Engagement Type

Full-time

Attio is on a mission to redefine CRM for the AI era.

We’re building the first AI-native CRM — designed for the most ambitious go-to-market teams. We recently announced our $52M Series B , led by GV (Google Ventures), with support from Redpoint, Balderton, Point Nine, and 01A. Our team thrives on solving complex technical challenges, delighting our users, and setting a new standard for the industry.

About the role

Our Engineering team tackles the toughest challenges, so our users never have to. Real-time infrastructure, AI-native architecture, and a frontend that feels effortless - all powered by a team that moves fast, thinks rigorously, and holds an exceptionally high bar for quality.

We’re looking for Engineering Leads who are passionate about building incredible teams that will push boundaries, obsess over details, and reinvent how millions of people work. This is a hands-on role which combines individual technical contribution with leadership of a small, focused team of engineers.

What you'll do

Contribute across the stack, bringing to bear your high calibre technical expertise in either Backend (Typescript/Node.js/Go/GCP) or Frontend (React), to deliver features end-to-end to our customers.

Recruit and develop a top-class team of engineers that own a critical area of Attio’s product.

Design and evolve our technical architecture to support Attio’s rapidly increasing scale.

Lead projects and make product decisions based on interactions with customers.

Represent Attio’s Product & Engineering values both internally and externally.

What you'll bring

Experience designing secure, scalable, reliable backend systems.

Excellent knowledge of modern cloud architectures (either GCP or AWS).

Demonstrable deep expertise with Node.js/Typescript or Go for backend development, or React for frontend development.

Ability to communicate technical ideas to the wider team and influence decisions.

A desire and aptitude for leading and growing a great engineering team.

What we offer

Competitive salary of £120,000 to £150,000

Equity in an early-stage tech company on an incredible trajectory

Private medical insurance through AXA

Pension contribution through Hargreaves Lansdown

Enhanced family leave
