Attorney

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 19,000+ 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.

The core of this job is representing our clients in their pursuit of Social Security Disability benefits. You’ll join a small team of attorneys and paralegals who are advocating for clients to the highest possible standard of representation. You should expect to handle 25-50 clients simultaneously, with only a portion of these active at one time.

This role will also provide opportunities to lead or support projects at the intersection of client service and technology, with meaningful proximity to a product/engineering team dedicated to building tools for the next generation of legal practice.

The ideal candidate for this role is both passionate about and skilled in representing clients in poverty, while also possessing a curiosity for how technology and the vehicle of a venture-backed startup can transform outcomes for clients at scale.

This role is a unique opportunity to do meaningful social impact work as an attorney in a rapidly scaling startup where we put a premium on work-life balance. Your path from here could include growing as a leader at Atticus or transitioning further into tech/business.

Required:

• You excelled in high-volume direct services legal practice or at a top law firm.

• You are a resourceful team player ready to dive into a scrappy startup environment where you will learn quickly and get your hands dirty.

• You have a demonstrated commitment to doing good and helping people.

• You have a degree from a top law school where you demonstrated strong academic performance.

• You are admitted to the bar in any state.

Bonus / Nice-to-Have:

• You have several years of meaningful work experience prior to attending law school, especially in client service or business environments.

• You have experience at a startup or other fast-paced, agile environment.

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d love to meet you.

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues – usually quarterly, plus offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
