort working in the field, hard hat included
- A bias to action. You ship, you watch what breaks, you fix it, and you pick up a new domain quickly
- Low ego and a builder's respect for the people doing the work
More about this role
At Trunk Tools, we’re the leading AI company revolutionizing construction, the second-largest industry on earth. We recently raised a $40M Series B led by Insight Partners, bringing our total funding to $70M from top-tier investors including Redpoint and Innovation Endeavors. This new round is fueling our next phase of growth as we scale AI agents across the jobsite.
Our mission is to build the future of construction through intelligent automation. Despite being a $13+ trillion industry, construction still runs largely on analog processes, we’re changing that by embedding AI directly into field operations.
Founded by builders and technologists (Stanford, MIT), our team has delivered software used by over 140,000 field professionals, impacting millions of users and contributing to $10B+ in built projects. Many of us come from the field ourselves, giving us a deep understanding of the industry’s unique challenges.
After years of building the “brain” of construction, we’re now launching production-ready AI agents, starting with intelligent document processing and Q&A, and rapidly expanding into core operational workflows. Our team has doubled in the past year, and with 100+ employees...
