• Strong systems fluency (e.g., NetSuite or a similar ERP), with a track record of driving process automation and efficiency
• Ability to build accounting infrastructure, policies, and controls in a new, rapidly scaling, or previously underdeveloped business, and to bring consistency to fragmented processes while accommodating legitimate local differences

• Strong cross-functional partnership skills, with the ability to translate operational activity into sound accounting processes and communicate clearly with business leaders and auditors
• Track record of building and developing high-performing accounting teams, clarifying responsibilities, strengthening leadership capability, and raising the performance bar across a team

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.
