Job description

About Atrium

Founded in 1995, Atrium is a WBENC‑certified leader in Extended Workforce Management and Talent Solutions, blending technology and human expertise to help leading brands reimagine how work gets done. Atrium delivers its market‑leading solutions through four divisions: Talent Solutions, AtriumWORKS™, HR Advisory Services, and Atrium Innovation Research™ (AIR). All offerings integrate seamlessly to create flexible programs built for the evolving world of work.

Overview

About AIR at Atrium:

Atrium Innovation Research (AIR) is where early stage ideas and applied research become products. The AIR Incubator is a hands‑on venture studio: small, cross‑functional teams take promising concepts, many rooted in emerging AI and machine learning work, and move them from a hypothesis to a validated, revenue‑ready product. We operate with the urgency of a startup and the resources of an established organization, running several bets in parallel and doubling down on the ones that show real traction.

Position Overview:

Atrium is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to take AIR products from early stage seeds to enterprise ready. Our current full‑stack developer gets products to MVP and V1 quickly. You will pair with them on that speed, then own what comes next: security, scalability, reliability, and the deployment practices enterprise clients expect.

This is a hands‑on role. You will write code daily, set the engineering bar for the team, and use AI coding tools as a core part of how you build. You will get the autonomy of a startup with the support of an established research organization, including real budget, senior partners, and a mandate to build something new, and your work will directly shape which ventures get launched.

Responsibilities

• Harden MVPs for production by refactoring prototype code, defining clean architecture, and deliberately paying down technical debt
• Design for scale with multi‑tenant data models, performance tuning, caching, queuing, and horizontal scaling
• Own security, including authentication and authorization (SSO/SAML, OAuth, RBAC), secrets management, encryption, and secure handling of candidate and worker PII
• Prepare products for enterprise security reviews and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2
• Stand up and own cloud infrastructure, infrastructure‑as‑code, CI/CD pipelines, environments, release management, monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Build reliable integrations with enterprise systems, including VMS platforms (Beeline, SAP Fieldglass, VNDLY), ATS, and HRIS
• Build new features and help take new products from concept to MVP alongside our product developer
• Use AI coding tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) and build AI‑powered features with LLM APIs
• Set engineering standards, including code review, testing, documentation, and guardrails that let a small team move quickly without breaking things
• Mentor teammates and advise on build‑versus‑buy and architecture decisions
