Talent Analyst - San Francisco, CA

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

This is a high-leverage role at the intersection of talent intelligence, AI tooling, and special projects. You’ll work directly with the Head of Talent on initiatives that improve how we find, understand, and engage exceptional people — from scaling core systems across a global business to building entirely new approaches from scratch. The work is fast-moving, high-context, and often tied to company-critical priorities. Many of the problems are undefined, and you’ll be expected to use strong judgment, curiosity, and a bias toward action to move them forward.

What you'll do

Core responsibilities

• Build, test, and deploy AI tools that improve how the Talent BD network operates — constantly looking for ways to optimise and find productivity gains
• Capture, structure, and maintain talent intelligence — mapping senior exec talent pools, conducting company research, surfacing actionable talent trends, and delivering community-specific insight
• Analyse data across multiple sources to surface intelligence that informs our talent brand strategy
• Own metrics reporting — building dashboards and frameworks that track the health and progress of our talent network and talent branding activities
• Support the operational improvement of our interview process — refining how we assess for mindsets, values, and culture, updating scorecards to reflect this consistently across roles and seniority levels, and helping us raise the bar on candidate experience

Nice to haves

• Work across our talent branding efforts, supporting internal and external activation that translates our culture into a clear signal to attract and retain the right people.
• Support the creation of highly bespoke executive events with our leadership team

What we're looking for

• Obsessed with AI — someone who is constantly testing, trialling, and finding new ways to use it to work smarter
• Analytically minded — comfortable working with data, whether that's capturing and structuring it, drawing insight from it, or building tools to make sense of it faster
• Highly autonomous — able to take a brief, manage multiple inputs and stakeholders, and drive work through to completion without handholding
• Genuinely curious about the talent that shapes and builds companies — drawn to understanding who the exceptional people are in our industries and why they matter
• Plugged in — someone who enjoys staying current with industry news and brings an outside-in perspective to everything they do
• Willing to try things you haven't done before and problem-solve collaboratively
• Adaptable and comfortable switching contexts and priorities across different projects
• Polished and professional — you'll be working closely with very senior executives
• 3–5 years of experience in a fast-paced, intellectually demanding environment — we care less about the specific function and more about the quality of your thinking and your track record of getting things done
• High energy and high ownership

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.
