Off the back of our Series-A in early 2024, Zuma is scaling rapidly. Achieving our vision requires a team of passionate, innovative individuals eager to leverage technology to redefine customer-business interactions. We’re on the hunt for exceptional talent ready to join our mission and contribute to building a groundbreaking technology that reshapes how businesses engage with customers.

As a Staff Engineer, you will:
Help define how humans collaborate with intelligent systems in one of the largest and most underserved industries in the world: property management.
You’ll shape the technical foundation of a platform that is not just supporting human workflows, but executing them autonomously through AI agents. This is a rare opportunity to influence how an entire industry evolves, building tools that transform repetitive operational tasks into seamless, intelligent experiences.
Your work will directly contribute to how trust is built between humans and machines, how operations scale without added headcount, and how residents and staff experience a new, AI-powered standard of service.
We’re not just building software we’re designing AI that people want to work with. Delightful, trustworthy, and deeply effective.
Join us to help lead the AI revolution in multifamily, drive meaningful real-world impact, and be part of reimagining what work can feel like when done side-by-side with intelligent agents.
You will be a cornerstone of our engineering organization, reporting to the VPE. This is a pivotal role where you’ll lead critical system rewrites, architect scalable foundations for our AI platform, and establish the technical standards that will shape our engineering culture for years to come.
You’ll work at the intersection of cutting-edge LLM technology and practical business applications, creating sophisticated systems that power our AI leasing agent while building self-serve experiences that enable rapid customer onboarding. As our first US-based engineer, you’ll bridge the gap between our product vision and technical implementation.
This role offers a rare opportunity to directly influence how we architect the next generation of our platform. You’ll tackle projects like rebuilding our onboarding/configuration system to be self-serve, creating robust analytics infrastructure to measure AI performance, and reimagining our integration framework to connect seamlessly with customer systems. Your work will significantly reduce manual engineering overhead while enabling rapid scaling of our customer base.
We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to help us bring that future to life.
This is not just another dev role. You’ll be hands-on shaping the technical DNA of Zuma. You’ll architect critical systems, tame legacy code, build net-new AI-powered experiences, and lay down the patterns future engineers will inherit. If you’re obsessed with building real products people use, especially products powered by LLMs, this might be your playground.
