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 6 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 gotten thousands of people access to over $4B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.We've helped more than 110,000 people in need (see our 13,000+ five-star reviews) and raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures. (We closed our Series C round in April 2025, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) We're small but moving fast — our team grew from 89 to over 151 last year, and we expect to grow again in 2025.
The Job
To provide a great experience for a client, we have to do a lot quickly. Understand their situation, identify their needs, give advice, match them with the right lawyer, connect them to that lawyer, convince both parties to work together, and formalize the arrangement — all while doing our best to make a complex and scary system feel simple, accessible, and human. We’ve had a great start, but need the help of an experienced product designer to make this experience even better for both clients and lawyers. As a product designer at Atticus, you’ll take ownership of user experience from the perspective of both audiences: client and lawyer.
You’ll be embedded in the entire product development process, from conducting research to deeply understand and empathize with end users, all the way to working with our incredible engineers to implement beautiful, effective designs. This will be a high-impact, high-ownership role, and an opportunity to make a big difference in the lives of Americans struggling with disabilities. While developing core user experiences, you will also play an influential role in contributing to systems and processes that allow us to scale gracefully and maintain an innovative and high-quality design culture.
Responsibilities:
- Design and ship user flows and experiences across various product areas, with a focus on achieving key objectives such as user acquisition, engagement, and conversion
- Own and understand testing and improvement of the experiences you design, through metrics tracking, qualitative user research, and testing
- Deeply understand our clients, lawyers, and internal teams by planning and conducting generative and evaluative research
- Work collaboratively with fellow designers and engineers to create scalable and effective systems as the team grows
- Provide and seek feedback from stakeholders and other designers to create a culture of open communication, and to foster the development of consistent, high-quality design work
- Apply a systems mindset to projects, driving towards north star experiences that are as scalable and consistent
- Balance product vision with practical implementation—moving fast without compromising quality
- Elevate design craft across the organization through continued demonstration of visual design, interaction design, and prototyping
Qualifications
Required:
- 5+ years of product design experience as an in-house designer
- You have a portfolio of high-quality work that shows your experience designing elegant and visually engaging solutions to complex problems that directly solve user needs
- You demonstrate a comprehensive range of design skills from high-level flows to detailed interactions
- You take a structured and intentional approach to your work, leveraging frameworks, research, and principles to articulate your design decisions
- You have experience working closely and collaboratively with product managers, engineers, researchers, and other designers in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment
- You are deeply committed to understanding business and customer needs
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and presentation skills
- Strong visual design skills and/or background: illustration, branding, typography, motion and animation, etc.
Bonus:
- Early-stage startup experience: complex consumer business, two-sided marketplace, and/or B2B product
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.
Salary and Benefits

Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

Location
This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Live wherever, work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues —somewhere between quarterly and yearly. 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.
