But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.\nAtoms builds Physical AI- real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.\nThis work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.\nWe are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.\nIf you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nAs an Engineer, you’ll design, implement, and optimize systems that power mission-critical applications. Your role will adapt to your strengths and interests, with opportunities to focus on:\nInfrastructure: Build and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performance systems to ensure operational reliability.\nPlatform: Develop robust APIs and developer tools to improve team efficiency and scalability.\nProduct: Engineer backend services that support customer-facing applications and deliver seamless user experiences.\nCore Responsibilities\nArchitect and implement scalable backend systems and APIs.\nEnsure high system performance, reliability, and security.\nCollaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions.\nParticipate in code reviews, testing, and documentation to maintain high-quality standards.\nMentor junior engineers or take on leadership roles, depending on your seniority.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nWe value diversity of experience and are looking for individuals passionate about solving complex problems. \nBasic Qualifications\nGraduating in Winter 2026 or Spring/Summer 2027\n3.7 GPA Minimum \nProficiency in backend programming languages like Java or Go.\nFamiliarity with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis).\nExperience with cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.\nUnderstanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.\nKnowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.\nExposure to large-scale data processing or event-driven architectures.\nPrior industry experience via internships, co-ops, or other.\n\nWhy join us\nAt Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time-bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team-so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.\nWhat else you need to know\nThis role can be based in New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Mountain View or San Francisco. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.\nThe base salary range for this role is $120.000 - $140.000 per year.\nActual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.\nBase salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.\nBenefits Summary (USA Full-Time Exempt Employees):\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plans, incl. HSA options).\nCompany-paid life and disability insurance (short- and long-term).\nVoluntary insurance: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity.\nOptional supplemental life insurance for self, spouse, and children.\nPet insurance discount.\n401(k).\nHealth Savings Account (HSA)\nFlexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Care, Commuter)\nTime Off policies:\nDiscretionary vacation days\n8 paid holidays per year\nPaid sick time\nPaid Bereavement leave\nPaid Parental Leave\nBenefits are subject to change at the company's discretion.\nAtoms accepts applications on an ongoing basis.\nApplication Timeline: Getting a head start on your job search?
