## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- 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. You've shipped AI features, even if you didn't build the platform
- A track record of shipping scalable products in fast, ambiguous, early-stage environments
