MLOps Engineer

At Trunk Tools, we are tackling the massive $13 trillion+ construction industry. We’re an exceptional team of serial entrepreneurs, brought together by our shared mission: automating construction. Our founding team (SpaceX, Stanford, MIT, Carta, etc.) has successfully built and deployed software in construction for 140k+ users, millions of users beyond the construction space, and worked on +$2 billion of built-environment projects. We aren’t another out-of-touch tech startup, most of our team comes from construction. 

We spent the last few years building the brain behind construction. Now we are deploying workflows/agents, starting with Q&A document chatbot, to be ingrained in construction teams’ workflows, ultimately to automate construction. Given our immense traction with several Fortune 500 construction companies,  we are doubling our team (currently 50+ FTE) in order to deploy several more agents this year. You will have an opportunity to drive the transformation of a multi-trillion-dollar industry full of waste, risks and inefficiencies.

• Develop and manage infrastructure for distributed model training (e.g., SageMaker, Ray, Kubernetes).

• Deploy ML models using containerization (Docker), orchestration tools (Kubernetes, ECS), and serving frameworks

• Integrate ML workflows seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines for efficient model building, testing, and deployment

• Create and maintain robust data and ML pipelines using Prefect, Airflow, or custom orchestration tools

• Implement comprehensive experiment tracking (MLflow, Weights & Biases) and observability systems (Arize, Evidently)

• Practical experience with data quality and performance monitoring in production ML environments

• Bonus: Experience designing data architectures optimized for AI/ML (vector, graph databases)

• Bonus: Familiarity with RAG systems and agentic applications

What we offer:

• 🎖️ A close-knit and collaborative early-stage startup environment where every voice is heard and every opinion matters.

We realize applying for jobs can feel daunting at times. We don’t expect you to check all the qualification boxes and encourage you to apply if you have experience in some of the areas.
