Role

Who you are

  • Voracious learner. You love diving into new areas and exploring new languages, databases, and technologies, and can discuss API design one minute and deployment infrastructure pipelines with tech leads the next
  • Value clear communication. You recognize the importance of clear communication, documented planning, and transparent, frequent feedback
  • Sweat the small stuff. You have strong opinions on design patterns, IDEs, tabs vs. spaces—you understand that how you do one thing is how you do everything, so you care about the details
  • Deep experience building distributed systems. You have designed and built performant, scalable applications, and have expertise in developing APIs, data modeling, optimizing database queries, and scaling distributed systems
  • 5+ years experience with Typescript/Node.js or Python, RabbitMQ or Kafka, and PostgreSQL or equivalent
  • A track record of shipping scalable distributed systems
  • Experience building APIs
  • Experience with Docker, Github Actions, and Datadog
  • Experience working in an early-stage engineering team, working through ambiguity, and being a self-starter
  • A passion for helping people find meaningful work that works for them

What the job involves

  • We are seeking an experienced & entrepreneurial senior backend engineer to join the founding team to help build our backend services and platform
  • You'll partner with our CTO to help make key architectural decisions, iterate on the roadmap, own product decisions, and architect & build our foundational tech platform to enable scaling over the next several years
  • Architect and lead the development of our applications, APIs, and distributed systems
  • Architect & document our tech platform and advise key product & infrastructure decisions
  • Implement our CI/CD workflows, using Docker & Github
  • Build analytics & monitoring to help understand our user experience & application health
  • Contribute in a ton of other ways to a scrappy founding team building the future of flexible light industrial staffing!

Our take

Traba aims to revolutionize the gig economy within the warehousing and events sector by addressing current shortcomings. While the gig economy has provided flexibility elsewhere, it has struggled in these industries, often leading to disengaged workers and exploitative practices.

Trada distinguishes itself by verifying worker credentials and setting a minimum wage to ensure fair compensation, which helps mitigate issues seen in other short-term staffing solutions. The platform offers benefits like instant pay-outs and automation features for invoicing and reporting, enhancing efficiency for both workers and employers.

With significant funding secured in 2022, Treaba plans to expand operations across the US, prioritizing states like Texas with robust light industry sectors. Future developments include enhancing the platform with new apps and tools to streamline communication and further improve user experience.
