You've shipped real product on top of LLMs—not just chat wrappers. You've designed agent harnesses, structured tools, written evals, and tuned prompts against production traces. You think in terms of capability, reliability, and unit economics, not just “does the model say the right thing.”Domain-immersed. You enjoy spending time with the people who actually do the work.

Bonus points if you've done this for a vertical AI or AI-agent company before (e.g., Nash, HappyRobot, Augment, Pallet, Harvey, Legora, ElevenLabs).High-agency in ambiguity. You're comfortable being dropped into a fuzzy problem with a customer, a half-formed hypothesis, and a deadline. You scope, build, evaluate, and ship without waiting for someone to hand you the spec.Sweat both ends of the stack. You can move between prompt iteration, eval design, backend services, data modeling, and the customer-facing UI in the same week. You care about the small details—evals that actually catch regressions, prompts that fail gracefully, traces that are easy to debug.You WillEmbed with our customers and operators to deeply understand how supply chains run today—then design and ship agents that take meaningful work off their plate.Build production agent systems on top of frontier LLMs: tool use, sub-agents, retrieval, structured outputs, MCP servers, and the orchestration layer that ties them together.Own evaluation as a first-class discipline.

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 Traba's product on top of AI agents—taking frontier models and existing agents and putting them to work across our staffing marketplace to automate the pipeline that sources, vets, matches, and places workers on millions of shifts. (Our AI Agents team builds the agent platform; you apply it everywhere it creates leverage.) This is a product-engineering role first, so you'll go where the priorities are—some quarters that's an agent that automates vetting or matching, others it's a payments flow or platform work. You'll partner with our CTO on architecture and roadmap, and build the platform the rest of the company runs on. About You: - An applier, not a researcher. You take frontier models and existing agents and wire them into real product across the stack—shipping reliable automation rather than owning the orchestration internals. - Voracious learner. You move easily between API design, UX, and deployment infrastructure. - Proven full-stack builder. You have a track record of shipping scalable, performant applications from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems. You Will: - Apply existing agents and frontier models across the stack—worker app, business app, ops platform, marketplace—to automate vetting, matching, and fulfillment. - Lead frontend and backend development, mentoring other engineers. - Architect and build core systems—real-time matching, autonomous vetting pipelines, distributed systems, and APIs. - Own product surfaces end to end, partnering closely with product and design. You Have: - 5+ years across frontend and backend: TypeScript, React/React Native, and Node.js or Python. - Strong with APIs, distributed systems, PostgreSQL, and messaging (Kafka or RabbitMQ). - Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or agents into real product—prompting, tool wiring, evals. - A track record of shipping scalable products in fast, ambiguous, early-stage environments. Benefits: - Start-up equity - Competitive salary - 100% paid health, dental & vision coverage - Dinner provided via DoorDash, free DashPass & 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 $200,000 and $240,000, reflecting market analysis and other relevant considerations. Equal Opportunity Employer: Traba is dedicated to promoting equal opportunity employment practices. We evaluate all applicants without discrimination based on legally protected characteristics and encourage applicants from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets. Our Values: - Dream Big - Olympian’s Work Ethic - Growth Mindset - Customer Obsession
