An Insider's view of Finch

What's something quirky about your company?

We're always looking for fun and novel ways to spread positivity. For example, we started a words-of-affirmation slack channel to share good things customers have said about our product. Hearing stories of impact really helps to brighten the day.

Edem

Product Operations

What projects are you most excited about?

In engineering, work is very open-ended; it requires creative solutions. I don't always have a roadmap for the product so I have to dig and consider edge cases. The challenge is how you scope it down and identify the needs of the customer and then figure out how that all fits together. It’s the hard part but also the fun part.

Alex

Software Engineer, Team Lead

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started out in Product Ops and recently transitioned to Biz ops. It's exciting to collaborate with everyone across the org. Currently, my role focuses on streamlining marketing and security initiatives to people operations. I'm naturally curious and Finch enables me to learn on the go!

Diana

Business Operations

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Visibility and accessibility are crucial in a remote-first culture. We have a virtual office in Gather where team members can walk by my desk and strike up a conversation, we use an "urgent" slack channel filled with high priority requests that is reviewed daily, and I set aside time every evening to tie up threads others have looped me in on.

Ansel Parikh

Co-Founder

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

Finch is a universal employment API that interacts with systems that are really old and clunky. I come in and build integrations against legacy software. I love problem-solving, so, to me, finding solutions feels like an itch that needs to be scratched. I love working here because there's always a new set of challenges. It’s really dynamic.

Software Engineer
