Corporate Counsel

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.

What you’ll do

• Global transactions: Support M&A, strategic investments, debt and equity financings, and other complex corporate transactions from strategy through close.
• Drafting: Draft and negotiate term sheets, purchase agreements, and definitive and ancillary documents to land sound commercial and legal outcomes.
• Cross-functional partnership: Collaborate with cross-functional teams including ops, real estate, finance, as well as various business units to identify and resolve legal issues
• Partner with Finance: Collaborate on cash management, capital structure, corporate finance, and investor relations initiatives.

What we’re looking for

• You hold a J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
• You have 3-5 years of corporate law experience, with a focus on M&A and capital markets.
• You are comfortable leading corporate governance for a global corporate structure and are familiar with LLCs and related corporate issues.
• You have excellent drafting skills, coupled with the ability to distill complicated legal concepts into their core components and ideas.
• You are team-oriented and bring a low-ego, ownership mindset to your work—no task too small or challenge too large.
• You bring a practical, business-first mindset, sharp judgment, and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

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.
