Fullstack Engineer

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Atticus works in an industry dominated by outdated technology that is ripe for fresh thinking: our core competitors rely on massive call centers to screen clients, antiquated CRMs to track and manage cases, and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.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and operate Atticus’ web applications with a focus on performance, modularity, extensibility, and reliability
• Work with product and design to evaluate and refine product details and acceptance criteria
• Architect, design, write, review, and test code in a collaborative environment with other software engineers
• Leverage your peers as multipliers for your skills to create excellent products and services

Qualifications

• You have 3+ years of experience building production full-stack applications using modern languages and frameworks
• You have experience building and optimizing React-based user interfaces
• You have experience designing and operating reliable, scalable backend systems and APIs
• You partner closely with product and design to clarify requirements and deliver user-focused solutions
• You demonstrate good judgment around code quality, including when and how to test
• You are comfortable owning services in production, including deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting

Bonus / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Golang
• Experience building software for industries with complex workflows and long-standing practices, such as legal, healthcare, or financial services
• Experience evolving systems as teams and traffic scale
• You are interested in improving internal tooling, developer experience, or team processes

Pay and Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture. We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives. We offer competitive pay — including equity for all employees — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of premiums covered for employees and their families
• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)
• Free membership to OneMedical
• $600/year internet stipend
• $1,000/year reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work
• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance
• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA

Location

This job is fully remote and 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 offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
