Additional Information

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. But today, most never get it. Atticus makes it easy for any 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. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we've helped hundreds of thousands of people access over $10B in life-changing aid -and earned over 19,000+ five-star reviews. And we're just getting started. We've raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures, with ambitions to create a category defining business assisting needy Americans. (We closed our Series C round in April 2025, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) In 2025, our team grew from 151 to 210, and we will grow again in 2026. The Job Atticus works in an industry dominated by outdated technology that is ripe for fresh thinking: our core competitors rely on massive call centers to screen clients, antiquated CRMs to track and manage cases, and paper checks to get paid (provided they're sent to the right address). Conversely, as a VC-backed tech company our product & engineering department powers everything we do: from creating an engaging online experience for people in crisis to providing tools for our network lawyers as they serve our clients, Atticus relies on technology to fulfill our mission. We're looking for backend-focused fullstack Software Engineers to join our Representation pod, a team of engineers, product managers, and designers building the core tools that help law firms deliver consistent, quality experiences for their clients. The team works closely with our in-house law firm, rapidly iterating to understand real workflows and turn complex legal processes into intuitive, scalable software. You'll work across the stack with a backend focus, and will partner with every department at Atticus as we continue to grow our platform to help people in need find trusted legal support.
