About The Position

Atom is an AI-native premium domain marketplace for startups and established businesses ready to secure a strong name, build a stronger brand, and move faster toward success. Our curated collection of world-class brandable domains, combined with intelligent discovery, makes finding the right domain fast and seamless, while our platform supports the entire naming journey, from idea generation and research to testing, trademark support, and brand monitoring. As a fast-growing, AI-first company at the intersection of technology, branding, and startups, Atom is looking for a Paid Media Specialist to own the technical and strategic backbone of its paid advertising. We're looking for a Paid Media Specialist who can run our paid advertising operation end to end, with real technical fluency across platforms and a deep understanding of what happens under the hood. This is a mid-level role for someone who's genuinely drawn to the technical side of paid media: platform setup, event and conversion tracking, technical audits, and structured testing. You'll work across Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, Quora, and newer platforms including ChatGPT and other AI-driven advertising channels. This isn't a role where someone else builds the technical foundation and you just launch creative. You'll own that foundation yourself.
