About the role

Hey there, we’re Gale 👋

We are a VC-backed immigration platform transforming how U.S. companies hire international talent. By combining advanced automation with expert legal counsel, we replace opaque, paper-heavy processes with a transparent, tech-enabled experience.

We’ve already helped 60+ high-growth startups and enterprises navigate the immigration landscape. We’re backed by Y Combinator, have raised $2.7M from leading VCs, and have a strong presence in Silicon Valley. Now, we’re looking for top talent to help us scale. 

Our goal is simple: let software handle the paperwork so attorneys can focus on law, and immigrants can focus on their future.

Role Overview

  • Manage the full lifecycle of immigration petitions for high-skilled visa categories, including O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2/3, PERM, H-1B, TN, J-1, L-1, and E-2.
  • Provide strategic consultation to customers regarding their most viable immigration pathways and long-term residency options.
  • Drive case strategy and operational efficiency, taking full ownership of processes within a dynamic, early-stage environment.
  • Work with world-class talent, managing cases for extraordinary individuals who are at the pinnacle of their respective industries.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5 — 10 years in immigration law, specifically handling Founder O-1/EB-1 and PERM cases. Founder immigration experience and/or AmLaw 100/200 experience preferred. 
  • Location: Remote. Arizona Bar admission preferred (or willing to admit).
  • The Mission: We are looking for someone who believes the current immigration industry is outdated and wants to help us fix it.
  • The Attitude: You are gritty, eager to learn, and ready to help build a world-class operation from the ground up. 
  • Time Commitment: There are no billable-hour requirements and we don’t track time. We simply expect the work to get done at a high standard. To be transparent, this isn’t a 9-to-5 role, and the team typically works about 60 hours a week.

What you can expect

  • Compensation: $150k — $250k Base Salary + Equity.
  • Location: Currently remote, though this is potentially subject to change in the future. Flexible work environment and hours as long as work gets done.
  • Product Influence: Direct input into the development of our proprietary legal technology.
  • Career Trajectory: Massive growth potential. As one of our first legal hires, you will define the department structure and company culture.
  • Impact: Take ownership of complex cases for elite talent and help modernize an outdated industry.
  • Agility: A fast-paced startup environment where your voice directly impacts strategy and pivots.
  • Health: We provide health insurance coverage.
