Fullstack Engineer at Atticus

About Atticus

Atticus is dedicated to helping millions of Americans facing crises access urgent legal and government aid. We are tearing down barriers between people in crisis and the aid they deserve. Over the last six years, we've become the leading platform connecting individuals with disabilities to government benefits, and also assist victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence in obtaining insurance compensation. We've helped hundreds of thousands access over $10 billion in aid and garnered over 20,000 five-star reviews. With over $100 million raised from top VC firms like Forerunner, Google Ventures, and True Ventures, we are building a category-defining business assisting Americans in need.

The Job

Atticus operates in an industry ripe for innovation, dominated by outdated technology. While competitors rely on call centers, antiquated CRMs, and paper checks, our VC-backed tech company leverages product and engineering to power everything we do. This includes creating engaging online experiences for clients in crisis and providing essential tools for our network lawyers. We are seeking backend-focused Fullstack Software Engineers to join our Representation pod. This team, comprising engineers, product managers, and designers, builds core tools that enable law firms to deliver consistent, quality experiences for their clients. You will collaborate closely with our in-house law firm, rapidly iterating to understand workflows and transform complex legal processes into intuitive, scalable software.

• Design, build, and operate Atticus’ web applications, focusing on performance, modularity, extensibility, and reliability.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to evaluate and refine product details and acceptance criteria.
• Architect, design, write, review, and test code in a collaborative environment with fellow software engineers.
• Leverage your peers to multiply your skills and create excellent products and services.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing Series C startup that functions as a B-corp social enterprise. Every project you undertake will directly help clients in need, and you will play a significant role in shaping our company culture as we scale. We are looking for engineers passionate about our mission and the challenges it presents.
