What is Trayd?

Trayd is a construction payroll platform and back office management system designed for same-day pay. We allow the 7M construction workers in the US to get access to their earned wages 7-10 days sooner than legacy payroll providers. With a unique spin on traditional payroll, Trayd is on a mission to create back office efficiencies for commercial subcontractors while simultaneously addressing the significant labor shortage affecting the $2.1TR North American construction industry. Trayd is based in New York and backed by Y Combinator.

The problem we're solving

As a B2B2C company, we are solving two major problems. Our dual-focus addresses both subcontractors and their workers. For subcontractors, we streamline back office tasks and incentivize the workforce to reduce turnover. For workers, we provide timely payment options, creating financial opportunity through access and control.

Responsibilities include:

• Own end-to-end implementation of projects including initial scoping of features, design of product, architecture of the database, and development of the final deliverable

• Engage directly with customers to gather feedback and shape product design.

• Collaborate with teammates across a wide range of functions including mentoring more junior engineers

• Ensure seamless integration with multiple third-party systems to deliver our robust fintech solutions.

  
  

Why you should join Trayd

Trayd is bigger than construction payroll. It's the promise that the hardest working people get access to their money, how and when they need it, creating greater financial wellness across the board. Not only that, we are pioneering digital cash access for a demographic traditionally overlooked while simultaneously modernizing operations in an industry that has been slow to adapt. The challenges and opportunities with Trayd are abundant, promising an engaging journey ahead.

Our organization is still incredibly small. The co-founders have been best friends since childhood, and we treat everyone we work with as part of our family. We value individuals who are proactive, big thinkers, and are driven towards building the future they want to see.
