About this role

<p><strong>Who we are</strong></p> <p>Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What you’ll do</strong></p> <p>As a Software Engineer, you will be helping connect our core food infrastructure platform with the external systems used by our restaurant partners. With guidance from more senior engineers, you will grow your skills while delivering real, production impact.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Build and Maintain APIs:</strong> Contribute to developing, deploying, and maintaining reliable, secure API integrations for the exchange of critical data (orders, menus, status updates) between our platform and systems like Point-of-Sale (POS) and ERPs.</li> <li><strong>Backend Development:</strong> Work primarily on the backend using modern development practices and one or more of our core languages: Java, Go, Kotlin, C++, C#, Scala or Rust.&nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Data Integrity and Performance:</strong> Support data flow across systems, learning to query, synchronize, and model critical restaurant data reliably.</li> <li><strong>Stakeholder Collaboration:</strong> Work closely with Product Managers and more experienced engineers to understand integration requirements and translate them into working code.</li> <li><strong>Deliver Features:</strong> Take ownership of well-scoped tasks and features, from implementation through testing and deployment, with support from the team.</li> <li><strong>Global Collaboration:</strong> Collaborate with teams and projects across more than 20 countries around the world.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What we’re looking for</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Bachelor’s Degree required, </strong>ideally<strong> </strong>academic background in Computer Science or a related field.</li> <li><strong>1–3 years</strong> of professional experience as a Backend or Integration Software Engineer.</li> <li><strong>Programming Proficiency:</strong> Ability to write production-ready code in at least one of our core backend stack languages: Java, Go, Kotlin, C++, Scala, Rust or C#.</li> <li><strong>Mindset:</strong> A clear willingness to learn and grow, a love for technical challenges, and a proactive, problem-solving attitude.</li> <li><strong>Impact:</strong> Some experience contributing to real projects where you can describe the part you played.</li> <li><strong>Language:</strong> Good English proficiency, as you will be collaborating with our global team.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Why join us</strong></p> <p>At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What else you need to know</strong></p> <p>This role is based in our São Paulo<em>&nbsp;</em>office. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><em>#LI-Onsite</em></p>
