Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We provide the labor to power your warehouses, distribution centers and production plants, and the intelligence to optimize them. Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
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.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on production work on LLM- or agent-based systems
- Deep in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js, with a track record designing distributed systems, APIs, and data models on PostgreSQL and modern messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or equivalent)
- Demonstrated ownership of a non-trivial production agent system: orchestration, tool use, retrieval, evals, observability, and cost/latency tuning
- Background that maps to at least one of: vertical AI / AI-agent company, a forward-deployed engineering role, or an AI-native data company. Bonus for supply chain, logistics, or industrial exposure
- A history of leading 0-to-1 builds in early-stage environments—comfortable with ambiguity and high-agency by default
- Strong written and verbal communication—you can run a customer workshop, write the design doc, and recruit your future teammates
More about this role
Traba is building the AI operating system for the industrial supply chain - the network of warehouses, manufacturers, logistics providers, and workers behind the physical goods people rely on every day.
We started by tackling labor, supplying industrial businesses with consistent, reliable temporary workforces, and quickly became the fastest growing staffing company in America.
Since then, we've expanded our suite of AI agents to help logistics providers, manufacturers, 3PLs, and other industrial businesses fully automate their manual workflows, derive insights from their data streams, and transform their decision intelligence.
Our mission is to build a world where the global supply chain operates at peak efficiency.
We’re proud to be backed by some of the world’s best investors, including Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
