The Company
Most companies still plan their supply chains (quantities, mix, allocations, timing, etc.) in spreadsheets or legacy software.
Atomic is rebuilding the brain behind the American supply chain. By tackling operations optimization from first principles with an AI-native stack, we're able to deliver unprecedented results at a breakneck speed for our customers.
We're looking for first-principles thinkers who want to write code that drives the physical world, working directly with the customers who run it.
The Role
Forward Deployed Engineers own customer deployments end to end. You do the same technical work as our core engineers, but client-facing and embedded across the whole problem. FDEs go broad and deep across:
Data: build automated, normalized pipelines on top of a customer's messy real-world supply chain data
Modeling: shape the optimization logic and models to how their business actually runs (data science and machine learning experience is a plus)
Front End & AI: build the interfaces and AI features for customers to interact with and analyze plans
Integrations: wire Atomic into the customer's systems and partner platforms
You
Relevant backgrounds: planning, supply chain, data engineering, management consulting, finance, industrial engineering
Experience: 3+ years for FDE, 6+ years for Sr. FDE
Significant experience coding with AI while applying strict guardrails
Comfort working directly with customers to turn business problems into software
Willingness to do applied, hands-on work at startup speed, spanning code, data, supply chain, finance, and operations (supply chain / physical goods experience is a plus)
Atomic is an equal opportunity employer.
Atomic builds an AI-powered SaaS platform for supply chain planning that helps companies with physical products, with a focus on CPG, food and beverage, and apparel. Its end-to-end planning engine models supply and demand at unit and transaction levels, automates forecasting and inventory management, and runs planning scenarios while integrating with ERP and WMS to use real-time data. The platform uses agentic AI and simulation to generate automated recommendations and alerts, including demand and supply planning plus financial impact analysis with scenario versioning. Its goal is to reduce inventory costs, prevent stockouts, shorten planning time, and improve working capital by providing fast onboarding and data-driven, scenario-based planning.
