Podium is seeking the next candidate to join our amazing Technical Support Engineer team. The Technical Support Engineer is a critically important role for Podium as we continually develop products and scale our customer service offerings. Sitting within our engineering department, your primary responsibilities are to own specific products from a technical perspective, troubleshoot, identify, and resolve issues by pushing bug fixes, and effectively reporting feedback and feature requests to the product team - the true 360-degree company expert in the given product(s).

You will work closely with cross-functional teams such as Product, Support, Customer Success, Onboarding, and other engineers to ensure we provide the highest level of service and resolution to our customers, aligned with the goals of being the overall Voice of the Customer at the company, optimizing processes, maximizing net retention, and fixing bugs.

The ideal candidate thrives on helping local businesses solve their problems, drives innovation, and is confident in ambiguity. While this role is not purely customer-facing in nature, you will be involved in escalations and resolution, and will join customer meetings when appropriate.

• Create internal documentation of our products and processes
• Maintain open communication channels within the broader Customer Success department and Product teams
• Serve as the Voice of the Customer, socializing organized qualitative and quantitative data to cross-functional partners to improve our products
• Work cross-functionally with Podium teams on various ad-hoc initiatives to enhance the customer experience
• Resolve escalated cases promptly while holding Product, Engineering and yourself accountable to established Service Level Agreements

What You Should Have:

• A customer-first mindset with strong empathy and ownership
• 1–3 years of experience in technical or product support roles
• Ability to drive innovation, improve processes, and thrive in an unstructured or rapidly changing environment
• An AI power user, you are comfortable working with multiple agents at once and are excited for AI's future

• Strong analytical and data-driven problem-solving skills
• Experience managing and triaging customer issues, feature requests, or product-related escalations
• Proactive approach to identifying gaps, proposing solutions, and improving team workflows

Benefits:

• Real growth and transparent career development opportunities - we’re still young in Australia with plenty of room to grow.
• A unique product that makes an actual impact on the local businesses you love and support.
• Attractive base + super and commissions package.
• A generous $650 monthly ‘Benefits & Wellbeing’ allowance, spent how you please.
