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.

  • Configure and manage backend feature flags for customers
  • Ensure API integrations between Zuma and property management systems (PMS) / CRMs are set up and fully functional

  • Debug existing integration issues when regressions occur
  • Investigate and report on basic AI hallucination issues and knowledge base inconsistencies
