Attio is the CRM for the next generation of businesses. We're transforming the world’s largest software category from the ground up, building the new foundation that will define how companies operate in the AI era. Thousands of ambitious companies are already building their future on Attio, and we’re just getting started. Working with us, you'll have the unique opportunity to help shape the next era of business software while doing the most important work of your career.

What’s it like to work at Attio?

At Attio, excellence isn't just encouraged — it's expected. We're not building just another SaaS app: we're creating the fundamental infrastructure for the next generation of businesses.

We're builders who come together to create something greater than any of us could achieve alone. We take pride in pushing boundaries, obsessing over details, and continuously raising our standards. The scale of our engineering challenges reflects this — we're tackling problems that require rethinking how business software is built from first principles. Every day, we work in sync to solve complex challenges through rigorous collaboration and unwavering focus on quality.

We move quickly but thoughtfully, focused purely on creating exceptional work. When you join engineering at Attio, you're joining a team that believes in relentless execution, measurable results, and collective achievement. We challenge each other's work rigorously while supporting each other completely, making decisions fast while also pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

This is a rare opportunity to help create the foundation for how modern businesses will operate. You'll solve fundamental technical challenges that will shape how the next generation of companies are built, setting the standard for decades to come.

Why is this role important?

As a Senior Product Engineer at Attio you will design, implement and improve our backend infrastructure.

We are particularly interested in hearing from:

• Engineers who have designed secure backend systems including common design criteria for systems such as authentication or data encryption
• Excellent knowledge of modern cloud architectures including proprietary technologies offered by AWS and/or GCP

Whose team will you join?

You will join one of our four product teams focused on a key area of the product.

Internally, we work around two fundamental principles: Curiosity and Ownership. These values transcend the way we work and how our teams are structured.

We embrace Curiosity with a culture of open discussion and open access - making everything from financial metrics and customer conversation through to code and tooling open to every member of the team. Everyone on the team is welcome to question any aspect of the business and build greater understanding and input.

Through Ownership teams are responsible not just for the technical aspects of their work but also their own product and roadmap decisions. Everything from technical debt decisions through to feature planning is carried out at the team level.

Our engineers are empowered as Product Engineers, with work extending beyond code to full ownership of product impact.

What are the role requirements?

In this role, you will be expected to:

• Contribute across the stack (Typescript/Node.js/GCP), including to our Web and Backend codebases, to help move the company and product forward
• Design the architecture of new features to support our scale
• Lead projects and make product decisions based on interactions with customers
• Design REST API contracts for both internal and public consumers that are easy to work with and performant to implement
• Be an advocate for innovative techniques and technologies that can improve our backend technology stack
• Represent Attio’s Product&Engineering values both internally and externally

We believe the right person will have the following attributes:

• Collaboration: Work with other members of the team to ensure that new and existing features are performant and secure
• Communication: Excellent written communication skills including the ability to write long-form documentation of your work
• Motivated: Enjoy solving problems and taking ownership of finding better solutions
• Design: Have a natural appreciation of what a good product should look and feel like

A lot of our interviews are enabled through self-scheduling but we are always on hand to speak to you or answer questions throughout the process. At the offer stage, you may want to speak to more of the team, see a demo or have other suggestions for us to enhance your experience.

What will an offer consist of?

• Competitive salary of £80,000 to £130,000
• Equity in an early-stage tech company on an incredible trajectory
• Optional remote working and flexibility
• Enhanced parental leave
• Team off-site in fun places! (We've been to Lisbon and Malta so far)
• Team events in London
• Apple hardware and a budget for desk amenities
• Cycle to Work scheme
