# Backend Software EngineerAtomic Semi · United States · Senior · Onsite · USD 125k - USD 195kView & Apply## About Atomic SemiAtomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab.It’s already possible to build this with today’s technology and a few simplifications. We’ll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve.We’re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We’ll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better.We believe our team and lab can build anything. We’ve set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, we’ll just invent along the way.Atomic was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller. Sam is best known for making chips in his garage, and Jim has been a leader in the semiconductor industry for the past 40 years.At Atomic Semi, we’re building a fast, small semiconductor fab from the ground up. The software team is responsible for everything that makes the fab run—writing the code that controls, manages, automates, and orchestrates the hardware that powers chipmaking.## About the TeamThe Fab Software team builds the product that runs our entire fab—a central web app used to manufacture chips. Our users are internal process engineers. We build tools for managing hardware, monitoring and controlling systems in real time, designing processes, and analyzing experimental data. The work on this team spans frontend, backend, and data, all focused on making the fab programmable, observable, and easy to operate as we push toward a fully software-defined chip manufacturing process driven by AI and ML orchestration.## About the Role
