Who you are

You don’t need to be passionate about a long-term career in sales — but you do need to be excited about Traba’s mission, embrace spending at least a year in sales, and be deeply curious about understanding our customers
First and foremost we are seeking someone who is enthusiastic, excited about start-ups, and eager for a chance to grow
We are looking for people who want to help us build something special
Entrepreneurial – You have a bias towards action, an ownership mentality and are able to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly changing work environment
Ambitious - You are always pushing yourself to be the best that you can be. You want to work at a company that will be bigger than Uber/Doordash/Airbnb
Gritty - Willingness to roll up your sleeves and do whatever it takes to hit your goals; you persevere when others fall away. Like all Traba employees, you are willing to make sacrifices and go the extra mile every day in order to build something great
A Relationship-builder – You can make friends with a brick wall and know how to develop long term partnerships. You represent Traba’s brand externally with clients and the community
A Reader - You love a good job description and have even read this bullet point and laughed a little - but also have done your research into who Traba is
Summer 2026 Graduate - Summer start date dependent on graduation timeline

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 and 2023, Treaba is in the midst of expanding it 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.
