The company matches and deploys workers into warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and is now expanding into broader operational workflows. Backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
You will own the staffing product at the center of Traba's marketplace, balancing the needs of enterprise customers (distribution centers, manufacturing lines) and workers. You'll architect product strategy across critical staffing and marketplace workflows, solve complex two-sided marketplace problems, and translate operational complexity into scalable product systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Architecting and stewarding product strategy across staffing and marketplace workflows
- Solving complex marketplace problems by balancing customer needs, operational realities, and business outcomes
- Writing detailed product requirements and partnering with engineering teams
- Building systems that improve marketplace liquidity, fulfillment, matching quality, and operational efficiency
- Using data to uncover patterns and answer critical marketplace questions
- Designing smart internal tooling and technical solutions to scale operations
- Launching and iterating products across customers, regions, and operational environments
- Communicating complex ideas and synthesizing stakeholder feedback across all levels
You'll collaborate with software engineers, product designers, data analysts, other product managers, operations, and field teams. This role reports directly to the VP of Product.

- 3–5 years of experience as a Product Manager
- Evidence of shipping products that materially moved business outcomes
- Strong experience in two-sided marketplaces with real supply and demand dynamics
- Experience building enterprise products with multi-stakeholder customers and complex operational environments
- Experience building internal operational tooling or systems that supported real business execution
- Strong technical fluency and ability to work deeply with engineering teams
- Experience operating in startup environments where speed and ownership matter
- Desire to work at a startup and cover an exceptionally wide surface area
- Strong work ethic and desire to build a category-defining company
Desired traits: customer-obsessed (spending time on-site with users on both sides of the marketplace), AI-native operator (changed how you work because of AI, prototypes before specs, builds internal agents), marketplace operator (understands liquidity, matching, incentives, fulfillment, trust), enterprise B2B muscle (navigates complex customers with multiple stakeholders and long sales cycles), first-principles thinker, operations systems builder, builder mentality (inventive, scrappy, moves quickly), deeply collaborative across functions.
