Finch Legal Member of Technical Staff at Finch Legal builds reliable, performant software to automate consumer law workflows. The role includes owning major features end-to-end and shipping AI-powered functionality for legal professionals.

Responsibilities

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 strategy & operations, product, and legal teammates.
Own major features end-to-end, from architecture decisions through production release. You’ll scale the foundational software for our legal team, build software and other attorney-facing surfaces, and help explore and build new products and services as we learn where technology can make legal help more accessible.
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 legal professionals and law firms.
Collaborate directly with our strategy & operations team – as well as our product, growth, and legal teams – to define what gets built and why.
Shape our engineering culture, standards, and practices. The habits we build today will become precedent for our team as we scale.
What will make you successful
This role is for technical team members who want ownership over outcomes - here's what we think that requires.
You’ll likely thrive if you have
2+ years of experience building reliable, secure software in production.
Strong product sense: you can lead discovery and prioritize what to build and why.
A track record of writing clean, testable, maintainable code, with attention to observability and performance.
