The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Renaissance Technologies is hiring a Family Law Attorney in Santa Rosa, CA.

• Role description

  The next Family Law Attorney at Renaissance Technologies will inherit a general team that respects Analytical Thinking and is allergic to busywork. Boiled down: temporary, $96,000 - $135,000, 3 years of Contract Negotiation, and a seat at the table where Renaissance Technologies decisions get made.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Apply Presentation Skills and Legal Research to solve day-to-day operational challenges
  • Carry the Employment Law thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
  • Turn ambiguous Bankruptcy Law requests into shipped, measurable outcomes
  • Contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce waste

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
  • 3+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
  • 4 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • 5+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • A communicator who can disagree without making it personal

  Ask anyone in Santa Rosa about Renaissance Technologies and you'll hear the same thing: a metrics-driven crew that ships fast and sweats the Bankruptcy Law details. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

  At Renaissance Technologies, you'll find $96,000 - $135,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your Legal Research skills.

  We re-validated this opening today; Renaissance Technologies is still on the lookout.
