    • You'll be enthusiastic working in an evolving scale-up environment
    • You are an excellent communicator with all types of stakeholders across the business
    • You have a proven ability and interest in mentoring and up-skilling other engineers
    • You have a proven ability to work independently as needed and a part of a team
    • You work well with ambiguity and haphazard legacy systems

Working at Atomi

    • Tailored flexibility: Enjoy work-life balance with hours that adapt to your needs, whether for university, family or personal time.
    • Generous leave: Experience unlimited paid leave options as a permanent team member.
