Senior Backend Engineer - Growth

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 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 six years, we've become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits, helping hundreds of thousands of people access over $10B in aid and earning 17,000+ five-star reviews. We've raised over $100 million from Fika, Forerunner, GV, and True Ventures, closed our Series C in April 2025, and are well‑funded for the foreseeable future. Our team grew from 151 to 210 in 2025 — and we're growing again in 2026. The Job The Growth Pod at Atticus is the connective tissue between our marketing, product, and data layers. We run fast, experiment constantly, and take our results seriously. We're looking for a backend or backend‑leaning product engineer who thrives in that environment — someone who can move with urgency during experimentation without leaving a mess behind. This role is less about building polished product surfaces and more about owning the systems that makes Growth function: getting the right data between the right systems at the right time. Think experimentation infrastructure, marketing data pipelines, automated comms, and user identity. If you've done this kind of work and want to go deeper on it, this is the right place. You'll also be a core thought partner to product & design — helping turn ambiguous Growth hypotheses into clear, scoped work that we can ship quickly and test rigorously. What You'll Do Own and evolve our data integration infrastructure — data infrastructure, marketing enablement, customer communication tools, and experimentation data flows Build the connective tissue between Growth's external tools and internal systems Partner closely with the broader Growth team to translate fast‑moving priorities into well‑scoped, executable engineering work Balance velocity with system health — make deliberate tradeoffs and document your reasoning Work across our full product stack as needed; this is a backend‑focused role but we deeply value a generalist product engineering mindset What We're Looking For Required: 5+ years of production software experience, with meaningful time in a startup or high‑ownership environment Data & experimentation infrastructure experience — and a genuine interest in going deeper on this skillset Demonstrated ability to weigh technical tradeoffs between velocity and system health and make a defensible call Experience translating ambiguous product requirements into scoped, well‑defined work units — you're allergic to silos and knowledge hoarding History of working closely with a strong PM on a user‑facing team; you think about the end user, not just the implementation An understanding of the highly iterative nature of Growth/top‑of‑funnel work — willingness to abandon unsuccessful experiments Bonus: Previous experience on a Growth or marketing‑adjacent engineering team Familiarity with Go, GCP, Kubernetes, or Terraform Experience with Salesforce data pipelines or CRM integrations Background in legal, healthcare, or financial services Salary 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 — and generous benefits: Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at the end‑of‑year) Free membership to OneMedical
