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 experienced and entrepreneurial full stack product engineer to join our founding team to help build our core suite of products—mobile apps for both workers & businesses, and web platforms for our business customers and internal Ops team. You'll work closely with our CTO to make key architectural decisions, iterate on the product roadmap, and build the foundational tech platform that will scale over the next several years. About You: - Voracious Learner: You love exploring new areas, technologies, languages, and frameworks. You can seamlessly switch between discussing API design, user experience, and deployment infrastructure. - Value Clear Communication: You prioritize clear communication, planning, and providing transparent, frequent feedback across the team. - Detail-Oriented: You care about the small details, whether it's design patterns or tabs vs. spaces, and understand how everything contributes to the larger success of the product. - Experienced in Building Full Stack Systems: You have a strong track record of building and shipping scalable, performant ap
