Job description

About Finch

Our mission is to make justice radically more accessible to every American household.

We combine expert operators with purpose-built AI to automate the admin work of consumer law and put clients first by handling intake, claim opening, medical records, police reports, lien management, demands, and everything in between.

Since launching in April 2025, we’ve raised a $20M Series A backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits and are running pre-litigation for over 125 of the highest-volume personal injury firms across the country.

This Role

Personal injury law is drowning in repetitive tasks, paper-based bottlenecks, and fragmented data. We're building the software to fix it. As a Member of the Technical Staff at Finch, you'll own critical features end-to-end, ship fast, and work directly alongside product, ops, and design in a codebase where your decisions matter from day one.

What You'll Do

This is a full-stack role at a company where the product is evolving quickly and engineers have real ownership – expect the scope to grow as we do.

Own major features end-to-end, from architecture decisions through production release.
Build reliable, performant systems across our core workflows using Python/Django, React, and AWS.
Ship AI-powered functionality that turns legal complexity into clear, usable software for law firms.
Collaborate directly with product, ops, and design to define what gets built and why.
Shape our culture of our technical team, standards, and practices while we're still small enough for it to matter.

Who We Have in Mind

This role is for technical team members who want ownership over outcomes - here's what we think that requires.

Must-Haves

3+ years building reliable, secure software in production.
Full-stack experience – comfortable across the frontend and backend.
Proficiency in Python and React, or demonstrably fast at picking up new stacks.
A track record of writing clean, testable, maintainable code.

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with Django, AWS, or OpenAI APIs.
Prior work at an early-stage startup where you helped set engineering standards.
Familiarity with legal tech, document processing, or data-heavy workflows.

This Role Might Not Be For You If

You do your best work with a well-defined spec and a stable, established codebase.
You prefer deep specialization in one layer of the stack over full-stack ownership.
You're looking for a remote-first role – this one is 4 days/week in our NYC office.

Benefits

100% coverage for health, dental, and vision.
401(k) retirement plan.
In-office snacks, drinks, and daily team lunches and dinners.
Flexible PTO (we trust you to take the time you need).

Interview Process

Intro: An initial call to see if there's a mutual fit.
Interview: Technical session with a member of the team.
Onsite: A visit to our NYC office to interview, meet the team, and have lunch.
