You'll scale our search infrastructure up and out, owning both the hardware and the configurations of our indices.
You'll drive us to a best-in-class position when it comes to user privacy, security, and Enterprise-level features.
You'll own our feature-store infrastructure, making it easy for multiple teams to make high‑value information quickly and cheaply available.
You'll work with product engineers across the organization, consulting on data modeling and ingesting new types of content.
Skills You'll Need to Bring:
You have experience in:
backend engineering;
data infrastructure;
search infrastructure;
queueing systems;
at‑least‑once message delivery;
multi‑stage data pipelines; or
distributed systems
You have a track record for shipping scalable and reliable user‑facing products.
You thrive when collaborating cross‑functionally - especially with product, design, infrastructure or data teams.
You have a computer science background or equivalent technical experience.
Nice to Haves:
You have experience building full‑text search using, e.g: Lucene, Elasticsearch, Solr.
You have experience with designing, building and maintaining complex distributed systems.
You have experience with large scale data processing technologies, e.g: Spark, Flink, Kafka, Airflow, YARN/Hadoop.
You have tuned the throughput of a complex asynchronous system.
You have worked at a fast‑growing start‑up, a SaaS company, or are eager to contribute in such an environment (being a current Notion user would be great!)
You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others-and understand why we're big fans of their work.
We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you're excited about a role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply.

Frontend Software Engineer - Fab
Atomic Semi
Principal software engineer job in San Francisco, CA
Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab.
It's already possible to build this with today's technology and a few simplifications. We'll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve.
We're building a small team of exceptional, hands‑on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We'll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.
Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better.
We believe our team and lab can build anything. We've set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e‑beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, we'll just invent along the way.
Atomic was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller. Sam is best known for making chips in his garage, and Jim has been a leader in the semiconductor industry for the past 40 years.
About the Team
At Atomic Semi, we're building a fast, small semiconductor fab from the ground up. The software team is responsible for everything that makes the fab run-writing the code that controls, manages, automates, and orchestrates the hardware that powers chipmaking.
About the Role
You'll own frontend product development-from idea to shipped UI. You'll turn ambiguous workflows into clear, fast, reliable interfaces and obsess over product taste, usability, and performance. You'll partner closely with process and automation engineers, designers, and backend/embedded teams to create new operator tools and real‑time dashboards.
Responsibilities
Build and maintain the core web app UI for the fab
Design operator workflows, dashboards, and controls
Develop reusable components and design systems
Integrate with APIs and real‑time data streams
Optimize performance, reliability, and UX
Required Experience
Deep expertise in modern frontend stacks (e.g., React/Typescript) and tooling
Proven ability to ship production‑quality UIs, evolving prototypes into robust products
Strong product sense with rapid prototyping and iteration balanced by craftsmanship
Experience with state management, real‑time data (WebSockets/Subscriptions), and testing
Nice‑to‑have
Previous experience as founder or early engineer at a startup or in a zero‑to‑one role
Published projects, open source contributions, or side projects that demonstrate technical creativity
Experience with complex data‑heavy or hardware‑adjacent UIs (e.g., live telemetry, control panels, visualization/WebGL)
Working at Atomic Semi
We're an early‑stage hardware startup with solid funding, world‑class advisors, and a lab/office in San Francisco, CA.
Compensation:
Compensation: Atomic Semi is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $125,000 - $195,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in Atomic Semi.
Benefits:
Benefits: Atomic Semi offers the following benefits, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:
Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
Generous Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time
Visa Sponsorship
