A construction payroll and compliance platform built for specialty…. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re hiring a senior software engineer to help build the core systems that power Trayd. This is not a “take tickets and stay in your lane” job. Engineers at Trayd own product areas end-to-end. You’ll design, build, ship, and maintain real systems that move real money, under real compliance constraints, for customers who depend on us every week.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years building production software on a team
- Strong TypeScript and Node.js fundamentals
- Full-stack capable (or excited to be) and comfortable working across systems
- High ownership mindset: you ship, you fix, you follow through
- Strong judgment balancing speed, correctness, and maintainability
- You communicate clearly and collaborate well across functions

Trayd is building the operating system for commercial construction: payroll, compliance, and back office workflows that actually work in the real world.
Construction is one of the biggest industries in North America, and it still runs on a messy mix of spreadsheets, legacy payroll providers, and manual processes that break the moment things get even slightly complex. The people doing the work are the hardest working people in the country, and the companies running crews are forced to spend hours every week fighting systems that were never built for them.
We’re changing that.
Trayd started with a simple promise: construction workers should be able to access the money they already earned faster, and subcontractors should be able to run payroll without chaos. Today, we’re building deeper infrastructure across payroll, union rules, job costing, and accounting workflows so our customers can run their businesses with confidence. We’re in the next phase of growth, with accelerating customer demand and a platform that runs real payroll every week, and we’re scaling engineering to match it.
Trayd is based in New York...
