Zūm | Senior/Staff Software Engineer | Hybrid/onsite (Redwood City, CA), Full-time Zūm (ridezum.com) is reinventing K-12 student transportation in the U.S. — a $30B+ industry that moves 26 million kids every school day. Our Connected Mobility Experience (CMX) platform combines modern routing, real-time tracking, and an EV fleet to give school districts a smarter, more transparent alternative to legacy transportation providers. Backed by TPG, Sequoia, and SoftBank with $430M raised at a $1.7B valuation, Zum operates in major districts including San Francisco and Oakland Unified, where they deployed the first all-electric school bus fleet in the country. We're hiring Senior and Staff-level product-oriented backend software engineers as well as a Senior Product Manager. These are hybrid/onsite roles with an expectation of working from our amazing Redwood City HQ 3x/week.
