Staff Software Engineer/Lead, Product
We're building the AI platform for underserved industries.
LLM usage has seen a meteoric rise in the past year, but there is still a significant gap between agentic innovation and its use in the real world. This is especially true for underserved industries like automotive and healthcare, where outdated systems persist due to barriers to entry, legacy software, and high-stakes consequences of hallucinations and failure.
Here at Toma (YC W24), we are bridging this gap by providing a customer-centric platform to deploy and monitor AI agents, even for non-technical users. We recently raised a $17M Series A from a16z and are building the future of human-AI interactions, starting in the automotive industry.
Our Team
We’re assembling a team of Avengers: engineers, product managers, former founders, athletes, and leaders from Scale AI, Uber, Braze, Microsoft, Amazon, and more. We consider everyone regardless of their backgrounds or identities. Learn more about us here.
About this Role
We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead our Product pod, the team responsible for everything users touch, from our real-time voice AI dashboard to the systems that power high-throughput streaming and in-house tooling.
You’ll own the technical direction of the pod, mentor other engineers, and partner closely with product and design to deliver fast, reliable, and magical user experiences. This role is deeply hands-on. You’ll be writing and reviewing code daily, shaping architecture, and helping scale our platform as we grow.
What you will do
Lead the architecture, implementation, and delivery of user-facing products (dashboard, real-time voice AI, support tooling)
Write high-quality, production-grade TypeScript across the stack (Next.js, Bun)
Mentor and guide engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical planning
Collaborate directly with Product and Design to align on priorities and execute quickly
Partner with other pods to integrate intelligent features into the product experience
Drive engineering velocity while maintaining reliability and system health
Work closely with customers to translate their feedback into scalable product improvements
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in TypeScript, low-level Node.js (Bun), T3 Stack (Next.js, React, Prisma, PostgreSQL, NextAuth, tRPC)
6+ years of experience building and scaling full-stack web applications
Experience leading projects or teams in fast-paced environments
Care about craft and speed (you can move quickly without compromising on quality)
Desire to continuously learn
Don’t think you meet all the qualifications? Apply anyway. We’d love to hear what excites you about us, and we may have a role that's a good fit for you.
Benefits
Competitive salary with meaningful equity
Free health, dental, and vision insurance
Free in-office lunch and dinners
Unlimited PTO
