## About the role

## What they're looking for

- There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):
- Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had
- Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done
- Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
- Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame
- 0–2 years in a sales engineering, applications engineering, technical pre-sales, or adjacent technical role — new grads with relevant coursework or internships welcome
