Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We started in workforce—temp staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve—and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. But our edge is more than data: by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale.
We are backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
We are seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial full stack product engineer to join our founding team to help build our core suite of products—mobile apps for both workers & businesses, and web platforms for our business customers and internal Ops team. You'll work closely with our CTO to make key architectural decisions, iterate on the product roadmap, and build the foundational tech platform that will scale over the next several years.
About You:
Voracious Learner: You love exploring new areas, technologies, languages, and frameworks. You can seamlessly switch between discussing API design, user experience, and deployment infrastructure.
Value Clear Communication: You prioritize clear communication, planning, and providing transparent, frequent feedback across the team.
Detail-Oriented: You care about the small details, whether it's design patterns or tabs vs. spaces, and understand how everything contributes to the larger success of the product.
Experienced in Building Full Stack Systems: You have a strong track record of building and shipping scalable, performant applications from frontend user interfaces to backend distributed systems.
You Will:
Lead the development of both frontend and backend applications, guiding and mentoring other engineers when necessary.
Architect the development of our core systems—from real-time job matching algorithms to autonomous worker vetting pipelines powered by ML and AI agents.
Design, architect, and build scalable web and mobile applications, distributed systems, and APIs to meet the growing needs of the business.
Work closely with the product and design teams to create a seamless user experience while maintaining high standards for UI/UX.
Establish and promote best practices for code reusability, performance, and build processes across both the frontend and backend.
Implement systems to monitor application health and performance, helping the team understand user experience and resolve any issues proactively.
Be a key player on a scrappy founding team, contributing to the future of flexible light industrial staffing.
You Have:
5+ Years of Experience in both frontend and backend technologies, specifically Typescript/Javascript, React/React Native, and Node.js or Python.
Strong proficiency in building APIs, distributed systems, and client-side state management, along with experience with tools like Docker, Github Actions, and Datadog.
A demonstrated ability to ship scalable, high-quality products in a fast-paced environment.
Proficiency in databases like PostgreSQL and messaging systems such as RabbitMQ or Kafka.

We are seeking an entrepreneurial Staff Applied Agent Engineer to join as a founding member of the Agents team and lead the development of Traba's agentic platform—the layer that synthesizes the data flowing through our marketplace, talks to our customers' operational systems, and acts autonomously inside the workflows that run their facilities. You'll partner with our CTO to make the core architectural calls on how agents are built, evaluated, and deployed at Traba; set the bar for quality and reliability; and bring the outside perspective on agent-building, FDE-style customer immersion, and data-product craft that this 0-to-1 product needs. About YouYou've already built agents that survived contact with reality. You've shipped agent systems into production at meaningful scale—designed the harness, picked the orchestration patterns, owned the evals, and lived with the on-call. You have strong opinions on where to draw the line between prompting, fine-tuning, retrieval, and code, and why.Domain depth meets technical breadth. You're as comfortable in a warehouse on a customer site as you are in a design doc. You learn an industry's actual operations—WMS quirks, shift cadence, exception handling—and let that knowledge shape architecture decisions. Ideal: prior experience at a vertical AI or AI-agent company (Nash, HappyRobot, Augment, Pallet, Harvey, Legora, ElevenLabs), Palantir/Scale-style FDE, or an AI-native data company (Hex, Omni, dbt).Set direction by shipping. You raise the engineering bar by writing the canonical example, not just the doc. You pick the foundational tools, integrate the right model providers, design the eval infrastructure—and you bring others along.Sweat the small stuff at staff scale. You have strong opinions on design patterns, eval datasets, prompt versioning, observability for agents, and the difference between a clean abstraction and an over-engineered one. You understand that how we do one thing is how we do everything.You WillArchitect Traba's agent platform end-to-end—the orchestration runtime, the eval and observability stack, the integration layer to internal services and customer systems (WMS/TMS/ERP), and the patterns that every agent we ship is built on.Own the foundational technical decisions for this part of the business: model strategy, agent harness design, retrieval and memory architecture, tool/MCP surface, and how we measure quality.Spend real time in the field with customers and operators. Translate what you see into durable product and codify repeatable deployment patterns so each rollout compounds on the last.Build evaluation as a real engineering discipline—datasets, graders, regression suites, experimentation tooling—so we ship agent improvements with the same confidence we'd ship backend code.Hire and mentor the engineers who will build alongside you. Set the technical standards that define what “good” looks like for applied AI at Traba.Partner with the CTO, product, and ops leadership on the multi-year platform roadmap.

Staff Software Engineer (AI Agents)
Senior
On-site
San Francisco, CA , +1
240,000 - 300,000 USD/yr
🏢 Summary: Staff Agent Engineer role focused on building and leading the company’s AI agent platform for industrial supply chain operations. The position involves architecting production-grade agent systems, orchestration, evaluation infrastructure, integrations with operational systems, and model strategy while partnering closely with leadership and customers. The role offers competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive health benefits, and ownership of foundational AI platform decisions. 🗂️ Requirements: 7+ years of software engineering experience, 2+ years of production experience with LLM or agent-based systems, Strong proficiency in Python, Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Experience with Node.js, Experience designing distributed systems, Experience building APIs, Experience with PostgreSQL, Experience with Kafka or RabbitMQ, Production experience with orchestration, retrieval, evals, observability, and agent tooling, Experience leading 0-to-1 product or platform builds, Strong written and verbal communication skills 📃 Skills: Python, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, LLM, AI, APIs, MCP, WMS, TMS, ERP 🏢 Description: Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We started in workforce—temp staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve—and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. But our edge is more than data: by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale. We are backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst. You'll build the AI agents themselves—the harnesses, evals, orchestration, and model strategy the rest of Traba's product runs on. We're seeking an entrepreneurial Staff Agent Engineer to join as a founding member of the Agents team and lead the development of Traba's agentic platform—the layer that synthesizes the data flowing through our marketplace, talks to our customers' operational systems, and acts autonomously inside the workflows that run their facilities. About You You've built agents that survived contact with reality. You've shipped agent systems into production at scale—designed the harness, picked the orchestration patterns, owned the evals, and lived with the on-call—and you have strong opinions on where to draw the line between prompting, fine-tuning, retrieval, and code. Domain depth meets technical breadth. You're as comfortable in a warehouse on a customer site as in a design doc—you learn an industry's actual operations (WMS quirks, shift cadence, exception handling) and let that shape architecture. Set direction by shipping. You raise the bar by writing the canonical example, not just the doc—picking the foundational tools, integrating the right model providers, designing the eval infrastructure, and bringing others along. Sweat the small stuff at staff scale. You have strong opinions on eval datasets, prompt versioning, observability for agents, and the line between a clean abstraction and an over-engineered one. You Will - Architect Traba's agent platform end-to-end—orchestration runtime, eval and observability stack, the integration layer to internal and customer systems (WMS/TMS/ERP), and the patterns every agent is built on. - Own the foundational technical decisions: model strategy, harness design, retrieval and memory architecture, tool/MCP surface, and how we measure quality. - Spend real time in the field with customers and operators—translating what you see into durable product and repeatable deployment patterns. - Build evaluation as a real engineering discipline—datasets, graders, regression suites, and experimentation tooling. - Hire and mentor the engineers who build alongside you, and set the standard for what “good” looks like. - Partner with the CTO, product, and ops leadership on the multi-year platform roadmap. You Have - 7+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on production work on LLM- or agent-based systems. - Deep experience in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js. - Track record designing distributed systems, APIs, and data models on PostgreSQL and modern messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ. - Demonstrated ownership of a non-trivial production agent system: orchestration, tool use, retrieval, evals, observability, and cost/latency tuning. - Background in vertical AI, AI-agent companies, forward-deployed engineering, or AI-native data companies. - Experience leading 0-to-1 builds in early-stage environments. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. Benefits - Start-up equity - Competitive salary - 100% paid health, dental, and vision coverage - Dinner provided via DoorDash - Free DashPass and stocked kitchen for NY employees - Commuter benefit - Gympass benefit - One Medical membership - HSA via Optum - Talkspace - HealthAdvocate - Teledoc Health Salary Range Details The compensation range for this position is set between $240,000 and $300,000, reflecting market analysis and other relevant considerations.
