The Opportunity

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.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain software components that address defined problems
• Produce maintainable software following team standards and best practices, whether authored directly or produced with AI assistance
• Investigate and resolve technical issues of moderate complexity, including evaluating and correcting AI-generated output
• Contribute to the design and implementation of features as part of a broader team, owning problem decomposition, interface decisions, and architectural choices
• Actively participate in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback, including reviewing AI-assisted contributions with the same rigour as manually written code
• Document code and technical decisions to support knowledge sharing
• Contribute to testing and quality assurance practices for owned features
• Actively participate in team activities and ceremonies
• Support other team members by sharing knowledge and providing assistance
• Seek opportunities to improve skills and fill knowledge gaps
• Evaluate and experiment with development tools and workflows, contributing to the team's understanding of where they add value

Who You'll Bring to Atomi

• Proficiency in core software development practices with expertise in at least one technology area
• Effective use of AI-assisted development tools as part of everyday workflows and the judgement to use them productively
• Understanding of key architectural patterns and how to apply them appropriately
• Ability to complete moderate-scope tasks independently while knowing when to seek guidance
• Problem-solving skills with growing ability to plan and execute assigned work, including deciding what to delegate to AI tools, how to decompose problems for AI-assisted workflows, and how to validate the results
• A growing ability to recognise when AI-generated output is wrong, incomplete, or misaligned with requirements
• Strong communication skills when collaborating with cross-functional team members
• Curiosity and self-directed learning mindset with commitment to continuous improvement
• Attention to detail and commitment to code quality and best practices
• Ability to understand the context of work within broader product and business goals
• Growing skill in giving and receiving constructive feedback

Make sure to include links to any relevant projects, like your portfolio, writing, GitHub, etc. - whatever helps us understand what you're good at, what you're passionate about, and why you’d be a great fit at Atomi.

We also know great people come from all kinds of backgrounds, so even if you don't meet all the requirements we've listed, you should still apply.
