Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering

Department: Engineering

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

Minimum Qualifications

What We’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
  
  

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
