ABOUT TRAFASA

Trafasa is an early-stage technology company building an AI-enabled enterprise procurement and commerce platform.
We are looking for an exceptional hands-on technology professional who wants to do more than maintain an existing product.
You will help BUILD the product.

This is an prospect for someone who enjoys turning business problems into working software, wants significant technology ownership, and is excited by the possibility of growing with the company as our product, customers and engineering organisation scale.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Lead Engineer – AI & Product Engineering who can work closely with the founders and take hands-on ownership of product engineering and technology execution.
This is NOT a pure people-management, project-management or enterprise-architecture position.




You should still enjoy writing code, building prototypes, designing systems, integrating APIs, deploying applications and solving difficult production problems yourself.
Initially, the engineering team will be small. We therefore need someone comfortable moving between architecture and implementation rather than depending on large specialised teams.
As Trafasa grows, the role can evolve into broader engineering and technology leadership.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Work closely with the founders to translate business requirements into product and technology solutions.
• Architect and personally contribute to the development of Trafasa's core platform.
• Build scalable backend services, APIs, workflows, integrations and data models.
• Design and implement AI-enabled product capabilities using LLMs where they create genuine business value.
• Build capabilities involving RAG, enterprise search, document intelligence,
