About Trunk Club Tech

We're building the future of retail and creating meaningful relationships at scale. Our stack consists of lightweight single-responsibility apps, advanced Javascript MV*-powered front-ends, graph databases and machine learning. We strive to create amazing user experiences for users both internal and external.

We are polyglots, using the best tool for the problem at hand. You’ll see languages and technologies like Ruby, Sidekiq, ES6, React, PostgreSQL with hstore and json, Sinatra, Kafka, Redis, Swift, Android, Docker, Ansible, and Elasticsearch. We make extensive use of AWS with the goal of having software-defined everything.

Most importantly we want developers and leaders that have a keen business sense and an entrepreneurial attitude. We work directly with the business to build solutions that solve real problems and want engineers that can thrive in an environment where you’re in the driver’s seat to create something amazing.

Who You Are

You know the ins and outs of moving an application from development to testing to production. You’re comfortable building software solutions and systems – and love the value created in the business by doing so. You fully understand that DevOps is more about collaboration and culture and not just infrastructure as code. We welcome new ideas and technologies – you’ll be critical in deciding technologies and strategies to scale our workloads, be highly available and handle disaster. You're comfortable working in an agile and rapid environment where you are given lots of autonomy with matching responsibility.

Everyone on the Trunk Club tech team yearns to get their hands dirty in technical projects. DevOps has the privilege of being able to do so from development to production.
