## Who we are

CloudKitchens helps restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery - our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality, and convenient for everyone.

We take underutilized properties and transform them into smart kitchens so they can better serve restaurateurs, customers, and the neighborhoods they’re in. Every time we launch a new facility, we create jobs in that neighborhood, and we’re proud to provide a wide range of cuisines and options for healthy food at an affordable price.

We're changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant, all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

## Why this role is different

This isn’t a typical HVAC job chasing random service calls.

- Opportunity to grow into Facilities or Regional leadership roles
- Be part of a rapidly growing operation in a $100B+ industry
- Independent problem-solving with access to a collaborative support network (engineering, senior techs) for complex escalations

## What you’ll do

HVAC/R & Facilities Maintenance

- Perform preventative maintenance and repairs on commercial HVAC/R systems (WIC/R, RTUs, exhaust fans, hoods, make-up air units, DOAS systems)

- Review reports (startup, testing, balancing) to verify system performance

New Site Support

- Assist with new facility openings by verifying installation and system functionality
- Identify issues early and coordinate corrective actions

What your week looks like

- 70% hands-on HVAC/R maintenance & repair
- 20% troubleshooting & diagnostics (onsite + remote)
- 10% inspections, reporting, and system verification

## What we’re looking for

Required

- 5+ years of commercial HVAC/R experience
- Experience working with rooftop units, ventilation systems, or refrigeration(Walk-Ins)
- Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
- Valid driver’s license and ability to travel between sites locally

## Preferred

- HVAC Universal certification (EPA, trade school, or equivalent)
- Experience in restaurants, hospitality, or multi-site facilities
- Working knowledge of electrical and plumbing systems

Work Environment & Schedule

- Field-based role across the Greater Atlanta Area
- Local travel between sites (home daily)
- Monday–Friday schedule with on-call rotation and overtime opportunities

## Why join us

- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500B- $1T by 2030.

- **Atoms Food (ProFood)**: Robotics for better food. Automated kitchen systems that deliver consistent, affordable meals at scale; kitchen infrastructure platforms (bringing orders, delivery, operations into one platform); food real estate; Lab37 (an operating system for food facilities); and a forthcoming “built” meals brand.
- **Lab37**: The operating system/software layer that connects and orchestrates Atoms’ physical automation across domains.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed

## Competitive Advantages
- **Cross-stack vertical integration**: Controls sensors, compute, software, manufacturing, operations, real estate, energy, and infrastructure — a rare “full-stack” approach to physical AI.
- **Founder advantage**: Led by Travis Kalanick (Uber co-founder) who has deep experience scaling category-defining companies and attracting top engineering/operations talent.
- **Real-world deployment**: Robots with “real jobs” — not lab demos — deployed in working mines, kitchens, and transport systems today.

- International expansion with dedicated regional roles (APAC, LATAM, Europe)

## Why Work Here
- **High ownership**: “Take ownership early, and contribute from day one” — interns and new hires work on live products, not side projects.
