Engagement Architect

Trunk Tools, Inc. • Austin, TX

12d • Hybrid

About The Position

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.
The Role
As an Engagement Architect, you'll be on the ground helping our most strategic customers implement AI agents that transform how they build. This is a high-touch, embedded role where you'll spend 2-3 days per week onsite at major construction projects, working shoulder-to-shoulder with project teams and leaders to identify pain points, configure, and deploy solutions to deliver impact.
You'll bridge the worlds of construction operations and AI-powered technology—translating field realities into technical requirements, creating compelling work products that demonstrate ROI, and ensuring our solutions integrate seamlessly into the clients daily workflows. This role combines the strategic thinking of consulting with the hands-on execution of construction, requiring both industry knowledge and the ability to move fast in ambiguity.
