What is Attio?

Business software is changing fast. Notion is changing how we organize, Slack is replacing internal email, and Miro is transforming how we whiteboard.

We believe business relationships are next. Attio is revolutionizing the most important aspect of any business: our customer relationships.

As more and more of our interactions move to the digital world, traditional business software has failed to adapt. It has remained essentially unchanged for the last decade. Most data entry is manual, intelligent data analysis is non-existent, and they're a challenge for users to set up. We believe the future of CRM should be simple, powerful and entirely customizable: cutting-edge, consumer-grade designed software combined with enterprise-grade power to make software work for your unique business needs.

Your relationship software should automatically know your contacts and analyze your communications. Your data should be easily viewed, sorted, and filtered depending on your task. Integrations and automations should be customizable and quick. And it should all be possible while seamlessly collaborating with your team. It's our mission to make this a reality.

Why is this role important?

As a Senior Product Engineer at Attio you will design, implement and improve our backend infrastructure. We are particularly interested in hearing from:

  • Engineers who have designed secure backend systems including common design criteria for systems such as authentication or data encryption
  • Excellent knowledge of modern cloud architectures including proprietary technologies offered by AWS and/or GCP

Who’s Team will you join?

You will join one of our four product teams focused on a key area of the product.

Internally, we work around two fundamental principles: Curiosity and Ownership. These values transcend the way we work and how our teams are structured.

We embrace Curiosity with a culture of open discussion and open access - making everything from financial metrics and customer conversation through to code and tooling open to every member of the team. Everyone on the team is welcome to question any aspect of the business and build greater understanding and input.

Through Ownership teams are responsible not just for the technical aspects of their work but also their own product and roadmap decisions. Everything from technical debt decisions through to feature planning is carried out at the team level.

In a culture without PM’s or tight deadlines, we are able to think from first principles and support each other across projects.

What is it like to work at Attio?

Attio employees are currently based in the US, UK, Germany, Belgium, Portugal and Denmark. We are all trusted to produce high quality work in the remote-first environment that works best for us. Kindness is evident in how we work and there is a high level of respect across the team thanks to working hard. This allows us all to challenge ideas, be independent and attract world class talent to join us.
