Member of Technical Staff

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.

In just over a year, we've grown 10x, raised a $20M Series A, and become the pre-litigation partner of choice for top personal injury firms across the country. We believe the best outcomes happen when expert operators and purpose-built AI work together – which is why we handle every step of pre-lit, from intake and claim opening to medical records, lien management, and demands, with humans leading every case.

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

Personal injury law is drowning in repetitive tasks, paper-based bottlenecks, and fragmented data – and 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

As a Member of the Technical Staff at Finch, you're building the system our team uses every day to run intake, medical records, police reports, lien management, and demands for personal injury firms across the country. Your code directly determines how many cases our paralegals can handle, and by extension, our ability to help more cases seen.

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, not just tickets. Here's what 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.

Compensation

The expected package for this role includes base salary + equity.

• Base salary = $180,000 - $280,000.

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

1. Intro: An initial call to see if there's a mutual fit.

2. Interview: Technical session with a member of the team.

3. Onsite: A visit to our NYC office to interview, meet the team, and have lunch.
