About

Atlas is the concierge and credit card built for those who expect more — unlocking coveted access across dining, travel, and lifestyle while making spending seamless.

Our members are discerning, busy individuals who rely on Atlas to deliver insider access, curated service, and unmatched reliability.

In just 12 months, we've scaled to over $X00,000,000 in spending volume, growing double digits month-over-month — organically, without paid marketing.

We're backed by world-class investors and have multiple years of runway ahead. Our team brings deep experience from building and scaling iconic products at companies like Apple, Robinhood, and DoorDash.

Today, we're a small, high-performing team of around 35 people based between New York and San Francisco. We value in-person collaboration and expect you to join us in our SF office (FiDi) at least three days a week.

The Role

We’re hiring a backend engineer to help build the systems that power Atlas—from payments and card issuing, to GDS integrations and real-time concierge tooling.

You’ll work across the stack to build reliable, performant infrastructure—integrating with third-party APIs, scaling backend services, and shaping the foundation of Atlas’s most critical systems. This is an opportunity to move fast, ship often, and have an outsized impact on a product people truly love.

What You’ll Work On

• Core backend systems that power card issuing, payments, and merchant intelligence

• Integrations with GDS platforms, travel partners, and third-party APIs

• Internal tooling to streamline concierge workflows across flights, hotels, and dining

• Secure, reliable infrastructure that scales as we grow spend volume

• Fast, maintainable services with clean interfaces across our product stack

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building production systems in languages like Go, Node.js, Python, or similar

• 3+ years working with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure

• Experience with SQL and relational databases (Postgres preferred)

• A strong understanding of software reliability, observability, and performance optimization

• Comfort owning large projects end-to-end and collaborating closely with product and ops

• A bias for clean, well-tested code and thoughtful abstractions
  

Why Join Atlas

• Real impact: You’ll help define how AI changes luxury travel, payments, and experiences for the most discerning customers in the world.

• Early stage, no bureaucracy: We’re lean, well funded, growing fast, and moving faster.

• Creative, high-caliber teammates: Our team comes from places like Shopify, Apple, Y Combinator startups — but what matters most here is what you build.

• Solid compensation: Competitive salary and meaningful equity — you’re helping build the foundation of Atlas.

• Fun problem space: Every day involves designing tech that makes luxury travel, dining, and payments feel seamless.
