About Tray.ai

Tray.ai is the creator of Merlin Agent Builder - the fastest way to build and deploy high value AI agents without constraints. Built on our composable AI integration platform, it combines connectivity, data integration, governance, and scalability so enterprises can run AI agents across their entire stack.

We're solving one of the biggest challenges in the AI era: how to move beyond isolated AI features to orchestrated AI that works everywhere it's needed. Our customers use the Tray platform to integrate and automate their most critical processes, deploy production ready agents in weeks instead of months, and keep governance and security under control at scale.

Your Mission

The challenge we are focussed on: most organizations have AI capabilities scattered across different systems with no seamless way to orchestrate them. We're building the platform that enables AI agents work across an organisations entire stack with governance and integration built in. At Tray.ai, you'll tackle problems that have real impact and are looking for engineers who love digging into complex problems, care about shipping a product quickly, and want to see their work have real impact.

The Role

As part of our Applications Engineering team, you'll help build the product that customers interact with every day. This means solving the problems that help our customers succeed with Tray, from their first workflow to running extensive automated processes and AI agents in production. You'll work on making complex integration and automation feel intuitive, reliable, and powerful. You'll be working with a team that solves problems, cares about quality through test automation, and ships frequently. Together, you'll be a part of a team that owns and shapes the Tray application

What you will do

Work closely with other engineers, product, and business teams to deliver new and updated features that are high quality and loved by our customers.

Work closely with our Product team to deliver a user experience that is accessible, consistent, and easy to use.

Build prototypes and build iterative features from the ground up.

Lead technical and product discussions to ensure a safe but pragmatic engineering approach to customer problems.

Recent projects our engineers have worked on, for example:

• Launched Merlin Agent Builder, a super smooth experience to get up and running with AI agents. This project encompasses our front end, back end and ai engineers working closely with our product and UX teams, as well as customer success. This has been a long running, greenfield project that lives inside our legacy codebase. Some particular callouts from the front end side, have been:
  • Prototyping and creating proof of concepts to help explore and validate ideas
  • Juggling priorities as excitement for new features meets technical challenges
  • Working to understand new AI concepts to help shape the vision of the product
  • Working to champion best practises in new features, while maintaining and improving existing code patterns.
• Upgrading our NX architecture to reduce tech debt, and improve developer experience
  • Consolidating configuration across 100+ libraries through centralised NX plugins
  • Enforcing module boundaries to prevent circular dependencies
  • Migrating to type first organisation to ensure clean separation between API clients, utilities, and UI components

About You

Strong frontend engineering skills with experience working on React, JavaScript/Typescript applications, and large-scale codebases.

Experience with writing and owning test automation for the frontend (we use Jest, Playwright for E2E testing).

Experience working in flexible environments, balancing priorities and explaining technical detail.

Experience working with multiple stakeholders (design, product, internal customers) to iterate toward ideas.

Good knowledge and demonstrable experience with CI/CD pipelines (we use GitHub Actions).

Your team will fully support you to do your best work

The heart of Tray is made of generosity and trust. It is a community built on individual interactions between people who think differently; who are always available to help, to answer questions, and to empower. You'll have endless opportunities to learn and grow in a fun, fast paced, and open environment. We love to achieve things that haven't been done before.

We believe in diversity and equal opportunity

We believe that in building diversity, we build strength. We encourage all to apply, and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. We will ensure that people with disabilities are reasonably accommodated to participate in the job application or interview process.
