Traza

Hiring outlook

Very High. Press release explicitly states capital will be used to grow the engineering team and deepen co-design partnerships with US enterprises. One live role: Founding GTM Engineer, Madrid-based.

Working at Traza

Founded in , Traza is AI workers that run the full procurement lifecycle for industrial enterprises. They're now people. For a AI company this size, the reality is opportunity to shape your role based on the company stage.

The majority of roles are in New York.

Why applying the normal way doesn't work

Traza runs an applicant tracking system, but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Traza isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.

What to show them

Traza's product requires agentic systems that execute multi-step procurement workflows inside live ERP environments. That means LLM orchestration, tool use, exception handling, and deterministic execution where human approval is required. As the customer base grows, the engineering team needs to scale. Silvestre has explicitly named engineering as a primary use of capital. Core skills: Python, LLM agent orchestration (LangGraph, LlamaIndex or equivalent), API integrations with ERP systems (SAP/Oracle/NetSuite experience a strong advantage), async task execution, workflow state management. Proof of work: Build a minimal working procurement agent that can parse a mock RFQ document, select from a list of suppliers based on criteria, and output a structured decision with an audit trail. Publish the code. A README explaining your design decisions on exception handling is the proof that you think about this the right way.

What Traza screens for

Base10 Partners is the most important signal here. Base10's thesis is the automation of the Real Economy: physical industries, hourly workers, and the operational infrastructure of American commerce. Their portfolio includes Notion, Figma, Nubank, and Aurora Solar. When Base10 leads a pre-seed in procurement automation, they are not making a speculative bet. They are making a category call. Their portfolio companies at this stage are typically pushed hard on enterprise GTM and on integrations that create sticky, operationally embedded products. That means the first hires are commercial and engineering: GTM leads who can navigate enterprise procurement buying cycles, and engineers who can deepen integrations into ERP and supply chain systems. The Pepe Agell angel investment adds a specific credibility signal. Agell built Chartboost to $100M+ in revenue in under three years as a Spanish founder in Silicon Valley. He is an explicit bet on the pattern: European technical founder, US market, hard operational problem, capital-efficient execution. The funding announcement explicitly states: "grow the engineering team and deepen co-design partnerships with world-class enterprises across the United States."

Traza take-home assignment

Traza includes a take-home exercise in their interview process. For AI roles, this typically involves a practical problem that takes 2-4 hours. Focus on clean, working code over premature optimization. They're evaluating how you think and communicate, not just the solution.
