Podium is a suite of messaging tools for local business. Using our platform, businesses of all sizes can connect with customers via text to do things like request payments, collect reviews, and sell products, in a modern, convenient way. Our work streamlining this process for local businesses has awarded us recognition on top industry lists, such as Forbes’ Next Billion Dollar Startups, Forbes’ Cloud 100, the Inc. 5000 (#13), and Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies — in the last year alone.

Headquartered in Lehi, Utah, and founded in 2014, Podium is currently backed by Accel, Summit Partners, GV (formerly Google Ventures), and Y Combinator.

Senior Full Stack Engineer

We’re building the tools that help local businesses connect, grow, and win.

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who’s excited to solve big challenges across our stack — Elixir/Phoenix on the backend and React + LiveView on the frontend.

You’ll ship features end-to-end, influence technical direction, and help shape a platform that thousands of businesses rely on every day.

What You’ll Do

You’ll design and build full-stack features that are fast, reliable, and loved by users. You’ll collaborate closely with product and design, make architecture decisions, and help keep our systems running smoothly as we scale.

You’ll also play a key role in leveling up the team — sharing knowledge, reviewing code, and mentoring others.

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of experience building production systems.
• Expertise with Elixir/Phoenix, or equivalent frameworks like Rails or Django.
• Strong frontend experience with React (or similar frameworks like Vue or Svelte).
• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and search tools like Elasticsearch.
• A track record of owning systems end-to-end and delivering high-quality code.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor) — we love engineers who embrace new ways to move faster.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a fast-moving startup or SaaS company.
• Deep Elixir/Phoenix or LiveView experience.
• Exposure to Kubernetes, Kafka, GraphQL, or distributed systems.
• A passion for helping teammates grow.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Real impact: Your work helps local businesses grow and thrive.
• Autonomy: We trust you to make great technical and product decisions.
• Growth: We’ll challenge you with projects that stretch your skills and career.
• Culture: Collaborative, curious, and bias-for-action — we ship fast and learn faster.

BENEFITS

• Open and transparent culture 
• Life insurance, long and short-term disability coverage
• Paid maternity and paternity leave
• Fertility Benefits
• Generous vacation time, plus three 4-day summer holiday weekends
• Excellent medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401k Plan with company matching
• Bi-annual swag drops with cool Podium gear and apparel 
• A stellar HQ (Utah) gym with local professional coaches and classes offered
• Onsite HQ (Utah) child care center, subsidized for employees

Our frontend stack is React with our back end in Elixir and PostgreSQL. We are looking for self-driven people who are creative problem solvers, that learn quickly, and can thrive in a fast paced environment with little guidance.
