## Job description

### Why You?

-   You're excited by the opportunity to help shape the company's vision, culture, and product at this early stage and leading projects.
-   You have a passion for building products from scratch and are comfortable working across stacks and roles.
-   You’re a scrappy engineer not afraid to learn on the job and adapt to whatever the business needs at the moment.

### Team Culture & Values:

-   Honest & Transparent. You get access to all our internal data and metrics and how the company is doing.
-   Can Grind (aka work longer hour / odd hours vs. a big tech company).
-   Ownership. You want to own what you're working on, from start to finish. From specs to launch. You care about your impact over title.
-   Risk Takers. We’re a seed stage startup. Everything we do is a huge hypothesis. You can thrive in an ambiguous environment and build things that might not work.
-   Feedback Oriented. We value feedback (internally and from customers) and strive to provide each other with valuable insights into how they can be better.
-   Autonomous. Can take vague requests and get them done without needing too much help. Can lead independent projects.
-   Focused. We’re disrupting an industry that is antiquated and not sexy. You care more about building a big business than the next hype thing (i.e. Fintech / AI).

### Benefits:

-   Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
-   Top of the line equipment
-   Retreats / Off-sites
-   Professional Growth Stipend

### Interview Process

-   Intro call (30 mins) -a chat about your background and past experiences and see we're good fits for each other.
-   Technical Screen (1 hour) -a simple CRUD app using react + any backend language/framework of your choosing. OR a technical deep dive into one full-stack project you've built.
-   Technical Screen (1 hour) - a live debugging or practical coding interview that simulates working at Attain (no leetcode). Could include but not limited to making API calls, debugging live Attain code, etc.
-   Onsite (2 hours) - last interview with a technical design question + behavioral / cultural questions.

  

**Timeline**

Our interview process takes a month from start to finish. This tends to be mostly based on our team and your availability. We move as fast as possible and can accommodate to a shorter timeline.
