Atticus

Atticus helps people in crisis get aid from government and insurance. More than 100,000 Americans (of all backgrounds) turn to us each year, and we get them >$10B in lifetime monetary aid and healthcare coverage. All are at a difficult moment in their lives, when they need a helping hand but bureaucratic hurdles can feel insurmountable. We use modern tech + caring human experts to turn a complex, demeaning, and scary process into a simple, dignified, and ethical one. Our ultimate goal is to reverse the decades-long decline of America’s social safety net.

*************

We’re hiring a lot, and if that mission excites you we’d love to talk. Things to know:

* We’re an odd beast: (a) a high-growth venture-backed tech startup building a massive valuable company, (b) a social-enterprise B Corp on a mission to help people in need, and (c) a licensed law firm with deep ethical obligations to our clients. We hew to a very particular business model to keep those all aligned! We love hiring people torn between public-sector mission and private-sector dynamism.

* We’re largely remote but have physical presence in LA, SF, NY, and Phoenix. We don’t care where you live/work, but we appreciate people who like their colleagues, we maintain nice offices for teams that like working in-person, and we drag folks to on-sites/retreats more than most.

* We’re growing at a rapid clip (85 in Jan 2024, 150 in Jan 2025, 200+ today) with all the opportunities/change that involves. Some parts of our business operate with maturity and scale, and others act like internal early startups. There are jobs open in each of those sides, and chances to jump back and forth.

* We’re open to folks from all backgrounds. The team includes former teachers, musicians, consultants, corporate lawyers, pro athletes, organizers, and journalists... college dropouts and people who won prizes at Harvard. Some of our best people applied cold on LinkedIn, so we take this place seriously! We'd love to hear from you!
