About the role
About Zuma
Zuma is pioneering the future of agentic AI and our focus is to transform the rental market experience for consumers and property manager alike. Our innovative platform is engineered from the ground up to boost operations efficiency and enhance support capabilities for property management business across the US and Canada, a ~$200B market.
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.
Zuma has raised over $17M in funding to date and has support from world-renowned investors, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Y Combinator, King River, Range Ventures, and distinguished angel investors like YC’s former COO, Qasar Younis.
The Role
As a Support Engineer at Zuma, you’ll be a bridge between our customers, engineering team, and product vision. You’ll ensure new customers onboard smoothly, integrations run reliably, and support operations scale as we grow. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves problem-solving, can dive into APIs and databases, and takes pride in clear documentation and communication. You’ll help property managers succeed with our AI platform while also driving continuous improvements in our internal tools and processes.

- Investigate and report on basic AI hallucination issues and knowledge base inconsistencies
- Collaborate with engineering to automate repetitive tasks and improve onboarding/support workflows
Skills & Experience
