Product Engineer

Mission

Finch was started by 2 friends (Nino & Steph 🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏻‍♀️) who struggled with anxiety and depression and found self-care challenging to stick with. We decided to build Finch hoping to make self-care fun and accessible after seeing many others share similar struggles. Finch was launched in 2021, and our team is grateful to have helped over 20 million people on their mental health journeys.

Finch is profitable and we believe in responsible growth. We are a small but mighty team who are passionate about mental health.

Role Summary

Finch has unique product engineering opportunities as it straddles the line between wellness and gaming, and our product challenges reflect that. We’re passionate about making self-care feel easy and fun for everyone, and strive to design playful, delightful experiences we hope users will love. If those sorts of creative challenges are interesting to you, read on!
