About The Position
Traba is building an AI operating system for the industrial supply chain. The Senior Software Engineer (Applied AI) is a product-engineering role focused on applying frontier models and existing AI agents across Traba’s staffing marketplace and other product surfaces. The role helps automate the pipeline that sources, vets, matches, and places workers on shifts, as well as manual workflows for industrial businesses.

The engineer works across frontend, backend, and deployment infrastructure, with priorities that may include AI-driven vetting or matching, payments, or platform work. They partner with the CTO on architecture and roadmap, collaborate closely with product and design, and build systems and product surfaces used across the company.
