## 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 they're looking for

- 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
