What is Trayd?

US Construction is a $1.4T industry ridden with crappy software and manual processes. Trayd is a construction payroll and back office platform designed for specialty contractors and their workforce. We automate tedious everyday tasks, eliminating over 100 hours a month of paper pushing and data reconciliation across siloed platforms. Our application is the all‑in‑one back‑office platform covering payroll, scheduling, HR, accounting, and certifications - a $6+ billion annual opportunity.

Trayd has raised $4.5M from world class investors like Suffolk Technologies, Bloomberg Beta, and Y Combinator. Come join us!

Trayd operates in‑person five days a week in Soho, Manhattan and this role will report directly to the CTO.

What You’ll Work On:

• Own end‑to‑end implementation of projects including initial scoping of features, design of product, architecture of the database, and development of the final deliverable
• Engage directly with customers to gather feedback and shape product design
• Collaborate with teammates across a wide range of functions including mentoring more junior engineers
• Ensure seamless integration with multiple third‑party systems to deliver our robust fintech solutions

• Experience architecting backend systems, modeling complex data structures, and executing secure migrations with sensitive data

Attributes

• Self‑starter who thrives in autonomy, ambiguity, and can adapt to changing priorities
• Team player with a collaborative mindset who helps up‑level their peers
• Wear as many hats as needed to drive solutions forward and unblock the team
• Detail‑oriented with a commitment to accuracy given the nature of payroll

Bonus

• Previous experience working in a fast‑paced startup environment
• Familiarity with fintech, especially payroll
