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
- Engineer and maintain our core money platform capabilities, focusing on high availability, security, and scalability.
- You take ownership of your team’s operations and availability by ensuring you have the right monitoring, triage rotations, playbooks, policies, testing and alerting in place to support “keep the lights on” & on-call efforts.
- You will support your peers and stakeholders in the product development lifecycle by collaborating with product management, design & analytics by participating in ideation, articulating technical constraints, and partnering on decisions that properly consider risks and trade-offs.
What we’re looking for
We value engineers who are passionate about building resilient, trustworthy financial systems and are excited to solve complex problems in the money domain.
Basic Qualifications
- Proficiency in backend programming languages like Java or Go.
- Familiarity with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis).
- Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
- Understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time spent in payments, billing, or financial technology.
- Deep understanding of the payment processing lifecycle, including authorization, capture, settlement, and reconciliation.
- Direct experience with payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, Adyen, PayPal).
- Demonstrated experience in architecting and operating large-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems that handle financial data.
- Knowledge of fraud detection techniques and experience building or integrating with risk management systems.
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.
