We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer with 3+ years of experience to build and scale real-time logistics and operations platforms at Picnic (Atoms Food). You'll work across web and mobile surfaces, designing high-performance React applications powered by WebSockets, SSE, and GraphQL subscriptions. This is an opportunity to shape frontend architecture that directly powers real-world food delivery operations during a critical 10 → 100 scale phase. You'll partner closely with backend and operations teams, owning projects end-to-end in a fast-moving, engineering-first culture.
What will you be doing?
Design and build high-performance React applications with real-time data via WebSockets, SSE, and GraphQL subscriptions
Contribute to and shape courier mobile apps built in React Native
Lead technical design for complex features from initial architecture through production rollout
Improve frontend reliability, latency, and scalability in a high-throughput logistics environment
Mentor engineers and raise the bar for frontend engineering across the team
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress. Founded by Travis Kalanick after leaving Uber, Atoms represents the consolidation of eight years of technology development across multiple divisions — bringing Physical AI to the industries that move civilization forward.
The company operates across three core verticals:
Atoms takes a modular, OEM-agnostic approach — integrating autonomous robotic technology into existing vehicles and equipment (Hitachi, Komatsu, Toyota, Hyundai) rather than replacing them. Both the food and mining divisions are live production ecosystems with real customers, not experimental or simulated environments.
The culture at Atoms is engineering-first. Engineers and engineering leaders make the primary decisions that impact the company — not operations or finance. This means regardless of level, engineers have outsized impact compared to traditional large tech companies. The work is ambitious, often challenging, and grounded in a shared sense of purpose to bring automation into the physical world.
