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.
About the role
We are seeking an AI Engineer & Systems Architect who excels at building at the speed of thought. You embrace modern "vibe coding" (leveraging AI coding assistants to rapidly generate syntax and accelerate development) but your true value lies in your deep, foundational software engineering expertise. You do not blindly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to do the work; instead, you command them. You use your rigorous understanding of system architecture and code mechanics to orchestrate, debug, and weave together complex, deeply intertwined web applications. In this role, you will act as the master architect, using AI to amplify your output while ensuring the underlying infrastructure remains secure, scalable, and technically sound.
What you’ll do
- Architect Complex Web Ecosystems: Design and build intricate, highly intertwined web applications, ensuring seamless communication across diverse microservices, frontend interfaces, and backend AI models.
- High-Velocity AI-Assisted Development: Utilize AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to execute rapid "vibe coding" and prototyping, translating product vision into functional systems at unprecedented speeds.
- Rigorous Code Orchestration & Review: Act as the final gatekeeper for AI-generated code. Apply your deep foundational knowledge to review, refactor, and debug complex logic, ensuring all outputs meet strict production-grade standards.
