About Finch

We believe every American household deserves access to counsel in life’s biggest moments. At Finch, we’re building the infrastructure to make justice radically more accessible. Our modern approach to consumer law automates the admin work and puts clients first, starting with personal injury.

Since launching in April, we’ve grown 10x and are now powering pre-litigation for top law firms across the country. We combine expert operators with purpose-built AI to handle intake, claim opening, medical records, police reports, lien management, demands, and everything in between.

We’re backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of generational companies like DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits. We’re rebuilding how the law serves everyday Americans from first principles, and we’re hiring exceptional operators to help us scale it nationwide.

This Role

We’re looking for engineers who want to solve high-impact problems with urgency, ownership, and care. Legal work is full of repetitive tasks, paper-based bottlenecks, and data fragmentation. Your job will be to help us turn that chaos into clarity—using well-designed systems, AI, and thoughtful software. You’ll build fast, ship often, and partner closely with product, ops, and design. Expect to own critical features end-to-end, from architecture through release—and to move quickly without sacrificing quality.

You Will:

Own Major Features: Design, build, and ship production-grade systems across our core workflows
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with product, ops, design, and legal experts to define and deliver real-world impact
Move Fast, Safely: Build in safety, observability, and performance from the start
Help Set the Standard: Influence our engineering culture, stack, and practices from the ground up
Work Onsite: Join us in-person 4 days/week in NYC for high-context, fast-moving collaboration

You Might Be a Fit if You:

Have 3+ years of experience building reliable, secure software in production
Are comfortable working full-stack (we use Python/Django, React, AWS, OpenAI & more)
Write clean, maintainable code—and care about testing, observability, and performance
Thrive in ambiguous environments and take pride in figuring things out
Want to work on real problems that affect real people
Care as much about product outcomes as you do about technical decisions

Compensation

$160,000 - $250,000 annual salary + equity

Additional benefits include:

100% coverage for health, dental, and vision
401(k) retirement plan
$500/month tooling stipend for productivity and dev tools
In-office snacks, drinks, and daily team dinners
Flexible PTO (we trust you to take the time you need)

At Finch Legal, we believe in practicing what we advocate.

As a firm dedicated to upholding justice and protecting people in the workplace, we are equally committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment within our own walls. We welcome and support individuals from all backgrounds and lived experiences — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or veteran status.

We recognize that diversity strengthens our team, enriches our perspectives, and empowers us to better serve our clients and communities. At Finch Legal, inclusion isn’t just a value — it’s a practice.
