MLOps Engineer

Position Overview

• Location Type: [Not specified]
• Job Type: Full-Time
• Salary: $140K - $200K

At Trunk Tools, we are revolutionizing the construction industry by automating its processes. Our founding team, with experience from SpaceX, Stanford, MIT, and Carta, has a proven track record in software development, having served over 140,000 users in construction and millions beyond, contributing to over $2 billion in built-environment projects. Unlike typical tech startups, our team has deep roots in construction. We have developed the core technology for construction automation and are now deploying workflows and agents, starting with a Q&A document chatbot, to be integrated into construction teams' daily operations. With significant traction among Fortune 500 construction companies, we are expanding our team of 50+ FTE to deploy more agents this year. This role offers the chance to drive the transformation of a multi-trillion-dollar industry plagued by inefficiencies and risks.

Responsibilities

• 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).
• Establish effective monitoring, logging, and governance practices for ML systems.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in ML Operations, with at least 3 years focused on scalable AI/ML deployments.
• Strong proficiency with cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern MLOps frameworks.
• Extensive experience managing GPU and CPU resources for specialized AI workloads (Computer Vision, NLP, or LLM fine-tuning).
• Practical experience with data quality and performance monitoring in production ML environments.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience designing data architectures optimized for AI/ML (vector, graph databases).
• 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.
• Competitive salary and stock option equity packages.
• Three Medical Plans to choose from, including a 100% covered option, plus Dental and Vision Insurance.
• 401K.
• Learning & Growth stipend.
• Free lunch provided in NYC and Austin offices.
• Unlimited PTO; we believe in work-life balance and the importance of rest and rejuvenation.
• IRL / In-Person retreats throughout the year.
