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 As a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer focused on Perception, you will be one of the foundational technical leaders of Atoms' AI organization. You will help define how our machines transform raw sensor data into rich representations of the physical world. You'll work across camera, LiDAR, radar, audio, and other sensor modalities to build perception systems capable of operating in complex, dynamic real-world environments. This is not simply a role focused on improving an existing perception stack. You will have the opportunity to help determine what that stack should become. You will work closely with AI research, robotics, autonomy, and engineering leaders to develop perception architectures that connect traditional perception capabilities with emerging approaches in world models and foundation models for physical AI. This is a deeply technical individual contributor role with significant influence over Atoms' technical direction.

By empowering our robotics, ML, and software teams with high-speed, reliable tooling, you will directly accelerate the delivery of safe, on-road autonomous transportation. While you may not work on every single aspect of it, the team will own the following scope: CI/CD Infrastructure: Own the build pipelines for Transport's repos: large, multi-language (C++, Python, firmware).

Bazel or similar; you'll own the build graph, caching, and dependency management. Firmware & Embedded Integration: Automate building and testing embedded firmware and the vehicle OS (e.g., Balena). Over-The-Air (OTA) Deployment: Design and build over-the-air updates for vehicles in the field: staged rollouts, redundancy, and rollback that always works. Repository Architecture: Decide how code is organized (monorepo vs. multi-repo), how artifacts are versioned and stored, and how dependencies are tracked, in a way that still holds up when the team is many times bigger. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Automation: Wire HIL rigs and simulation into release validation so regressions are caught before code ever reaches a vehicle. Developer Observability & Tooling: Track build health, test flakiness, and time-to-deploy. Instill a data-informed culture, so the numbers are visible and the problems actually get fixed. What we’re looking for 8+ years of professional experience in Developer Experience, Build Engineering, or Infrastructure, specifically supporting large-scale engineering organizations. Strong programming proficiency in Python, C++, Go, or similar, with deep knowledge of modern build systems and package managers (e.g., Bazel, CMake, UV). Hands-on experience scaling CI/CD systems, monorepo architectures, and automated testing pipelines for complex codebases. Familiarity with embedded systems, firmware builds, or containerized IoT operating systems (such as Balena Linux or Yocto). Foundational understanding of designing secure, fail-safe Over-The-Air (OTA) deployment pipelines for edge hardware or robotics. Proven ability to reduce build/test cycle times, eliminate flaky tests, and untangle complex dependency graphs. Exceptional communication skills and a passion for acting as an empathetic force multiplier for cross-functional software, hardware, and robotics teams.

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 We’re seeking a Staff Backend Engineer to join our founding team who will design and scale the cloud systems that power our real-world operations - keeping our fleet, dispatch, and deployment platforms reliable, secure, and fast as we grow. Architect and implement scalable backend systems and APIs that power our fleet operations, dispatch, and deployment platforms. Build and maintain high-performance, secure cloud services that keep mission-critical systems reliable around the clock. Develop robust APIs, developer tools, and frameworks that let other teams build and ship faster. Engineer backend services behind operator- and customer-facing applications, delivering seamless end-to-end experiences. Partner with product, design, and engineering to take systems from concept to production. Drive code reviews, testing, and documentation, and mentor engineers as you grow into technical leadership. What we’re looking for 8+ years building backend systems, with proficiency in Java, Go, or a similar language. Strong command of relational and/or NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis). Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Deep understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems. Excellent debugging and problem-solving instincts under production pressure. Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, DevOps, and large-scale or event-driven architectures are highly preferred.
