Trautmann got his start at tabletop RPG company West End Games, helping to write and edit their popular ''Star Wars'' game for several years before that company went out of business in the late 90s. Trautmann then took a job at Microsoft, working for the division which would become Microsoft Game Studios, writing everything from web content to story bibles to in-game dialogue, including all of the incidental (non-cutscene) dialogue for the original ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved''; he also pushed for and edited ''The Fall of Reach'', which was a surprise success. Additionally, he did a great deal of work on the ''VideoGame/CrimsonSkies'' universe, and contributed to both ''VideoGame/Mechwarrior4'' and ''VideoGame/PerfectDarkZero''.

Post-Microsoft, he wrote the ''Perfect Dark: Janus' Tears'' limited series, then edited and lettered the ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'' graphic novel ''Dirty Money''. He also consulted with Epic Games to help write the ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' story bible.
Later, he would become a writer for Creator/DCComics, penning issues of ''Checkmate'' and ''Adventure Comics'' among others before moving to Creator/DynamiteComics and finding success with ''Red Sonja'' (becoming the longest-tenured writer on that series), then creating a new ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' title and the ''ComicBook/FlashGordonZeitgeist'' series.
In 2012, he co-wrote the PRISM-award winning graphic novel ''Shooters'' with Brandon Jerwa, with art by Steve Lieber, after which he was drafted by Rucka to help with worldbuilding and design on Rucka's upcoming series ''ComicBook/{{Lazarus}}''; this has led to him splitting his time between comic writing, and graphic design through his Fedora Monkey Studio.
