WHY TOMA

• We don’t sell SaaS widgets. We replace entire dealership departments with AI agents that talk, reason, and do real work—24/7.
• Zero proxy to the customer. Everyone on our team travels to customers: racing a Range Rover on I‑55 in Mississippi, wrenching under an F‑150 lift in Texas, or shadowing a finance manager in Detroit. You’ll feel the latency you’re optimizing.
• Tiny team, giant surface area. Toma is <15 people today, >$100 K new ARR every month, and backed by a16z and Y Combinator.
• Massive underserved industry. We are tackling a $2 trillion market with incumbents generating over $1 billion in annual revenue from legacy software.
• Unrivaled autonomy. You’ll report to the CTO, drive the roadmap, veto features, and green‑light bets. No “ex‑Google committee” to slow you down.

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 in architecting high-concurrency and throughput systems
• Aptitude for prompt engineering
• Former founding or critical leadership experience

• 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
