Data Pipeline Engineer

At Trunk Tools, we’re the leading AI company revolutionizing construction—the second-largest industry on earth. With deep traction among Fortune 500 general contractors, we have raised $30M from top investors including Redpoint and Innovation Endeavors.

Our mission is to build the future of construction through intelligent automation. Construction is a $13+ trillion industry still operating primarily in analog—and we’re changing that by embedding AI directly into the jobsite.

Founded by builders and technologists (Stanford, MIT), our experienced team has delivered software used by 140,000+ field professionals, impacting millions of users and contributing to $10B+ in built projects. We're deeply rooted in construction, with many of our team coming from the field.

After years of developing the “brain” of construction, we are now deploying AI agents and workflows to automate critical tasks—beginning with intelligent document processing, Q&A capabilities and rapidly expanding across operational processes. We currently have 50+ employees, including 20 engineers, and have doubled our size in the last 12 months. We’re continuing to grow rapidly as we launch and scale multiple AI agents this year.

• Design, develop and maintain robust file processing pipeline infrastructure

• Orchestrate the flow of data through various stages of processing

• Ensure observability and monitoring of the pipeline’s health

• Integrate data from various sources including industry storage platforms, project management tools, and external APIs

• Implement data quality checks and error handling mechanisms to ensure data integrity

• Collaborate with the machine learning team to enhance pipeline functionality and efficiency
