We want creative, curious, and self-driven people interested in building something of lasting value. The people who are likely to thrive at Atticus are conscientious problem solvers. So, if you’ve got the following qualities, then please get in touch:
Creative and flexible. We’re a small team doing things nobody has done before, so you’ll be excited about tackling unknown problems and pitching in to help even when you don’t feel like you know exactly what you’re doing.Natural communicator. Communication is a first-class skill, particularly in a remote world, so we take it seriously. More than just good spelling and grammar, you’re great at building relationships and getting things done with others, whether it’s through Slack, Zoom, or in person.Measure twice, cut once. We believe that long-term, true velocity and agility come from planning enough so that you can move fast without breaking things. “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”Bias toward action. Generally, when in doubt, you try something and see if it works. Yes, doing the right thing is best, but doing the not-quite-right thing and learning from it is better than doing nothing.Outcome-focused. You don’t confuse a great slide deck for genuine user outcomes. You’re able to separate the process from the outcome, and if you’re blocked on the process you were expecting to take, you try other ways of getting that outcome.
