Job description

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

What you’ll do

• Own cost accounting, reconciliation, and financial analysis across programs and departments.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and scenario planning.
• Own ERP integration and optimization, including Workday, identifying the best approach to improve processes and resolve gaps.
• Leverage technology, automation, and AI to streamline financial and reconciliation processes.
• Partner with senior leadership to provide actionable financial insights and drive strategic decisions.
• Lead high-impact financial projects and process improvements from strategy through implementation.
• Drive standardization and scalability across accounting, budgeting, and financial operations.

What we’re looking for

• Understanding how financial systems connect.
• Reconciliation Ownership: Ability to own the reconciliation process end-to-end, identify gaps, and determine the best approach to fix and optimize it.
• Technology & Automation: Ability to leverage technology, automation, and AI to improve financial processes.
• Python: Experience with Python is a plus, but not required.
• ERP Experience: Experience with Protheus (TOTVS) is preferred and with integrating this with Workday, but not required.

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.

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.
