About Atomic Industries
Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.
At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform Engineering team, you'll help transform cutting-edge research into scalable, production-grade software used by engineers, machinists, and customers alike.
You’ll work across services and systems - from CAD and mesh pipelines to simulation infrastructure and web APIs - to build the core backend and data services that power Atomic’s platform. This role is ideal for generalists who are excited to work across disciplines and take ownership of complex, high-impact systems.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement scalable backend systems and APIs in Python and other languages
Build and maintain services for geometry processing, simulation orchestration, and real-time data handling
Design schemas and pipelines for structured and unstructured data using PostgreSQL, S3, Redis, and RabbitMQ
Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment infrastructure (GitHub Actions, Hashicorp stack)
Collaborate with product and design to define intuitive interfaces for tooling engineers and internal users
Profile and optimize performance-critical workloads, including GPU-accelerated simulation tasks
What We’re Looking For
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of experience building and deploying production software at scale
Proficiency in at least one systems language (Go, Rust, or C++) and one scripting language (Python preferred)
Experience designing and scaling distributed systems, data pipelines, or high-performance compute services
Hands-on experience with distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines
Comfortable working in hybrid environments (cloud and on-prem), including bare-metal GPU systems
Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly in writing and in conversation
Bonus Points For
Experience with 3D geometry kernels (Parasolid, OpenCascade) or CAD/CAM workflows
Familiarity with simulation, manufacturing, robotics, or hardware-in-the-loop systems
Understanding of ITAR, CMMC, or similar regulatory constraints
Experience building developer-facing tools, SDKs, or internal platforms
How We Work
Fast iteration: We deploy code daily and validate it in the factory every week
Factory-first mindset: Engineers spend time on the shop floor to understand the real-world impact of their work
Low ceremony, high ownership: We value well-written design docs, tested code, and real results - not meetings
Collaborative culture: Geometry, AI, and robotics teams are tightly integrated and co-develop the product together
Benefits
Competitive salary and generous equity package
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
401(k)
PTO with a 15-day minimum
Quarterly team travel to Detroit
Visa support for TN, E-3, and O-1 candidates
Hardware stipend and on-site prototype lab access
