## 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](https://sequoiacap.com/article/partnering-with-finch-ai-powered-justice) 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](https://www.finchlegal.com/customers) across the country.

## What you’ll do

You will work closely with engineers, product, and operators to support legal operators and attorney partners in high-stakes, time-sensitive casework.

- Own product design end-to-end for our external-facing case management product, from discovery through implementation.
- Sit with attorneys and paralegals, watch how they work in Finch’s tools and systems such as Filevine, and identify friction before proposing a solution.
- Turn individual stakeholder requests into solutions that work across the product, rather than one-off fixes that create clutter elsewhere.
- Work closely with engineering and the codebase, shipping simple copy, layout, or styling changes yourself where it makes sense.
- Help extend the external product experience into our internal paralegal tools as the two converge.
- Bring a clear point of view to design reviews, explain your reasoning, and push back constructively while remaining open to new evidence.

What will make you successful You’ll likely thrive if you have

- 4-10+ years of product design experience, with direct ownership of complex workflows.
- A demonstrated habit of doing discovery before designing: spending time with the people doing the work, rather than relying only on a brief.
- Experience designing operationally intensive software, such as B2B or other workflow-heavy products.
- Comfort thinking in code and working closely with engineers, carrying decisions through implementation rather than stopping at a Figma handoff.
- A track record of forming and defending design decisions with clear reasoning while staying collaborative and receptive to feedback.

It’s a plus if you have

- Experience across both consumer products and B2B or operational software, bringing a high bar for craft to complex workflows.
- Comfort using AI-native design tools to ship simple changes independently.
- Experience supporting brand or marketing work alongside product design.
- Genuine curiosity about personal injury or legal work, or a track record of learning unfamiliar, operationally complex industries quickly.

This role may not be for you if

- You do your best work when the roadmap, problems, and success metrics are already defined for you.
- You prefer to stay in Figma and hand off designs rather than work with real users and bridge into code.
- You’re most excited by polished consumer interfaces and have little interest in the operational details behind them.

What happens next We run a human, efficient process. That generally includes:

- Intro: An initial conversation about your background, motivation, and the role.
- Interview: A deeper dive with a leader on the team.
- Case Assignment: A practical assignment that gives you insight into work we do and helps us learn about your approach.
- Onsite: A visit to our NYC office to meet the team, explore the work together, and have lunch.

- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)

- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Viraj Bindra (Co-Founder & CEO), Ben Weems (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Legal Technology (LegalTech), Personal Injury Pre-Litigation Services
- **Target customers**: Plaintiff personal injury law firms of all sizes (B2B)
- **Mission/Purpose**: To empower personal injury firms to resolve cases faster, grow capacity, and serve more clients by putting pre-litigation on autopilot.

## Products & Services
- **Pre-Litigation Autopilot (Platform-as-a-Service)**: A comprehensive service that takes over the entire pre-litigation workflow. This includes:
    - **24/7 Bilingual Intake**: Bilingual (English/Spanish) paralegals handle intake calls around the clock, qualifying leads and signing clients.
    - **Claims & Insurance**: Automated opening of insurance claims, sending representation letters, and tracking communications with adjusters.
    - **Medical Records Retrieval**: AI-assisted retrieval and organization of medical records from providers, with human oversight.
    - **Police & Investigation Reports**: Automated collection of police reports and incident records.
    - **Medical Chronologies**: Creation of litigation-grade, source-linked timelines from medical records.
    - **Demand Letter Creation**: AI-generated demand letters reviewed by legal professionals, designed to maximize settlement value.
    - **Client Treatment Check-ins**: Bi-weekly check-ins with clients to track treatment progress and secure records.
- **Litigation Support**: Preparation of discovery requests, coordination of expert witnesses, deposition summaries, and mediation position statements.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric (Funding)**: Total Funding of **$23.7 Million** (Series A led by Redpoint, with participation from Sequoia Capital, among others).
    - **Seed Round**: Led by Sequoia Capital (April 2025).
    - **Series A**: $23.7M led by Redpoint (July 2025).
- **Notable Investors**: Sequoia Capital (led by Alfred Lin), Redpoint, and angel investors including Tony Xu (CEO of DoorDash), Jason Boehmig (CEO of Ironclad), and Christopher Payne (Board Member for Robinhood).

    - LinkedIn followers grew **1103.7% year-over-year**.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Hybrid Model**: Combines experienced legal operators (from firms like Morgan & Morgan) with cutting-edge AI agents, offering a level of service and accuracy that pure software or pure outsourcing can't match.
- **End-to-End Integration**: Handles the entire pre-litigation lifecycle from intake to demand, acting as a fully outsourced team rather than a point solution.
- **Seamless CMS Integration**: Works within a firm's existing Case Management System (CMS) like Filevine or Smokeball, requiring no new software to learn.
- **Pay-for-Value Pricing**: Charges a flat fee per case (with an option to pay at settlement), which reduces financial risk for firms compared to hiring full-time staff.
- **Enterprise-Grade Security**: SOC 2 certified with closed-loop large language models to protect PII.
- **Elite Backing & Talent**: Founded by leaders from top tech companies (Google, DoorDash) and top plaintiff firms, with backing from Sequoia Capital.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling Nationwide**: Moving from private access to serving personal injury firms across the United States.
- **Product Expansion**: Continuing to develop the AI agent capabilities and litigation support offerings (discovery, expert witnesses, etc.).
- **Deepening CMS Integrations**: Ensuring compatibility with the widest range of case management software.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Aggressively hiring for engineering, legal operations, and sales roles to support rapid growth.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Impact Role**: Engineers and operators work on a platform that directly increases access to justice for personal injury victims by making firms more efficient.
- **Rapid Growth Stage**: Join a company that grew 718% in headcount in one year, offering immense opportunities for ownership, career growth, and impact.
- **Strong Engineering Culture**: The team includes talent from Google, Stanford, and other top tech companies. The tech stack is modern (Python/Django, React, AWS, OpenAI).
- **In-Person Collaboration**: Engineering roles are based in Manhattan, NYC, with a four-day in-office requirement (M-Th) designed for cross-functional collaboration and speed.
- **Founding Engineer Experience**: Actively hiring "founding engineers" who will own major features from design to deployment, offering a rare chance to build the core platform of a fast-growing startup.
- **Competitive Compensation**: Base salary of $150,000–$220,000 for engineers, well-above-market equity packages, and 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision premiums.
- **Perks**: Flexible PTO, in-office snacks and drinks, and a $100/month tooling stipend.
- **Diverse Team**: Founders and key executives come from top-tier legal and tech backgrounds, creating a culture that values both operational excellence and technical innovation.
