Software Engineer (Forward-Deployed)
Why Toma
Toma is the automotive industry’s leading agentic AI workforce, starting with voice AI agents for sales and service call operations. Our voice AI product, built entirely in-house with cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), reaches millions of vehicle owners each month. As the darling startup in the automotive space, we have recently raised our Series A with Andreessen Horowitz and Y Combinator, and are rapidly expanding our customer base.
We’re a small team of former founders, athletes, and leaders from Scale AI, Uber, Braze, Microsoft, Amazon, Columbia, and acquired companies in the automotive industry who simply love winning. Autonomy is not recommended, but a table-stakes requirement, and we work very hard to maintain our lead. Our team is hybrid, with our headquarters in a brand-new two-story office in Potrero Hill, San Francisco.
Our team and product remain lean because we are incredibly customer-oriented: we frequently travel the country to meet with and learn from our customers. To this day, most of our customers have been referred to us through word of mouth. With our unique advantage and fast momentum in this $2 trillion market, we are poised to take Toma to the next level.
