From Traba's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
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 Senior AI Agent Engineer to join as a founding member of the Agents team and build the next layer of Traba's product—an agentic platform that synthesizes the data flowing through our marketplace and operates autonomously inside our customers' supply chain workflows.
(Our Applied AI team puts these agents to work across the product; you own the agents and infrastructure they depend on.) You'll embed deeply in our customers' operations, design and ship production agent harnesses on top of frontier models, and turn what you learn in the field into durable product. You will partner closely with our CTO, product, and our operators to take 0-to-1 ideas to scaled deployments.
Builder with an AI operator's instinct.
You've shipped real product on top of LLMs—not just chat wrappers. You've designed agent harnesses, structured tools, written evals, and tuned prompts against production traces. You think in capability, reliability, and unit economics—not just whether the model says the right thing.
Domain-immersed.
You enjoy time with the people who do the work—learning an industry's vocabulary, edge cases, and operational tempo—and let that shape what you build.
High-agency in ambiguity.
Dropped into a fuzzy customer problem with a half-formed hypothesis and a deadline, you scope, build, evaluate, and ship without waiting for a spec.
Sweat both ends of the stack.
You move between prompt iteration, eval design, backend services, and customer-facing UI in the same week, and you care about evals that catch regressions and traces that are easy to debug.
Compensation
The compensation range for this position is set between $200,000 and $240,000, 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.

Our Values
Dream Big -
We are on a path to change the world for the better. We create and communicate a bold direction that inspires a life-changing vision. We don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.
Olympian’s Work Ethic -
Changing the world never comes easy. We work harder, longer, and smarter, not just two out of three. We put everything we have on the field.
Growth Mindset -
We confront the toughest challenges head-on and persevere. Sometimes we fail, but we brush ourselves off, adapt, learn, and push forward with resilience.
