from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Files H-1B transfers
7 transfer filings in the last year, covering 7 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- We started by tackling labor, supplying industrial businesses with consistent, reliable temporary workforces, and quickly became the fastest growing staffing company in America.
- We're proud to be backed by some of the world's best investors, including Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
- ABOUT YOU - You've built agents that survived contact with reality.
Responsibilities
- Traba is building the AI operating system for the industrial supply chain - the network of warehouses, manufacturers, logistics providers, and workers behind the physical goods people rely on every day.
- You'll build the AI agents themselves-the harnesses, evals, orchestration, and model strategy the rest of Traba's product runs on.
Nice to have
- You've built agents that survived contact with reality.
- Domain depth meets technical breadth.
- Set direction by shipping.
- You raise the bar by writing the canonical example, not just the doc-picking the foundational tools, integrating the right model providers, designing the eval infrastructure, and bringing others along.
- Sweat the small stuff at staff scale.
- You have strong opinions on eval datasets, prompt versioning, observability for agents, and the line between a clean abstraction and an over-engineered one.
- Architect Traba's agent platform end-to-end-orchestration runtime, eval and observability stack, the integration layer to internal and customer systems (WMS/TMS/ERP), and the patterns every agent is built on.
- 7+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on production work on LLM- or agent-based systems.
Compensation
- The compensation range for this position is set between $240,000 and $300,000, reflecting our market analysis and other relevant considerations.
