Who we are
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. 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.
Atoms 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.
This 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.
We 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.
If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.
What you’ll do
- Build and improve the security platform that protects our products and customer data, including identity, access management, and data compliance.
- Work with product and infrastructure teams to make security controls easy to integrate and meet changing security and product needs.
- Improve service reliability and performance through testing, monitoring, and incident response.
What we’re looking for
- Bachelors Degree required
- 3+ years of experience
- Strong backend programming fundamentals with Java or Go.
- Sound architectural judgement and system design skills. Experience building systems that handle identity and access management is a plus.
- Solid track record of shipping critical systems to production.
- Familiarity with modern cloud computing, orchestration platforms, and modern Identity standards, e.g. docker, kubernetes, OAuth2, OIDC.
Why join us
At 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.
