Workplace Associate

Who we are

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.

• Strong knowledge of Google Workspace, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
• Experience using ticketing software such as Jira, Freshservice, or ServiceNow.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Workplace or facilities experience in a startup environment is a plus.
• Strong planning, organization, prioritization, execution, and attention to detail.

What success looks like

Successful Workplace Associates at Atoms are more than administrators - they are the heartbeat of the office. They keep operations invisible because everything just works. They anticipate needs before they arise, build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external vendors, and take genuine pride in creating a workplace where every employee feels supported and welcomed.

Rather than simply reacting to issues, they identify systemic improvements that make our workplaces run better over time and help create a consistent experience across locations.

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 is based in our London office. 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.

Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
