About the role

Responsibilities

  • Architect Traba's agent platform end-to-end: orchestration runtime, eval and observability stack, integration layer to internal and customer systems (WMS/TMS/ERP), and patterns every agent is built on.
  • Own foundational technical decisions: model strategy, harness design, retrieval and memory architecture, tool/MCP surface, and quality measurement.
  • Spend time in the field with customers and operators, translating observations into durable product and repeatable deployment patterns.
  • Build evaluation as an engineering discipline: datasets, graders, regression suites, and experimentation tooling.
  • Hire and mentor engineers; set the standard for quality.
  • Partner with CTO, product, and ops leadership on the multi-year platform roadmap.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years of hands-on production work on LLM- or agent-based systems.
  • Deep expertise in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js.
  • Track record designing distributed systems, APIs, and data models on PostgreSQL and modern messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated ownership of a non-trivial production agent system: orchestration, tool use, retrieval, evals, observability, and cost/latency tuning.
  • Background in vertical AI / AI-agent company, forward-deployed engineering role, or AI-native data company.
  • History of leading 0-to-1 builds in early-stage environments with high agency.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Supply chain, logistics, or industrial exposure.
  • Experience with WMS quirks, shift cadence, exception handling.
