> Build Traba's AI-powered staffing product by applying frontier models and agents to automate worker sourcing, vetting, matching, and placement. Product-engineering role writing code across React Native, React/TypeScript, and Node.js/PostgreSQL while owning roadmap priorities in an early-stage environment.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Apply existing agents and frontier models across the stack (worker app, business app, ops platform, marketplace) to automate vetting, matching, and fulfillment.
- Write and review high-quality code across React Native app, React/TypeScript web apps, and Node.js/PostgreSQL APIs.
- Architect core systems—from real-time matching to autonomous worker-vetting pipelines powered by ML and agents.
- Partner with design to ship polished, intuitive UIs.
- Go where product priorities are: some weeks wiring up an agent for automation, others building payments flows or UI.

## Requirements
- 1+ years with TypeScript, React/React Native, Node.js, and/or PostgreSQL.
- Experience integrating LLMs or agents into real product (prompting, tool wiring) or a clear drive to learn.
- Comfort in an early-stage team: ambiguity, self-direction, and fast iteration.
- Strong front-end chops with experience or desire to learn React Native; love building performant apps.
- Voracious learner who can explore new languages/frameworks and discuss product with designers or infrastructure with tech leads.
- Applier, not a researcher: focus on shipping reliable automation using frontier models and agents across the product stack; willing to tackle highest-priority problems whether AI-related or not.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience building on top of AI agents in a staffing marketplace or similar domain.
- Ability to own product decisions and partner with CTO on roadmap.
