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.

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.

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 One Medical.
• $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.

• 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.

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.
