About the company

Zuma Labs is a disruptive technology startup building force multipliers for systemic industries. Our first two products, Venetian and Squawk, target the over-the-counter (OTC) trading markets. We work closely with our customers and count a large publicly traded brokerage among our partners. Trading technology is an old industry… and we’re here to change that. At Zuma Labs, we value creativity, entrepreneurship, and a genuine passion for problem-solving-but what we’re really looking for are born-and-bred hackers with a healthy disrespect for the status quo.
