• Draft, review, and negotiate technology licensing agreements, integration partnerships, and ecosystem collaboration contracts.
• Develop and maintain product-specific legal frameworks, terms of service, policies, and documentation supporting scalable product launches.
• Advise on open-source compliance strategy and ensure proper governance of licensing obligations across products.
• Support M&A-related product integration activities, including IP diligence, policy alignment, and customer-facing legal transitions.
• Collaborate with Privacy, Security, and GRC teams to embed privacy-by-design principles and manage incident response obligations.

• Strong expertise in product counseling, with deep knowledge of AI/ML, privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA), IP, and open-source licensing.
• Experience advising on SaaS, data platforms, or infrastructure products is highly preferred.
• Proven ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, practical business and product guidance.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• High attention to detail, excellent judgment, and the ability to manage competing priorities in fast-paced environments.
• Bonus: experience with AI regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act or training data governance.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package with a typical U.S. salary range of $250,000-$275,000 USD, depending on experience and location.
• Equity in the company through stock options for all employees.
• Flexible, remote-friendly work environment across multiple countries.
