We’re on a mission to make organizational knowledge instantly accessible regardless of which app, service, or platform it lives in. We’re an early series startup combining cutting-edge machine learning and AI to solve some of the most complex challenges in enterprise search: indexing, retrieval, and scaling across multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure). With a collaborative culture, robust tools, and comprehensive benefits, Atolio is a place where innovation and creativity thrive. About the Role: We're looking for a UI Engineer to help design and build the next generation of user experiences at Atolio. You'll work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to create intuitive, high-performance applications that power AI-driven workflows. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building complex web applications, frontend architecture, and user-facing product experiences. You'll contribute across the full product development lifecycle, from technical design and implementation to performance optimization and user experience improvements. You'll join a modern engineering environment that embraces the latest technologies, AI-assisted development workflows, and rapid iteration. ## What You'll Do - Design and build high-quality user interfaces for complex web applications for responsive platforms like desktop and mobile. - Develop scalable frontend architecture and reusable component systems. - Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver end-to-end features. - Build user experiences that leverage AI and agent-driven workflows. - Use modern AI-assisted and agentic coding tools to improve development velocity and code quality. - Participate in technical design discussions, architecture reviews, and engineering planning. - Optimize application performance, accessibility, responsiveness, and usability. - Contribute to frontend standards, best practices, and code reviews. - Help shape the future direction of our product and user experience. ## What We're Looking For - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on frontend development. - Experience building modern web applications using React, Vue, Angular, or a similar frontend framework. - Strong proficiency with JavaScript and TypeScript. - Experience designing and implementing scalable frontend architecture. - Strong understanding of component-based development and state management patterns. - Experience working closely with product and design teams. - Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and modern engineering workflows. - Experience with modern build tooling such as Vite. - Experience writing and maintaining end-to-end tests with Playwright, Cypress, or similar frameworks. - Strong communication and collaboration skills. - Ability to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment. ## Nice to Have - Experience with Svelte or interest in learning it quickly. ## About Atolio ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Atolio provides an AI-powered enterprise search platform that is fully self-hosted inside a customer's own cloud environment, enabling secure, permission-aware knowledge discovery across workplace applications. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Denver, Colorado, United States - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: David Lanstein (CEO) and Gareth Watts (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Enterprise Software, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Management, Enterprise Search - **Target customers**: Large enterprises and hypergrowth companies (Global 2000), as well as government and defense organizations (e.g., U.S. Air Force) with strict security, compliance, and data residency requirements. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To fix how teams manage and share information by providing a secure, AI-powered search that keeps enterprise data under the customer's control. ## Products & Services - **Atolio Enterprise Search Platform**: A self-hosted AI search engine that indexes data from workplace apps (Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Office 365, etc.) with document-level permissions. Users can ask questions and get answers, find documents, and identify subject matter experts, all within their own cloud perimeter. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: $24M total funding raised (Series A, closed approximately 9 months ago as of mid-2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: IBM Ventures, Translink Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Acorn Pacific Ventures, Parameter Ventures (and 5+ additional investors). Also awarded a $1.25M U.S. Air Force SBIR Direct-to-Phase II contract. - **Growth Signals**: The company is actively hiring for multiple engineering and deployment roles (Senior Backend Engineer, Deployment Engineer, Connector Software Engineer, IT Systems Engineer). They have a clear focus on expanding into government/defense sectors and serve both fast-growing companies and the Global 2000. ## Competitive Advantages - **100% Self-Hosted**: Unlike SaaS competitors like Microsoft Copilot or Glean, Atolio is deployed entirely within the customer's own cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premises with Red Hat OpenShift). Data never leaves the customer's infrastructure — a technical guarantee, not just a contractual one. - **Model Agnostic**: Customers can bring their own LLM (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, IBM watsonx.ai, or self-hosted models like Llama), avoiding vendor lock-in. - **Permission Mirroring**: Enforces access controls from source systems in real-time, ensuring users only see content they are already authorized to view. - **Cross-Ecosystem Search**: Connects across the full tool stack, not just Microsoft or Google ecosystems, surfacing knowledge and expertise from Slack, Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and more. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities and direction for growth**: Scaling the team to meet demand from large enterprises and government clients. Deepening integrations with enterprise systems. Expanding deployment flexibility (GovCloud, hybrid cloud, on-premises). Continuing to improve AI relevance and search analytics. Winning more defense and regulated-industry contracts (as evidenced by the Air Force SBIR award). ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Founded by veterans of Splunk and PagerDuty. The team is described as "growing with big ambitions" and dedicated to improving workplace efficiency. The founders emphasize building "the company we've always dreamed of." - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Fully remote-first culture. The team is distributed across Toronto, Nashville, Vancouver, San Francisco, Halifax, Denver, and beyond. The company has two physical offices (likely Denver and one in Canada) but employees work remotely. The founders note they "always worked remote" and designed the company to be distributed from the start. - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Engineers work on a technically challenging product (AI, search, security, cloud infrastructure). The company is model-agnostic, meaning engineers get exposure to multiple LLMs and cloud providers. The self-hosted nature means deep work on infrastructure, security, and performance. Small, growing team offers significant ownership and impact. ## Sources 1. [atolio.com](https://www.atolio.com/) 2. [atolio.com/about](https://www.atolio.com/about-atolio) 3.
