This role is in person, working with the rest of our team in our downtown San Francisco office.

Primary Duties:

As part of the early engineering team at Atomus, you will be building key infrastructure to scale the foundations of critical products like multiplatform applications (Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu) to help alleviate risk and build compliance and security program for the customers.

You’ll also lay the groundwork for engineering and product processes, ensuring that our team can continue to build quickly and serve our customers for years to come. Our stack leverages NextJS, TypeScript, Postgres, Azure, Go, and Electron. We firmly believe that exceptional engineers can master any tech stack, so lack of experience with our specific tools should not deter you from applying. We focus on the ability to ship code quickly and continuously.

About You:

• Have worked on security or compliance-based value driven product.
• Have experience working on large-scale desktop-based applications with cloud-based infrastructure problems.
• Enjoy understanding the nitty‑gritty of technical domains deeply.
• Comfortable with building on all three operating systems.
• You move quickly, are self‑motivated, can roll up your sleeves and are comfortable with ambiguity.
