Atticus
About Atticus
At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. Most never get it. Atticus makes it easy for a sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In the last six years we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits and helping victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. We’ve helped more than 110,000 people in need and raised more than $100 million from top VC firms. Our team grew from 151 to 210 in 2025, and we expect to grow again in 2026.
The Job We’re looking for Software Engineers to join our team. You’ll work on the front‑end and back‑end, partnering with every department to grow our platform and help people in need find trusted legal support.

Work with product to evaluate and refine product details and acceptance criteria.
Architect, design, write, review, and test code in a collaborative environment with other software engineers.
Evaluate storage technologies and methodologies with an eye toward scalability and performance.
Leverage your peers as multipliers for your skills to create excellent products and services.
Qualifications Required
3+ years of experience writing idiomatic JavaScript, Golang, Java, Python, Scala, or Ruby.
Experience and love for building performant React applications.
Speak CSS and HTML fluently and know how to build around browser limitations.
Enjoy working with UI and UX experts to build compelling user experiences.
Build modern, resilient and operationally sane full‑stack systems exemplifying industry standards (HTTP REST, GraphQL, stream processing, big data).
Enjoy teaching and mentoring teammates on backend system best practices and architecture.
Work well with product to clarify and translate requirements for teammates.
Use a modern version‑control system for your source code repository (Git, Mercurial, GitHub, BitBucket).
Lint all your code or know you should.
Know what parts of your code require tests and write those tests.
Use objective judgment in leveraging the right frameworks and technologies.
Be versed in cloud computing systems (GCP, AWS, etc.) and SaaS concepts.
Leverage continuous integration systems to their full extent (CircleCI, Bamboo, Jenkins, TravisCI).
Plan for, build, evolve and scrutinize monitoring and alerting for your production systems.
Be willing and able to deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain your systems in production and staging environments.
Bonus / Nice‑to‑Have
Experience with Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker, CircleCI, Git, Golang, Java.
Experience with GraphQL, GraphQL Federation, REST APIs and supporting network protocols.
Experience with a distributed SQL platform like CockroachDB or Google Spanner.
Experience with Hadoop, MapReduce, or other “big data” systems.
Can build a great Webpack configuration.
Salary And Benefits This is a rare opportunity to join a startup with strong traction that remains small enough for you to have a huge impact. We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem; your work will touch many lives. We offer competitive pay—including equity—and generous benefits.
Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered.
15 vacation days & roughly 19 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at year‑end).
Free membership to OneMedical.
$600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service.
$1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work.
Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance.
401(k) and optional HSA/FSA.
Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues.
We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $136,000 and $200,000 in addition to equity and benefits.
Location This job is fully remote. We’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues—usually quarterly, plus off‑sites. We care a lot about building a great culture and believe some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, off‑sites, and other ways to gather.
