Staff Software Engineer (Applied AI)

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.

• Set the standard for how we apply agents across the stack to automate the staffing pipeline—and for how the team builds with AI-assisted tooling.

• Architect and lead core systems—from real-time matching to autonomous vetting pipelines powered by ML and agents.

• Own architecture for the platform, thinking ahead to what the company will need a year or two out.

• Drive backend performance, reliability, and scale.

• 7+ years with TypeScript/Node.js or Python, PostgreSQL, and messaging (Kafka or RabbitMQ).

• A track record of shipping and leading projects at scale with high velocity.

• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM systems in production is a plus—what matters most is the judgment to lead the team into it.

• Comfort owning ambiguity and direction in an early-stage environment.

The compensation range for this position is set between $240,000 and $300,000, reflecting our market analysis and other relevant considerations. However, exceptions may be made for candidates with qualifications that significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.
