The Role
Podium is looking for a world-class Senior 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 senior mobile engineer who can implement 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 a 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
- 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
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a deep focus on native mobile development.
- Native iOS and/or Android Experience: 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.
- Technical leadership: A track record of leading projects, fleshing out requirements, and driving technical strategy for a mobile feature.
- Modern Tooling Proficiency: Experience utilizing AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to drive engineering velocity and code quality.
- Architecture: 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.
