Full Job Description
Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain. We started in workforce—temp staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve—and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships. But our edge is more than data: by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale. We are backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Senior Applied Agent Engineer to join as a founding member of the Agents team and help us 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. 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. ABOUT YOU - 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 terms of capability, reliability, and unit economics, not just “does the model say the right thing.” - Domain-immersed. You enjoy spending time with the people who actually do the work. You learn an industry's vocabulary, edge cases, and operatio
