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.

What you’ll do
Our Menu Platform (featured on our tech blog) is the central hub for comprehensive menu management. It streamlines operations, enhances the customer experience, and provides a single source of truth for menus across online delivery channels such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc., and Point-of-Sale (POS) systems such as Square, Toast, Clover, NCR, etc.
Key capabilities include real-time menu updates, channel-specific availability, pricing and tax configuration, ingredients and SKU management, bundling and promotions, A/B testing, and automated syncing between POS and delivery channels. For more information, please visit our help center.
With 99.99% platform availability and 150K+ restaurants, our platform is a critical infrastructure for restaurants worldwide.
As a backend-focused Software Engineer, you will help advance this high-scale, high-impact platform. You will:
- Build data-driven features that power dynamic menu operations.
- Contribute to planning and strategy for tools and internal platforms.
- Design, implement, and test backend services using agile practices.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and support teams.
- high-quality code across multiple projects.
