## 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
