Full description
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
We’re seeking a Full Stack Engineer to join our founding team who will design and build critical software interfaces that connect our physical AI to the digital world - keeping our applications reliable, secure and fast as we grow.
- Build end-to-end applications and APIs that power our autonomous vehicle platforms and systems.
- Architect and implement real-time user-interfaces for internal and external customers.
- Build modern frontend and backend experiences that surface insights from high-dimensional data.
- Debug complex issues across our engineering and data stack.
- Partner with product, design, and engineering to take systems from concept to production.
- Drive code reviews, testing, and documentation, and mentor engineers as you grow into technical leadership.
