Software Developer

As an Engineer at Atomi, you bring a reliable and competent approach to delivering software within our production environment. You'll have practical experience across the software development lifecycle and feel at home using modern tools, including AI-augmented development workflows. 

Rather than just executing tickets, you use your well-grounded opinions on how software should be built and take an active part in ensuring our mission of transforming how students learn.

This role requires a solid technical foundation to complete tasks of moderate scope with autonomy, balanced with the self-awareness to seek help when needed. Accountability is a core value here; you take pride in the quality of the code you ship and understand its impact on our users. As a vital member of the engineering team, you will play a substantial role in delivering key initiatives while maintaining a growth mindset; constantly refining your craft, influence, and technical contribution to support Atomi’s goals.

At Atomi, we move quickly and value transparency. Once you’re in the interview process, you’ll receive clear feedback and meaningful insights from the team. For this role, you can expect:

• Initial screen with Atomi’s People Team
• Interview Round 1: Technical assessment 
• Interview Round 2: Culture and motivations interview
