Tram Case | Hiring Tech Lead, Backend, Full Stack & AI Engineers | Remote (LATAM Latin America Only) (Spanish & English required)

We’re building AI-powered tools to help law firms work faster, smarter, and with less busywork.

Our first module is an AI call center that transcribes and classifies calls to help teams prioritize urgent cases. But that’s just one part — we’re building an end-to-end platform that automates the entire case lifecycle, from intake to resolution.

We’re a small, senior team based in LATAM. You’ll be working directly with the founders and building features from scratch. No layers of approval, no legacy code — just thoughtful product work, shipped fast.

If you're excited about solving real problems, working closely with strong engineers, and being part of something early (but real), we’d love to hear from you.

Our tech stack is: Python, Javascript/TypeScript, and ML/AI pipelines in AWS.

I started a major rewrite for a Rails App that I'm converting to Rails API + Ember with Ember Data. Yeah, the learning curve has been huge and Ember Data pretty much didn't help things. But, I've stuck with it and everytime I struggle with something (happened first with routing nested resources - still feels a bit magic sometimes), I take a step back and look at the Ember way of doing things and I usually become enlightened with the very well thought out decisions.

For those of you struggling with Ember Data - this is your best friend - https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/TRANSITION.md probably the best documentation on the matter. If you got Active Model Serializers, use the right serializer on Ember data side to get going.

IF you're using Ember Rails - be sure to check that it's pulling the latest Ember Data.

I like that there are more tutorials and demos coming out but seriously, we need some more non-trivial UI examples. Maybe after my project I'll write up a blog post if anyone here is interested.

Ember Data is a heavy hard-hat area and no wonder you were frustrated. Really, just start with your own data layer and get used to Ember first. Ember has a very Rails-ish philosophy and just like in the Rails world - magic happens (but ya should know how it happens anyways). This blog post is a good intro to how Ember works - http://trek.github.com/ (though routing has come a long way since - http://emberjs.com/guides/routing/defining-your-routes/

+1 - I've been following the Ember progress and have been blown away with the progress made last year. It's the most mature UI friendly framework for frontend out there. Fwiw, this (slightly outdated router code but a good philosophical intro) post is super useful for diving into Ember - http://trek.github.com/

it wouldn't matter as much. if your primary app and workers via Heroku is down (which presumably are the ones using the add-ons) none of the end users are going to notice the add-ons being down.

Here's an under rated reason - a night owl's schedule! Tech startup founders and early teams get most of their shit done at night when there are fewer or no distractions. When you're on this schedule, the city life is much more accommodating in terms of food, socialization, etc. Then suddenly, dinner time is suddenly like lunch time.

It'd be nice to be able fork or even comment the API docs as a developer using the API. Tooo many times I googled for an answer that the API docs neglect and found the answer instead on StackOverflow. If I had a facebook credit for every time I found the answer I was looking for with facebook's API docs, I'd be pretty poor :-p

I wouldn't hold my breath. Did you really expect the former President of fb (and Co-founder of Causes - also, fb login) to have a non-fb signup flow :-p ?

After we got hosed by Paypal, I was crying over alternative solutions for creating an escrow solution for our marketplace. These guys saved us a lot of headaches dealing with escrow and helped us get setup at 2 A.M! I was a bit disappointed when the entire setup from registration to implementation to getting paid only took 15 minutes (translation: I was absurdly happy it was working so quickly). I spent the rest of the night removing my ugly ole paypal implementation.

That and their client libraries make it stupidly easy to get setup! Highly recommend it for marketplace startups!
