Who we are:

We are two dynamic seed-stage startups operating in the tech industry, each driven by innovation and committed to solving pressing challenges in our respective fields. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a highly motivated General Counsel to oversee our legal affairs, guide risk management, and provide strategic legal insights.

As General Counsel, you will be responsible for managing all legal matters for both startups, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, and safeguarding our intellectual properties. This role requires a strategic thinker who can effectively split their time between two companies, adapting to the distinct needs and cultures of each.

Nitra:

Nitra is changing how providers in the healthcare sector access credit and financial services – addressing an imminent need for modern financial solutions that integrate seamlessly with complex industry processes. Our goal is to provide an ecosystem of fintech and software solutions that help doctors better manage their practices, so they can have time back to focus on what matters to them most. 

Nitra will offer physicians and medical clinics around the country cards, loans, accounts, payments, and expense management products they crucially need, in an all-in-one platform powered by machine learning technologies. 

Nitra was created by unicorn founders who have successfully scaled to thousands of customers and exited $1B public offerings. They are joined by an ambitious and experienced team from American Express, Citi, PayPal, Capsule, Plaid, Bloomberg, Meta, Facebook, and Mastercard. The team is backed by some of the world’s leading VCs (Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, etc.) and is supported by an expert group of advisors including the cofounders of Square and Xendit, executives from Intuit, former Governors, White House senior staffers, and a co-founder of CityMD.

Amber:

Amber is revolutionizing the way electric vehicle (EV) owners experience post-warranty care. Its flagship service, AmberCare, offers a modern protection subscription designed to protect the EV battery and other critical components. Led by industry veterans from Tesla, Metromile, Hyundai and Samsara, and backed by prominent investors like Era, Primer Sazze, Global Millennial, Virta Ventures, and Root and Shoot Ventures, Amber stands at the forefront of the rapidly growing EV aftermarket.

With plans starting at $65 per month, AmberCare is the most advanced and affordable way for EV owners to protect their EV battery and more without long-term contracts and large upfront costs. All plans come with access to the AmberCare Concierge, a virtual "Genius Bar" for EV owners powered by service advisors and technicians with 20 years of combined experience in EV service and AmberCare benefits like roadside assistance and ride share allowance.

Amber is uniquely positioned for success through the development and application of its remote diagnostics technology which allows the company to access critical information such as the vehicle and battery health during the underwriting process. By eliminating fraud, Amber is able to offer the most competitive protection product rates in the industry.
