Deputy General Counsel

$249k - $349k

Neros Technologies

Deputy General Counsel

Torrance, California, United States

Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America's drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.

As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We're hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years.

The Deputy General Counsel, reporting to Neros' General Counsel, is the Legal Department's second in command. The DGC is an unusually strong and versatile attorney, capable of ranging across legal disciplines and solving problems with their non-lawyer partners throughout the business. The DGC is also a strategic leader, responsible for helping architect the legal function as Neros grows. But the DGC is also a hands-on builder, for whom no task is too small as long as it serves Neros' goals.

You should have the following:

  • JD and membership in a state bar or the District of Columbia bar
  • At least 8 years of experience in government, biglaw, or a combination
  • Experience advising venture-backed companies
  • A practical, solution-oriented approach to practicing law
  • An ability to translate legal concepts to non-lawyer audiences
  • An ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance
  • A desire to stock the arsenal of democracy and defend the West

Nice to have:

  • Venture financing deals and M&A
  • In-house startup experience
  • Team sports experience

US Salary Range $249,000 – $349,000 USD

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Neros' total compensation package.

We're an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status
