What Makes You A Great Fit

You're smart, curious, and eager to learn. You don't need to know everything yet - we don't expect you to. But you want to understand why things work the way they do, and you're willing to dig until they make sense.

You take pride in your work. Details matter to you. You proofread. You check your work. And you don't consider something finished just because you've reached the bottom of the page.

You're comfortable asking questions. You know there's a difference between figuring something out and guessing, and you're not afraid to ask for guidance when you need it.

You learn quickly. You take feedback well, apply it the next time, and want your second attempt at something to be noticeably better than your first.

You're a strong writer and clear thinker. You can research an unfamiliar issue, identify what matters, and explain what you've found without burying the answer.

You're organized and dependable. If you're given an assignment, you keep track of it, communicate about it, and get it done.

You want to understand the business. You're interested in more than the legal answer. You want to understand what Flex is building, how our products work, and why the question matters in the first place.

You're willing to do the work. No assignment is beneath you, and you understand that becoming a great lawyer means getting the fundamentals right before anything else.

You're comfortable with change. Priorities move quickly at a startup, new questions come up constantly, and you won't always have a form, precedent, or perfectly defined assignment waiting for you.

You want responsibility and are ready to earn it. We'll give you meaningful work, support, and opportunities to grow. What you do with those opportunities is up to you.

What We're Looking For

J.D. from an accredited law school and an active bar license, or eligibility to become admitted promptly.

0–2 years of legal experience. Law firm, in-house, government, judicial clerkship, and other relevant legal experience will all be considered.

Strong academic, legal research, writing, and analytical skills.

Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, thoughtful work.

Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines.

Good judgment, including knowing when to work through an issue independently and when to ask for help.

Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with lawyers and non-lawyers across the company.

An interest in contracts and commercial work and a desire to develop strong drafting and negotiation skills.

An interest in fintech, financial services, technology, or startups. Prior experience in these areas is helpful, but not required.

Curiosity about AI and a willingness to learn how to use it responsibly to research, draft, analyze, and work more efficiently.

A willingness to take on a broad range of assignments and learn different areas of an in-house legal practice.

Genuine excitement about Flex and the opportunity to grow as a lawyer while helping us build the company.
