## About the role

Atticus works in an industry dominated by outdated technology that is ripe for fresh thinking. Our core competitors rely on massive call centers, antiquated CRMs, and paper checks. As a VC-backed tech company, our engineering team powers everything we do — from creating elegant and intuitive product experiences for people in crisis who are seeking legal aid, to building powerful tools for our network of attorneys that actually help them win the benefits they need.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience building production software, including meaningful time at a seed-stage startup or as an early member of a new product team at a later-stage company — with clear evidence of increasing scope and ownership over time
- Experience on a high-performing product team, working closely with strong PMs and designers to ship user-focused solutions
- Experience designing and operating reliable, scalable backend systems and APIs, with a high bar for data modeling and architecture
- Deep user empathy — you think carefully about the people using what you build, not just the technical implementation
- A track record of mentoring engineers and genuine excitement about helping teammates grow
