(Our AI Agents team builds the agent platform; you apply it everywhere it creates leverage.) This is a product-engineering role first, so you'll go where the priorities are—some quarters that's an agent that automates vetting or matching, others it's a payments flow or platform work. You'll partner with our CTO on architecture and roadmap, and build the platform the rest of the company runs on.   **About You:** - **An applier, not a researcher.** You take frontier models and existing agents and wire them into real product across the stack—shipping reliable automation rather than owning the orchestration internals. And you don't need every task to be an AI task: you take the highest-priority problem, model or not. - **Voracious learner.** You move easily between API design, UX, and deployment infrastructure. - **Proven full-stack builder.** You have a track record of shipping scalable, performant applications from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems.   **You Will:** - Apply existing agents and frontier models across the stack—worker app, business app, ops platform, marketplace—to automate vetting, matching, and fulfillment. - Lead frontend and backend development, mentoring other engineers. - Architect and build core systems—real-time matching, autonomous vetting pipelines, distributed systems, and APIs. - Own product surfaces end to end, partnering closely with product and design.   **You Have:** - 5+ years across frontend and backend: TypeScript, React/React Native, and Node.js or Python. - Strong with APIs, distributed systems, PostgreSQL, and messaging (Kafka or RabbitMQ). - Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or agents into real product—prompting, tool wiring, evals. You've shipped AI features, even if you didn't build the platform. - A track record of shipping scalable products in fast, ambiguous, early-stage environments.   **Benefits:** - 📈 Start-up equity - 💰 Competitive Salary - 🩺 100% Paid health, dental & vision coverage - 🍽️ Dinner Provided via DoorDash, free DashPass & stocked kitchen for NY employees - 🚍 Commuter benefit - 🏋🏽 Gympass Benefit - ✚✚ Additional: One Medical Membership, Gympass, HSA via Optum, Talkspace, HealthAdvocate, Teledoc Health   ## **Salary Range Details** 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.   ## **Equal Opportunity Employer** Traba is dedicated to promoting Equal Opportunity employment practices.

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. **Customer Obsession -** We go the extra mile for our workers and businesses.
