Senior Technical Recruiter

Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.

Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.

About The Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter who is outstanding at the fundamentals and can find extraordinary talent, earn the attention of passive candidates, create an exceptional candidate experience, and consistently close high-impact hires. Beyond that, we’re looking for someone who thrives in the pace and ambiguity of an early-stage company and is excited to build alongside some of the brightest engineers, scientists, and business leaders in the industry.

You’ll partner directly with hiring managers as a trusted advisor, helping shape hiring strategies, challenge assumptions, and influence decisions. From defining the ideal candidate profile to sourcing, interviewing, and creating a thoughtful candidate experience, you’ll own the search end-to-end while helping build the teams that will shape the future of Atomic Machines.

If you’re energized by solving difficult hiring problems, working with brilliant people, and having a direct impact on a company that’s disrupting an entire industry, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do:

• Read job descriptions and quickly identify, source, and engage the most relevant candidates in the market.

• Write compelling outreach messages that generate responses from passive candidates and build genuine interest in Atomic Machines.

• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience by keeping candidates informed, gathering and sharing feedback, and ensuring every interaction reflects the company positively.

• Maintain regular communication with hiring managers on pipeline health, progress, and search challenges.

• Proactively identify when role requirements or candidate profiles need to evolve based on market realities and recommend adjustments.

• Drive referrals by engaging employees and partnering with hiring managers as active sourcing contributors.
