About Atomic Industries

Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.

At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.

Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform Engineering team, you'll help transform cutting-edge research into scalable, production-grade software used by engineers, machinists, and customers alike.

You’ll work across services and systems — from CAD and mesh pipelines to simulation infrastructure and web APIs — to build the core backend and data services that power Atomic’s platform. This role is ideal for generalists who are excited to work across disciplines and take ownership of complex, high-impact systems.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement scalable backend systems and APIs in Python and other languages

Build and maintain services for geometry processing, simulation orchestration, and real-time data handling

Design schemas and pipelines for structured and unstructured data using PostgreSQL, S3, Redis, and RabbitMQ

Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment infrastructure (GitHub Actions, Hashicorp stack)

Collaborate with product and design to define intuitive interfaces for tooling engineers and internal users

Profile and optimize performance-critical workloads, including GPU-accelerated simulation tasks

What We’re Looking For

Minimum Qualifications

7+ years of experience building and deploying production software at scale

Proficiency in at least one systems language (Go, Rust, or C++) and one scripting language (Python preferred)

Experience designing and scaling distributed systems, data pipelines, or high-performance compute services

Hands-on experience with distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines

Comfortable working in hybrid environments (cloud and on-prem), including bare-metal GPU systems

Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly in writing and in conversation

Bonus Points For

Experience with 3D geometry kernels (Parasolid, OpenCascade) or CAD/CAM workflows

Familiarity with simulation, manufacturing, robotics, or hardware-in-the-loop systems

Understanding of ITAR, CMMC, or similar regulatory constraints

Experience building developer-facing tools, SDKs, or internal platforms

How We Work

Fast iteration: We deploy code daily and validate it in the factory every week

Factory-first mindset: Engineers spend time on the shop floor to understand the real-world impact of their work

Low ceremony, high ownership: We value well-written design docs, tested code, and real results — not meetings

Collaborative culture: Geometry, AI, and robotics teams are tightly integrated and co-develop the product together

Benefits

Competitive salary and generous equity package

Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents

401(k)

PTO with a 15-day minimum

Quarterly team travel to Detroit

Visa support for TN, E‑3, and O‑1 candidates

Hardware stipend and on-site prototype lab access
