Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler, an AI-native, all-digital manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines directly from code, and PrimeSwitch, its first product family. Backed by E14 Fund.
About the role
The Matter Compiler runs on a fleet of nodes that control real-world equipment. Every build, release, and deployment that reaches that fleet goes through infrastructure this role owns: the build system for a multi-package monorepo that ships to several architectures, the CI/CD pipeline from push to green, the artifact store and shared cache, and the path that deploys software to about 80 nodes today and thousands of devices across several metros by 2027. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Ownership of a build system for a repository with many packages and more than one build target, including what was wrong with it and what you changed
- Ownership of a CI/CD system end to end, including rollback, with an opinion on what made deployments safer over time
- Deep fundamentals in build reproducibility and caching: why a test passes locally and fails in CI, what belongs in a cache key, and how a correct key can still serve a wrong artifact
- Deep fundamentals in fleet deployment: why mutable tags cause drift, how to deploy by digest, and how a node that has been offline rejoins production safely
- Experience designing failure paths that are concrete: what times out, what safe state is left behind, and what the next engineer sees
- A record of production incidents you diagnosed to root cause, with a mechanism, a measurement, and a fix
More about this role
Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.
Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.
