Full Job Description
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 As a Payroll Specialist at Atoms, you will oversee and guarantee corporate compliance for payroll taxes across federal, state, and local jurisdictions, with a primary focus on the US market. In this position, you will manage tax registrations in new jurisdictions, resolve tax notices, and audit payroll data to ensure strict adherence to changing statutory regulations. You will serve as the internal subject matter expert, ensuring that our multi-state payroll operations run accurately and without compliance risks as the company scales. What you’ll do Design and execute payroll processes, including the calculation of gross/net pay, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and deferred compensation. Manage the full "hire-to-retire" lifecycle in Workday
