Job description

About Traba Traba is building the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain.

We started in the workforce space because contingent labor is the biggest operational pain point our manufacturing and logistics customers face. We used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology. Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities. That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships.

But our edge is more than data. By connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale.

We are backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and experienced Product Manager to join as a founding member of the Agents team and help us build the next layer of Traba's product, an agentic platform that synthesizes the data flowing through our marketplace and operates autonomously inside our customers' supply chain workflows. Think Claude, but for Light Industrial businesses.

You'll embed deeply in our customers' operations, design and ship production agents that understand context, reason through ambiguity, make decisions, and execute work on behalf of users. This is a true 0-to-1 product role operating at the frontier of applied AI.

You will work directly with founders, product engineers, ML teams, and early design partners to define workflows, shape product strategy, and build products while the underlying model ecosystem continues changing beneath us. Architect and steward product strategy for Traba’s AI agent platform

You have launched customer-facing AI products where the system took meaningful actions on behalf of users. Shipping AI features, copilots, chat interfaces, wrappers, or lightweight LLM integrations alone is not enough.

Experience with forward deployed environments or customer-embedded product development models is highly valued.

You are comfortable operating alongside ML engineers and highly technical teams as peers. You work seamlessly across engineering, ML, operations, design, leadership, and customers to bring new products to life.
