Trunk Tools takes a market-based approach to pay, and pay may vary depending on your location. U.S. locations are categorized into one of four zones based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. Your starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. In addition to salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package and equity component.

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 65+ employees (25+ engineers), we’re scaling fast and entering a period of hypergrowth—this is a rare opportunity to join at an inflection point.

What you will do and achieve:

Enhance our capabilities to understand and extract information from images in the construction domain, such as blueprints, schematics and site photos

Develop and deploy computer vision models, including image classification, object detection, and segmentation

Build and optimize pipelines for integrating vision models into existing workflows

Design efficient labeling processes to acquire proprietary datasets, for training proprietary algorithms

Process and analyze a diverse set of documents beyond images, including text and tables

Design and conduct experiments to evaluate and improve model performance and robustness

Who you are:

MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics or a related field

5+ years of experience in computer vision, with a focus on building production-ready systems

Proficiency in Python, ML and experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, and computer vision libraries like OpenCV

Strong experience with image processing, feature extraction, and visual data analysis

Experience with visual transformers and their applications in computer vision tasks

Familiarity with LLM-based applications and RAG systems in real-world scenarios

Interest in the construction industry

Bonus: Experience with multi-model LLMs or embedding models

Bonus: Experience with processing construction-specific visual data, such as blueprints or site images

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

3 Medical Plans to choose from including 100% covered option. Plus Dental and Vision Insurance!

Flexible long-term work options (remote and hybrid)

Free lunch provided in the office in NYC & Austin - you’ll never go hungry with us!

Unlimited PTO; We truly believe in work-life balance and that hard work should be balanced with time for rest and rejuvenation

IRL / In-Person retreats throughout the year

At Trunk Tools, we’re working hard to build a more productive and safer environment within the construction industry, and we strive to live by these same values here at Trunk Tools HQ. As an equal-opportunity employer, we are committed to building an inclusive environment where you can be you. We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected class.
