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 6 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 over 110,000 people access more than $4B in aid, and we’re just getting started.

We’ve raised over $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV, and True Ventures, and our team has grown from 89 to over 151 members. We’re small but fast-moving, with a strong mission to help people in need and build a diverse team.

The Job
We hire smart lawyers and assign them to challenging problems, many of which are outside traditional legal practice. This role combines legal responsibilities—like managing clients and cases, conducting legal analysis, and advocacy—with skills unique to a fast-growing tech company, such as user research, product development, and venture finance.

Typical weekly tasks include:

1. Developing a framework to match clients with the best law firm in our network and collaborating with data science to implement it.
2. Interviewing partner law firms to prioritize features and working with Design and Product teams on roadmaps and wireframes.
3. Partnering with marketing to gather client testimonials, including developing client profiles, selecting participants, and conducting interviews.

Our team includes lawyers from prestigious firms and top universities, many of whom have been promoted and play vital roles across the organization. This role offers a chance to do meaningful social impact work in a startup environment that values work-life balance. Opportunities for growth include leadership at Atticus or transitioning into tech or business roles.

We are committed to diversity and welcome applicants from underrepresented backgrounds in tech.
