Software Engineering Intern - 2027 Winter Term
Role Overview
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 we’re looking for
Actively pursuing a Bachelor/Master in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical field
Graduating in Summer/Fall/Winter 2027 or Spring/Summer 2028.
3.7 GPA Minimum
Must have completed an introductory Computer Science course
Have advanced programming experience in one or more application or systems languages (Go, Python, Ruby, Java, Kotlin, C/C++, etc.)
A problem-solver who thrives in tackling diverse technical challenges and demonstrates a clear track record of growth and learning
A take-charge individual who exhibits ownership and takes pride in writing clean, maintainable, and fun code
An engineer who can dive deep into open source software, find issues, and fix them.
What you’ll do
As an engineering intern at Atoms, you'll be an integral part of building out the state-of-the-art intelligent machine for the food industry. Your role will encompass a diverse range of responsibilities, including:
You will build foundational software systems to enable globally scaled kitchen infrastructure and real estate innovations
You test software development methodology in an agile environment
You provide ongoing maintenance, support, and enhancements in existing systems and platforms
You work alongside other engineers to elevate technology and improve systems overall
You write, debug, maintain and test code
You design scalable, fault tolerant architectural systems
You develop information systems by designing, developing, and installing software solutions
You drive innovation within the team and support Atoms’ technological advancements
Why join us
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.
What else you need to know
This role can be based in New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Mountain View or San Francisco. 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. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
The base starting rate for this role is $70.00 per hour.
Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.
Program Dates: January - April, our Winter Internship cohort runs from early January through late April.
Application Timeline: Getting a head start on your job search? So are we! We’re building our candidate pipeline now for our upcoming internship positions. Feel free to submit your resume today, we’ll be reviewing applications over the coming weeks and will reach out directly if your background is a match when interviews begin in the Fall.
