Staff Software Engineer

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 real time in the field with customers and operators—translating observations into durable product and repeatable deployment patterns
• Build evaluation as a real engineering discipline: datasets, graders, regression suites, and experimentation tooling
• Hire and mentor engineers who build alongside you and set the standard for what “good” looks like
• Partner with the CTO, product, and ops leadership on the multi-year platform roadmap

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on production work on LLM- or agent-based systems
• Deep experience 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 that maps to at least one of: vertical AI / AI-agent company, a forward-deployed engineering role, or an AI-native data company
• History of leading 0-to-1 builds in early-stage environments—comfortable with ambiguity and high-agency by default
• Strong written and verbal communication—you can run a customer workshop, write the design doc, and recruit future teammates

Nice-to-Haves

• Bonus for supply chain, logistics, or industrial exposure
