Data Scientist

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 17000+ 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.

Our business generates a wealth of data with untapped potential to support people in need of aid and improve their likelihood of positive outcomes in the legal system. Our platform covers a lot: evaluating a client’s case giving advice matching them with the right lawyer formalizing the arrangement and helping both parties work together as the case progresses. The data we generate across this end-to-end journey provides a unique opportunity to improve client experiences at a national scale for the legal practice areas we support using novel data unavailable to other industry actors (individual law firms government agencies).

We are looking for Data Scientists to join our team and leverage this data to fulfill our mission. You’ll help establish the central Data Science team and embed closely with departments within Atticus to help us better apply data across all areas of our platform.

The role is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing Series B startup that doubles as a B-corp social enterprise. Every project you take on will help clients in need get the help they deserve and you’ll shape our company culture as we scale. We’re looking for data scientists who are excited about our mission and the challenges it entails.

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.
