Software Engineer (Generalist)

Experienced & Entrepreneurial Full-Stack Product Engineer

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 & entrepreneurial full-stack product engineer to join the founding team to help build our core suite of products—the React Native worker mobile app, the React/Node.js business web app, and a React/Node.js tools platform for our ops team. You'll partner with our CTO to help provide key input on the product roadmap, own product decisions, and build our foundational tech platform.

About You:

• Voracious learner. You love diving into new areas and exploring new languages, frameworks, and technologies, and can discuss product with a UX designer one minute and deployment infrastructure with tech leads the next.
• Value clear communication. You recognize the importance of clear communication, documented planning, and transparent, frequent feedback.
• Sweat the small stuff. You have strong opinions on design patterns, IDEs, tabs vs. spaces—you understand that how you do one thing is how you do everything, so you care about the details.
• Experience with or desire to learn React Native. You have the front-end chops to build beautiful performant apps and love creating products that delight users.

You Will:

• Write & review high quality, performant code for our React Native mobile app, React/Typescript web apps, and Node.js/PostgreSQL APIs
• Architect the development of our core systems—from real-time job matching algorithms to autonomous worker vetting pipelines powered by ML and AI agents.
• Collaborate with designers to implement pixel-perfect, eye-pleasing UIs
• Implement our CI/CD workflows, using Docker & Github Actions
• Add analytics & monitoring to help understand our user experience & application health
• Contribute in a ton of other ways to a scrappy founding team building the future of flexible light industrial staffing!

You Have:

• 3+ years experience with Typescript, Javascript, React Native, React, Node.js, and/or PostgreSQL
• Experience with Docker
• Experience working in an early-stage engineering team, working through ambiguity, and being a self-starter
• A passion for helping people find meaningful work that works for them

Benefits:

• Start-up equity
• Competitive salary
• 100% paid health, dental & vision coverage
• Dinner provided via DoorDash, free DashPass & stocked kitchen for NY employees
