Senior Software Engineer (AI Agents)

Traba is building applied AI systems for industrial supply chain operations.

You'll build the AI agents themselves—the harnesses, evals, orchestration, and model strategy the rest of the product runs on. The role focuses on building an agentic platform that synthesizes operational data and operates autonomously inside customer supply chain workflows.

You’ll embed deeply in customer operations, design and ship production agent harnesses on top of frontier models, and partner closely with product and operations teams to scale deployments.
