About this role

Based in New York City, NY, the Senior Software Engineer (AI Agents) role at Traba involves designing and building the agentic platform that automates industrial supply chain workflows. This position is well-suited for an entrepreneurial builder with software and LLM experience who thrives in an ambiguous, high-agency environment.

Role Overview

Traba is seeking a founding member for its Agents team to construct the underlying infrastructure, harnesses, evaluations, orchestration, and model strategy for its product suite. Working closely with the CTO, product managers, and internal operators, the person in this role will turn zero-to-one ideas into scaled production deployments that operate autonomously inside customer supply chain workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Embed directly with customers and operators to understand supply chain operations and design agents that automate manual tasks.
Build production agent systems on frontier LLMs utilizing tool use, sub-agents, retrieval, structured outputs, MCP servers, and orchestration.
Establish evaluation as a core discipline by creating datasets from real traces, building rubrics and graders, running experiments, and measuring improvements.
Architect the backend data, services, and APIs required for the agent layer, integrating internal systems with customer WMS, TMS, and ERP environments.
Codify repeatable deployment patterns to streamline and accelerate future customer rollouts.

Requirements

Bring at least 5 years of total software engineering experience, including a minimum of 1 year shipping LLM- or agent-based features into production.
Demonstrate strength in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js, alongside experience designing APIs, distributed systems, and PostgreSQL data models.
Possess hands-on familiarity with the modern agent stack, covering production prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, orchestration patterns, and frontier model APIs.
Show a proven history of building in rapid, ambiguous environments, ideally within vertical AI, AI-agent, forward-deployed, or data-product companies.
Exhibit strong written and verbal communication skills for conducting customer workshops and authoring design documentation.
