- Partner with the founding team to design scalable legal workflows that drive product adoption and growth
- Provide strategic guidance on US commercial and corporate matters as we scale
What we're looking for
- 5–8 years of experience at a leading law firm for technology companies (i.e. BigLaw) or in-house at a major tech company or high-growth startup
- Expert in commercial law, with deep experience drafting and negotiating contracts and MSAs
- JD and active license to practice law in NYC or SF (non negotiable requirement)
- Based in San Francisco or New York
