Founding Engineer

hace 2 semanas

Madrid, Madrid, España Traza A tiempo completo

About Us:

A massive share of the world's GDP still depends on manual, inefficient operations.
Traza
is here to transform it.

We build 24/7 AI Operators for the critical industries that never sleep, rewiring how the real economy runs. Backed by top-tier investors from Silicon Valley, we're defining a new category and reshaping a major slice of global productivity.

We want the best. Builders who want their work to move the world.

About the Role:

You'll build the core of our platform - infra, backend, data pipelines, and the systems that power our AI Operators. You'll work across AI and engineering to design, scale, and harden a platform capable of running thousands of concurrent agents executing diverse, mission-critical tasks.

As a founding engineer, you'll own major product decisions, shape the technical direction, and play a central role in Traza's success. This is real ownership, real impact, and real responsibility from day one.

What We Are Looking for:

We're looking for extraordinary talent-people who do their best work when the problems are hard, the context is scarce, and the pace is unforgiving. There's no playbook here. You'll help write it. We want individuals driven by extreme ownership and rapid growth, ready to push past existing boundaries and reinvent how critical industries operate. If you want to build what doesn't exist yet -and change the way the real economy runs- you're who we're looking for.

Requirements:

Technical Experience

  • 5+ years shipping production backend systems, with demonstrated ownership of services handling high-throughput workloads
  • Deep expertise in
    Python
    (async patterns, type hints, Pydantic) and familiarity with systems languages (Go, Rust)
  • Strong API design skills: RESTful patterns, versioning strategies, cursor/offset pagination, idempotency.
  • Experience with
    PostgreSQL
    at scale: query optimization, connection pooling, indexing strategies, and migrations
  • Hands-on with
    Redis
    beyond caching: job queues (ARQ, Celery, or similar), pub/sub, rate limiting
  • Real-time streaming architectures (SSE, WebSockets) for AI inference

Infrastructure & DevOps

  • Production experience with
    Terraform
    or equivalent IaC
  • Container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and PaaS deployments (Railway, Render, )
  • CI/CD pipeline design with progressive rollouts
  • Observability stack: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics (Langfuse & Datadog experience a plus)
  • On-premise deployment
    experience for enterprise customers

Architecture & Scaling

  • Experience designing systems for 10x-100x growth: horizontal scaling, sharding, read replicas
  • Background job architectures: queue depth management, worker scaling, failure handling
  • Multi-tenant SaaS patterns: data isolation, rate limiting, tenant-aware routing
  • Database performance tuning for write-heavy workloads (bulk operations, COPY, batching)

Mindset & Culture

  • Extreme ownership: you see problems through from detection to resolution to prevention
  • Startup velocity: comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and wearing multiple hats

Nice to Have

  • AI voice/communications knowledge (Twilio, Retell)
  • Third-party integrations (OAuth flows, webhooks)

What do we Offer?

  • Join as the first hire at a high-ambition startup backed by top-tier investors from Silicon Valley.
  • Ownership, autonomy, and a direct hand in shaping Traza's future.
  • Strong compensation package: competitive salary plus meaningful equity.
  • A high-growth environment surrounded by top engineering talent.
