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
