About the role
We are looking for our Principal Operations Officer to serve as Atomic Brokerage's designated operations principal.
This position will be reporting to the Head of Brokerage Operations, with direct responsibility for the day-to-day operations behind the broker-dealer's books and records: trade settlement, clearing, corporate actions, account onboarding, and reconciliations. You will be a core leader on the operations team, working closely with our FinOp, compliance, legal, and engineering teams. This role is equal parts hands-on operator and strategic builder, you will help design and strengthen our operational controls, supervisory procedures, and automation roadmap as we continue to scale our self-clearing infrastructure.
Atomic is a remote-first company; however, candidates must be based in the US with New York metro or San Francisco Bay Area a plus.

Serve as a designated supervisory principal for operations functions; write, maintain, and defend supervisory procedures in FINRA and SEC examinations
Support FOCUS reporting and net capital compliance by maintaining clean operational data and timely reconciliation of all accounts
Partner with engineering to identify automation opportunities across reconciliations, exception queues, corporate actions workflows, and regulatory reporting

Direct experience with clearance and settlement, and with NSCC and DTC processes, at a self-clearing or correspondent clearing firm
Experience owning corporate actions, and daily books-and-records reconciliations
Working knowledge of net capital, customer protection (15c3-3), and FOCUS reporting, and how operational breaks flow into them
Ability to write and maintain supervisory procedures for operations functions and to defend them in a FINRA or SEC exam
Comfort building processes while the business is still taking shape
Nice to have
Experience with InteliClear or a comparable clearing and books-and-records platform
