Product Designer

AI overview

You'll invent interaction patterns and design AI agent experiences to revolutionize how local businesses operate, ensuring impactful outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

At Podium, we bring AI Employees to local businesses that turn every conversation into revenue. Trusted by 60,000+ businesses across Auto, Home Services, and Aesthetics, Podium captures and converts leads 24/7, driving both new business and repeat customers.

In under 24 months, we crossed $100M in AI Agent ARR, scaling 300% year-over-year. During this time, we’ve deployed 10,000 AI employees to empower real business outcomes for our customers. Podium is building what we believe will be the most impactful AI employee ecosystem for local business.

Podium has been recognized as the Best AI Implementation by Inc. Magazine, highlighted by OpenAI for building revenue-driving AI Agents, and awarded the #1 AI Agent for Business Operations by G2.

Our growth is fueled by hiring exceptional people, holding them to high standards, and creating opportunities for them to grow and make an impact. Our operating principles guide daily behavior and ensure we hire people who will thrive at Podium. If you're hungry for growth, aligned to our operating principles, and ready to get to work, you won't find a better place to learn and accelerate your career.

We're building AI Employees that run local businesses - agents that answer phones, book appointments, and close deals autonomously 24/7. Deployed at 100,000+ locations handling thousands of daily customer conversations across auto dealerships, home services companies, and aesthetics and wellness clinics.

You'll design how humans work alongside AI that's increasingly capable of doing their job. The interaction patterns for this don't exist yet - you'll help create them.

What you will be doing:

  • Design AI agent experiences across voice, text, and CRM - how our agents sound on calls, hand off to humans, and handle failures
  • Invent interaction patterns for AI-first workflows - how service advisors review what happened overnight, intervene mid-conversation, train new scenarios
  • Prototype in code using Cursor, Claude Code, or similar - the best ideas come from building, not just mockups
  • Ship fast and iterate with in-person customer feedback - we work on-site with customers, you'll be embedded building alongside them
  • Work directly across product, engineering, and customers without clear handoffs or defined lanes

What you should have:

  • 3+ years designing products people use daily at work (developer tools, technical products, or enterprise software preferred)
  • Experience with conversational interfaces, voice UX, or AI agents - or deep thinking about human-AI collaboration
  • Comfortable prototyping in code and shipping scrappy to validate before perfecting
  • Understand local businesses care about outcomes (booked appointments) not your Figma file
  • Eager to use AI coding tools and comfortable with design/engineering blurring
  • Background in automotive, home services, or healthcare a plus

Why this matters

Our AI agents are scaling across auto, home services, and aesthetics and wellness. Each vertical brings new challenges. Models keep getting more capable. Design problems keep evolving. We need designers who move as fast as the technology.

The interaction patterns for increasingly autonomous AI don't exist. We're inventing them. Your work shapes how millions of local business employees do their jobs.

Our culture

We enjoy the (bull) ride - fulfilled by working hard and winning as a team. We don't have relaxed standards or easy jobs.

How we work:

  • Extreme urgency - speed is a competitive advantage
  • Optimize for the customer - all decisions center on helping them win
  • Go to the source - sit in dispatch centers, understand root causes
  • Extreme ownership - proactively identify challenges and solve problems
  • Early input, better output - seek feedback at lowest investment stage
  • Impact over activity - focus on outcomes that move the needle
  • Always above the bikeshop - we're scrappy and treat resources like our own
