Senior Software EngineerDepartment: Engineering
About the RoleAs 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 ForMinimum 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
