> Build Traba's applied AI product by integrating frontier models and agents into full-stack features that automate staffing workflows like vetting, matching, and fulfillment. 5+ years full-stack experience (TypeScript/React/Node or Python) plus hands-on LLM/agent integration required; lead development and architecture in a fast-paced startup.
## 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.
- Lead frontend and backend development, mentoring other engineers.
- Architect and build core systems including real-time matching, autonomous vetting pipelines, distributed systems, and APIs.
- Own product surfaces end to end, partnering closely with product and design.
- Take frontier models and existing agents and wire them into real product across the stack, shipping reliable automation.
- Go where the priorities are—some quarters building an agent that automates vetting or matching, others a payments flow or platform work.
- Partner with CTO on architecture and roadmap.

## Requirements
- 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. Shipped AI features, even if you didn't build the platform.
- Track record of shipping scalable products in fast, ambiguous, early-stage environments.
- Voracious learner who moves easily between API design, UX, and deployment infrastructure.
- Proven full-stack builder with a track record of shipping scalable, performant applications from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems.
- Applier, not a researcher: focus on wiring models into real product rather than owning orchestration internals.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience in early-stage startup environments.

## Compensation
- Competitive salary in the range of $200,000 - $240,000.
