About the role
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 As a Backend Engineer, you’ll design, implement, and optimize systems that power mission-critical applications. Your role will adapt to your strengths and interests, with opportunities to focus on: Infrastructure: Build and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performance systems to ensure operational reliability. Platform: Develop robust APIs and developer tools to improve team efficiency and scalability. Core
Responsibilities Architect and implement scalable backend systems and APIs. Ensure high system performance, reliability, and security. Collaborate with product managers, and other engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions. Participate in code reviews, testing, and documentation to maintain high-quality standards. Mentor junior engineers or take on leadership roles, depending on your seniority. What we’re looking for We value diversity of experience and are looking for individuals passionate about solving complex problems. Basic
