Founding Engineer

Attain

Job Opportunity

You're excited by the opportunity to help shape the company's vision, culture, and product at this early stage and leading projects.

You have a passion for building products from scratch and are comfortable working across stacks and roles.

You're a scrappy engineer not afraid to learn on the job and adapt to whatever the business needs at the moment.

Team Culture & Values:

Honest & Transparent. You get access to all our internal data and metrics and how the company is doing.

Can Grind (aka work longer hour / odd hours vs. a big tech company).

Ownership. You want to own what you're working on, from start to finish. From specs to launch. You care about your impact over title.

Risk Takers. We're a seed stage startup. Everything we do is a huge hypothesis. You can thrive in an ambiguous environment and build things that might not work.

Feedback Oriented. We value feedback (internally and from customers) and strive to provide each other with valuable insights into how they can be better.

Autonomous. Can take vague requests and get them done without needing too much help. Can lead independent projects.

Focused. We're disrupting an industry that is antiquated and not sexy. You care more about building a big business than the next hype thing (i.e. Fintech / AI).

Benefits:

Health, Dental, Vision Insurance

Top of the line equipment

Retreats / Off-sites
