About the role

About Toma

At Toma, we’re building something unorthodox—a fully AI-driven workforce for the $2T automotive space.

Our small team (from Scale AI/Uber, Braze, Columbia, Berkeley, and Waterloo) spent months living and breathing dealerships to learn the ropes.

We’ve built an in-house voice AI and agentic workflow orchestration platform, grown $100k ARR MoM purely through word-of-mouth, and raised capital from the best of the best investors in Silicon Valley on our way to create the world’s first “ghost dealerships.”

About this Role

We need a Product Engineer with experience building large-scale, high-concurrency AI applications at prominent (FAANG, unicorns, top startups) tech companies to build drop-in replacements for human automotive dealership employees, nothing crazy.

Responsibilities

  • Scoping complex solutions for applications that don’t really exist yet, like legacy dealership computer operators

  • Architecting, building, deploying, and helping maintain said solutions

  • Leading a team to deliver said solutions on a case-by-case basis

  • Traveling around the country with the team and doing discovery on both problems and solutions

  • Partnering with external vendors to integrate their tools into Toma

  • Optimizing our high performance, realtime applications

Required Qualifications

  • A track record of excellence throughout your career

  • Exceptional coding skills and the ability to ship high-quality code daily

  • Strong problem ownership and drive

  • Experience in planning, architecting, building, deploying, and maintaining applications at scale

  • Passion and guts for talking to (and getting roasted by) customers

  • Great understanding of operating systems and distributed systems

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency in TypeScript, Bun, low-level Node.js, T3 Stack (Next.js, React, Prisma, PostgreSQL, NextAuth, tRPC), Python

  • Experience with Figma and using best design practices

  • Experience in building LLM applications

  • Experience architecting high concurrency and throughput systems

  • Aptitude for prompt engineering

  • Former founding or critical leadership experience

Benefits

  • Free lunch in the office

  • Free gym membership

  • Free health and dental insurance

  • Free trips around the country for customer visits
