Infrastructure Product Manager

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.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Product Manager to lead strategy for our internal infrastructure teams. Our mission is to abstract the complexity of both public cloud providers (such as Azure) and on-prem deployments (Frontier AI Lab), enabling our developers to move faster, ship more reliably, and operate at a lower cost.

In this role, you will act as a force multiplier for our entire engineering organization, overseeing a complex ecosystem that supports everything from core compute primitives to in-house built distributed systems such as KEQ, Cloudless Blob, Splitter, LogProc, and others.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Product Strategy: Own the roadmap for our internal services and platforms, including Core Compute (Kubernetes), Networking (Service Mesh/Istio), extensive in-house storage primitives (Postgres, Redis/Valkey, Kafka, CRDB, etc.), DevEx/Observab/Costs platforms,, Data and ML platforms, Security Platform.
• Champion Developer Velocity: Reduce friction by building and maintaining best-in-class developer experiences, including monorepo build systems and automated release pipelines.
• Enforce Reliability: Define and implement reliability standards across our stack to ensure high uptime and system stability for groups operating on our infrastructure.
• Optimize for Efficiency: Build and manage tools for cost attribution and optimization to ensure our infrastructure scales efficiently with our business.
• Pioneer New Domains: Spearhead infrastructure initiatives for high-growth areas
• Collaborate at Scale: Work closely with engineering leadership to align product development with long-term technical architecture.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical Fluency: A strong preference for candidates with a background in engineering in the infrastructure space.
• Scale Experience: Demonstrated success in product management at well-known, large-scale tech companies or high-growth infrastructure-focused startups.
• Product Rigor: A background in translating technical requirements into high-impact features. Strong judgment in balancing roadmap ambitions with the operational health, stability, and maintainability of the platform.
• Data-driven decision-making: Comfort with metrics such as SLOs, adoption, and cost efficiency, and a track record of using them to drive prioritization.
• Bar Raiser Mentality: A desire to challenge the status quo, championing operational excellence, and pushing teams to innovate faster.
• Communication across altitudes: The ability to go deep with engineers on architecture while also articulating the business value of infrastructure investments to executive stakeholders.

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.
