Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.
Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.
About The Role:
This is a broad-responsibility, high-judgment individual contributor role within the IT team. The Technical Manager, Cybersecurity Engineering is a hands-on leadership role responsible for managing the full lifecycle of enterprise cybersecurity tools, technologies, and detection capabilities across a complex hi-tech manufacturing environment. This role bridges strategic security direction with day-to-day technical execution — managing an external team of engineers and security vendors to deliver consistent, scalable protection across cloud, Operational Technology(OT)/Industrial Control Systems(ICS), endpoint, identity, and network domains.
The successful candidate will own the detection and response program at a management level, drive AWS security best practices across cloud infrastructure, set technical direction for SIEM and cloud-native security platforms, and embed security into the organization's cloud design, Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy, and network architecture. This is a critical escalation point for complex incidents and a key voice in shaping security policy, standards, and vendor partnerships.
This is a full-time position based in either our Emeryville or Santa Clara office, with occasional work from the other office as needed.
What You’ll Do:
Day-to-Day
Advance the detection and response program at a strategic level, leading coverage across Cloud, SaaS, Endpoint, and Identity domains.
Implement organization-wide automation approaches that reduce alert fatigue and accelerate response across all security tooling.
Continuously mature SIEM and cloud-native logging architectures, ensuring a highly functional, cost-aware telemetry pipeline spanning corporate, manufacturing, and engineering environments.
Define and implement scalable security controls that strengthen cloud and infrastructure security through detection, configuration standards, and automated enforcement.
Drive long-term improvements to cloud and infrastructure security posture through measurable, repeatable, and auditable security processes.
Ensure 24/7 network operational coverage through on-call rotation and escalation protocols.
Security Tool Management
Own end-to-end lifecycle management of the enterprise security toolset including, deployment, configuration, tuning, and decommissioning.
SIEM platforms, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)/Extended Detection and Response (XDR) tools, vulnerability scanners
Network Traffic Visibility solutions
Manage SIEM operations including data source onboarding, log normalization, correlation rule development, and alert tuning to minimize noise and maximize fidelity.
Develop and enforce network device hardening standards across all managed security platforms.
Team Leadership and Vendor Management
Lead, mentor, and develop internal technical resources and external security vendors, holding all parties accountable to defined SLAs, quality standards, and security outcomes.
Serve as the primary escalation point for internal team members and external vendor partners during incidents,…
