Responsibilities

• Execute payroll processes, including the calculation of gross/net pay, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and deferred compensation.

• Stay ahead of local payroll legislation to ensure all tax withholdings, mandatory deductions, and payroll liabilities are strictly compliant.
• Perform regular audits of payroll records and reconcile general ledger entries to ensure financial accuracy.
• Act as the primary point of contact for employees and supervisors, resolving complex payroll inquiries with clarity and empathy.

• Advanced hands-on experience with Workday (specifically the Payroll and HCM modules) is highly preferred.
• Full professional proficiency in English (B2 or higher). You will be communicating daily with global stakeholders, writing reports, and navigating systems entirely in English.

Why Join Us

At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time-bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team-so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.

What Else You Need to Know

This role is based in our Bogotá office. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
