## About the role

Podium built the AI Employee local businesses now depend on to answer every lead, book every appointment, and win the moments that used to slip through the cracks. It's not a chatbot bolted onto a CRM — it's an autonomous teammate that qualifies leads, holds real conversations, and closes the loop from first message to booked revenue, 24/7.

## What they're looking for

- Experience building agent systems specifically for customer-facing, revenue-critical workflows (sales, support, scheduling, or similar)
- Familiarity with voice AI, conversational AI, or real-time multimodal systems
- Experience operating in a high-growth SaaS or vertical software company, ideally one serving SMB customers
- A point of view on the frontier of agentic AI — what's changing fast, what's overhyped, and where the real leverage is for a company like Podium
