[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Atticus

Role Description

As an Engineering Manager at Atticus, you will own one of our product pods, reporting directly to Toby, our VP of Engineering. You will be accountable for both the health and growth of your team, and what it delivers. That means shaping an ambitious roadmap and directly driving the work to get there.

• Each pod owns a piece of our business outright and is accountable for whether that piece works well for our clients.
• Your pod will be staffed as small cross-functional units with 4-6 engineers, a PM, and a designer, all focused around a shared mission and set of goals.
• Engineering Managers at Atticus are hands-on leaders.
• Shape your team’s culture and processes.
• Develop the careers of the people you manage.
• Be actively involved in the day-to-day technical work your team ships.
• Expect to be directly accountable for the quality of your team’s output.
• Stay close to the code; review PRs, weigh in on architecture, and dive into details alongside your teammates.

We’re actively hiring for multiple EM roles to support our growing team. Depending on your background and interests, you might work on:

• Consumer product experimentation.
• Building intuitive and informative experiences to help people understand how Atticus can help them and keep them informed throughout the process.
• Getting clients to the right lawyer.
• Honing the intake experience for people in crisis and optimizing the ML matching systems underneath it.
• Scaling our tools for attorneys.
• Delivering software for the firms in our network and for our own in-house law firm, so cases get handled consistently and well.
• AI-native legal product.
• Early-stage product development to turn inefficient work lawyers and their staff do by hand today into scalable products and workflows.

Qualifications

• You've managed a team of at least three engineers for more than a year.
• You've grown engineers, including senior ICs and people early in their careers.
• You've had hard performance conversations when someone isn't meeting expectations.
• You've worked in a high-performing product organization, with strong PMs and designers.
• You know what it means for engineers to own product outcomes.
• You've operated with ambiguity and limited resources.
• You've been using AI coding tools seriously in your own work over the past year.
• You’re hands-on; you write code, review it, and have opinions about how systems get built.

Requirements

• Experience hiring and leading engineers through periods of rapid headcount growth.
• Hands-on proficiency with our core stack: Go, TypeScript and Next.js, Temporal, or GCP.
• Background in an industry with complex professional workflows, such as legal, healthcare, or financial services.
• We are strongly committed to building a diverse team.

Benefits

• Competitive pay — including equity for all employees.
• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of premiums covered for employees and their families.
• 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year).
• Free membership to OneMedical.
• $600/year internet stipend.
• $1,000/year reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work.
• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance.
• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA.
• Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues.
• Base salary band for this role will be between $195,000 and $264,500 in addition to equity and benefits.
