Lead Data Engineer

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 six 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 hundreds of thousands of people access over $10B in life-changing aid—and earned over 17,000+ five-star reviews. And we're just getting started.

We've raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures, with ambitions to create a category defining business assisting needy Americans. We closed our Series C round in April 2025, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future. In 2025, our team grew from 151 to 210, and we will grow again in 2026.
