The Role

Podium is looking for a talented AI Engineer where your primary mandate is twofold: rebuild and modernise our lead funnel using AI-first architecture, and design and deploy a suite of internal AI agents that eliminate repetitive, manual work for our AEs and SDRs — giving them more time to sell.

If you thrive in fast-paced, highly iterative environments, enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, and want to see your work drive immediate business impact, this role is for you!

What you will be doing

• Build and scale the AI Agent platform — enabling high-volume, real-time conversational workflows that deliver accuracy and low latency at scale.
• Design and implement APIs, services, and infrastructure that power multi-turn, cross-channel customer interactions.
• Own the full lifecycle: architecture, implementation, deployment, and ongoing reliability.
• Prototype rapidly, iterate with live interaction data, and continuously improve system performance and user experience.
• Implement observability, monitoring, and operational best practices to ensure reliability in production, focusing on agent accuracy and latency.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and AI/ML scientists to deliver end-to-end features that power critical business outcomes.

What you should have

• 5-8+ years of professional software engineering experience with at least one modern language such as Go, Python, or Elixir.
• 1+ years of professional experience deploying and maintaining AI agents in production environments that interact with tools, APIs, or real-world workflows.
• Proven success designing and maintaining distributed or high-throughput systems.
• Strong problem-solving ability and comfort navigating ambiguity in large-scale systems.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• A willingness to work across the entire stack—from infrastructure to APIs to user-facing components—wherever the problem needs solving.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.

What we hope you have

• 1+ years of professional experience deploying and maintaining AI agents in production environments that interact with tools, APIs, or real-world workflows.
• Practical experience designing and implementing evaluations for LLM behavior — including accuracy, safety, reliability, and cost monitoring.
• Strong understanding of prompt design, context engineering, and guardrail strategies for dependable, interpretable agent behavior.
• Experience with modern agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen, including multi-step reasoning, memory, and orchestration patterns.
• Hands-on experience with fine-tuning and data curation for improving model performance.

Why you’ll love working here: 

• Podium is the best place to work to:
• Join the leaders in AI agents
• Unlock career-defining growth
• Build with world-class talent
• Make a real impact on local business

Benefits:

• Open and transparent culture 
• Health and Wellbeing Benefits
• 4 weeks of annual leave
• Melbourne CBD Office - Located on the corner of Queen & Collins St

The Role

Podium is looking for a world-class Staff Mobile Engineer to lead the evolution of our mobile ecosystem. Our mobile apps are the primary interface for local businesses to manage their reputation and communicate with customers. As we scale our industry-leading AI Agent platform, we need a mobile leader who can architect how autonomous agents interact, think, and perform within our native iOS and Android environments.

In this role, you won’t just build features; you will be the technical anchor for mobile across Podium. You will design the high-performance, real-time architectures that allow AI Agents to autonomously handle complex workflows, ensuring a seamless experience across all touch points. We move fast, leveraging cutting-edge tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex to accelerate our delivery and focus on solving the hardest problems.

If you thrive in high-stakes, fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex architectural challenges at the intersection of Mobile and Agentic AI, this role is for you!

What you will be doing

• Architect Mobile-First AI: Design and scale the foundational architecture of our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) applications to support agentic workflows, multi-turn conversations, and real-time AI interactions.
• Drive the Agent Interface: Lead the implementation of mobile-specific AI capabilities, focusing on low-latency streaming, multi-modal inputs, and agentic state management on the client side.
• Own the Mobile Lifecycle: Take full ownership of the mobile development lifecycle—from initial architectural specs to deployment, CI/CD optimization on AWS, and production reliability.
• Mentor & Multiply: Act as a force multiplier for the engineering org. You’ll provide thoughtful, kind code reviews and mentor engineers across all levels, helping them level up their mobile and AI craft.
• Navigate Ambiguity: Prototype rapidly and iterate on complex challenges—such as offline syncing of agent states and high-volume data pipelines—with little guidance.
  
  

What you should have

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a deep focus on native mobile development.
• Native iOS & Android Mastery: Proven expertise in either Swift and/or Kotlin with the expectation you will be working in both. You should be comfortable leading technical decisions and reviewing code across both platforms.
• Staff-level Leadership: A track record of leading multi-quarter projects, fleshing out requirements, and driving technical strategy for a mobile organization.
• Modern Tooling Proficiency: Experience utilizing AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to drive engineering velocity and code quality.
• Architectural Mastery: Strong experience with mobile design patterns, threading, and memory management, specifically as it relates to handling long-running asynchronous AI tasks.
  
  

What we hope you have

• Fullstack Exposure: Familiarity with our backend and frontend stack: Python, Elixir, React, and TypeScript.
• Data Strategy: Strong experience with GraphQL for efficient mobile data fetching and real-time subscriptions.
• Agentic Frameworks: Experience with modern agent frameworks or implementing multi-step reasoning and orchestration patterns on mobile devices.
• Passion for Growth: A dedicated approach to supporting new team members through building a disciplined, collaborative engineering culture.
