About the role

We’re looking for a Corporate Counsel to support a broad range of legal matters across the company, partnering closely with teams across business, product, engineering, and leadership. You’ll play a key role in enabling day-to-day operational activities - providing timely, practical legal guidance while helping the company move quickly and responsibly.

This is a highly cross-functional role where you’ll be embedded in the business, not operating as a back-office function. You’ll advise on commercial agreements, support product and regulatory decisions, and contribute to corporate and strategic initiatives. At the same time, you’ll help build the foundational processes, templates, and systems that allow legal to scale alongside the company.

Responsibilities

  • Draft, review, and negotiate customer, vendor, and partnership agreements
  • Develop templates and playbooks to streamline contracting and transactional activities
  • Advisory on product, data usage, privacy, and IP-related matters
  • Partner with engineering, commercial, and product teams to identify and manage legal risks
  • Stay up to date on relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., data privacy, AI governance, industry-specific rules)
  • Assist with corporate governance, entity management, and internal policies
  • Help build internal legal processes that improve speed and consistency

Requirements

  • JD and active bar membership in at least one jurisdiction
  • 3+ years of legal experience (law firm or in-house)
  • Strong foundation in commercial contracts and general corporate matters
  • Experience working cross-functionally with business and technical teams
  • Ability to balance legal risk with practical business outcomes

Preferred requirements

  • Experience with technology, AI/ML, or infrastructure-related companies
  • Familiarity with data privacy (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)
  • Exposure to regulated industries (e.g., energy)

What we offer

  • Competitive pay + equity
  • Stock options let you share in the value you help create
  • Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching
  • Flexible location
  • Work from D.C., Boston, or the Bay Area, with 2 WFH days/week
  • Backed by top investors, including Radical Ventures and NVIDIA
  • Equal opportunity employer
  • Respect for the dignity and independence of people with disabilities
