Senior Software Engineer

Podium Automation is reimagining industrial control panel manufacturing through software-enabled design and automated fabrication. We're building technology to create a new industrial supply chain - reducing lead times for critical electrical equipment from months to days. We've raised over $23M from top-tier investors including Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Transition Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Banter Capital, and SV Angel.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who is excited to invent new technology in the built world. You will own and lead development of our customer portal, Glass, which provides transparency into the state of customer projects and builds a bridge between Podium engineering and stakeholders.

The Problem You'll Solve

Podium strives to streamline the process by which a panel is designed and built. But building physical things is hard: requirements change and priorities shift as new information becomes available. Key to reducing the end-to-end ship time is tightening the loop between Podium and our customers.

We’re building, and you will own, a customer-first application that:

• Onboards new customers to Podium

• Houses schematic drawings and collects engineering feedback

• Exposes the state of a build on the floor and enables factory acceptance testing

• Notifies users, both internal and external, when action is needed

Underlying the portal is accurate tracking of material, orders, and customer requirements. Odoo, our ERP solution, is the source truth. Odoo is open source and designed to be extended. You will be our Odoo development expert, supporting the Glass portal and the many other initiatives that rely on our ERP.

Our Stack: We use TypeScript, Postgres, SQL Server, HTMX, Docker, Terraform, and AWS. As the owner of this domain, you have the latitude to adopt whatever tools, frameworks, models, or services best fit the problem.

What You'll Do

• Platform Ownership: Own the technical roadmap and expansion of Glass.

• Odoo Development: Build upon Odoo to add data, expose new endpoints, and refine Odoo internals to better align with our business.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate closely with electrical engineers, sales, and our procurement team. Serve as the technical leader for this domain and a mentor for other engineers.

• Strategic Growth: Proactively identify and pursue new opportunities to improve the business through the application of technology. We are a software-enabled hardware company, and when an unexpected opportunity presents itself we take it.

Who You Are

There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):

• Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.

• Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.

• Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

• Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.

  What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience

  • 1+ years experience developing on Odoo

  • Fluency in TypeScript

  • Commitment to a highly collaborative work environment full of people who like to roll up their sleeves, want a voice, want to build rather than inherit, and share in the results.on-site work environment

  • Available to work in-person in Brooklyn, NY (in person, 5 days/week)

  Nice To Have

  • Experience with the Node.js or Deno runtime environment

  • Familiarity with industrial controls or electrical design
