Product Counsel

About the role

Mirage is an AI-native video platform that intelligently orchestrates production and editing through natural language. Our models leverage contextual awareness to execute the same creative decisions a professional editor would — dramatically improving productivity for experienced teams, while making video creation accessible to anyone. We’re an interdisciplinary team addressing some of the most difficult technical and creative challenges in generative media. As an early member of our team, you’ll tackle foundational problems that remain largely unsolved across the industry, driving an outsized impact on the future of creative expression.

Responsibilities

• Serve as embedded counsel for product and engineering, reviewing features, flows, and launches at the pace we ship
• Advises on the hard questions in generative AI and synthetic media: right of publicity, IP and copyright, content moderation, and provenance and disclosure
• Own consumer-facing legal surfaces like our Terms of Service, privacy policy, in-product disclosures and consents, and app store compliance
• Counsel marketing and growth on claims, endorsements, and promotions
• Build lightweight legal processes, such as launch reviews and escalation paths, that enable speed rather than slow it down
• Triage incoming legal matters across the company and manage with relevant stakeholders, including outside counsel when necessary

Requirements

5+ years of legal experience, including substantial product counsel work at a consumer technology company (in-house, or firm plus in-house)

J.D. and active membership in good standing in at least one state bar with an ability to practice in-house in New York. Fluency in the legal landscape of consumer software: privacy (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA), IP, UGC and content issues, and consumer protection

Practical, business-first judgment. You give clear, concise answers and workable paths forward, not memos

Comfortable operating as the only lawyer in the room, with the curiosity to stretch into the unknown

You have experience with generative AI, synthetic media, or similar technologies
