About Us Atom is an AI-native premium domain marketplace for startups and established businesses ready to secure a strong name, build a stronger brand, and move faster toward success. Our curated collection of world-class brandable domains, combined with intelligent discovery, makes finding the right domain fast and seamless, while our platform supports the entire naming journey, from idea generation and research to testing, trademark support, and brand monitoring. As a fast-growing, AI-first company at the intersection of technology, branding, and startups, Atom is looking for a Broker to sit at the center of every domain deal and drive it to close.

The Role

We're hiring a Broker to negotiate two-party domain transactions from start to finish. You'll work both sides of the deal, buyer and seller, and your job is to find the terms that get both parties to yes. This isn't lead gen and it isn't order-taking. It's real negotiation on real money, and it takes someone who can hold their ground, stay level-headed under pressure, and keep pushing a deal forward when it stalls.

You don't need prior domain brokerage experience. What you need is the disposition for this kind of work: sharp, resilient, and genuinely motivated by closing a hard deal.

What You'll Do

• Broker domain transactions by negotiating directly with buyers and sellers
• Own each deal from live negotiation through signed close
• Structure terms that satisfy both sides without losing ground on Atom's position
• Communicate professionally and persuasively over phone and email
• Keep deals moving forward, identifying and resolving points of friction
• Build a reputation as someone both buyers and sellers trust to get a fair deal done

What We're Looking For

• 1-3 years of experience in sales, negotiation, brokerage, or a similarly high-stakes role
• Strong negotiation instincts and the confidence to advocate on both sides of a deal
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Real drive and grit: the ability to stay in a difficult negotiation until it closes
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment with real accountability
• No domain brokerage background required. We're hiring for aptitude and disposition

Bonus: experience in real estate brokerage, M&A, or other deal-based negotiation work

Why This Role is Different

• True brokerage experience, negotiating both sides of a real transaction
• Direct mentorship from experienced operators in the domain and branding space
• Exposure to high-value deals and real decision-making
• Clear path to growth into senior Broker, Account Management, or Strategy roles

Benefits: 401(k), dental insurance, health insurance, paid time off, vision insurance
