Engineering Manager - Observability

About this role

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.

What you'll do

• Lead a team of 6 engineers owning end-to-end observability across the company's infrastructure, including logs, metrics, traces, and event-based monitoring

• Own the roadmap for our observability and cost initiative independently, no PM or TPM support, meeting directly with engineering managers across the company to identify pain points and design end-to-end solutions

• Drive down time to detect and time to mitigate for production incidents across a system where a single request can traverse 60+ services

• Extend observability coverage beyond our original food delivery systems into new physical domains, including autonomous mining transport, as the company's mission expands

• Maintain and grow a highly cost-efficient observability stack (currently running at a fraction of comparable third-party tooling costs)
