We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market, focusing first on the supply‑chain industry. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e‑commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply‑chain disruptions. What has been a “sleepy” industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy. About the role We are looking for a business‑mindful Corporate Counsel, Commercial to join our legal team as the second attorney, reporting directly to the General Counsel.

This is a high‑impact, high‑autonomy position with a clear path to advancement. The right candidate will help define how autonomous robotic systems are safely deployed at scale, shaping not just Mytra’s risk posture but the emerging legal framework for warehouse robotics and AI‑driven logistics.

Partner with Sales, Partnerships, and Supply Chain teams to advise on deal structure, commercial terms, and risk allocation early in the process. Support strategic partnership negotiations, including co‑development arrangements, system‑integration agreements, and go‑to‑market collaborations.

Lead the evaluation, implementation, and rollout of a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, including workflow configuration, template migration, and user training. Develop internal training materials and conduct cross‑functional education sessions on legal topics most relevant to the business (e.g., contract basics, NDA handling, data‑privacy essentials). Assist in managing outside counsel and contractor relationships, budgets, and work‑product quality for specialized matters. Product & Regulatory Counseling (~20%) Serve as a pragmatic advisor to Engineering and Product teams on regulatory requirements, safety standards, and product‑liability considerations applicable to autonomous robotic systems and AI‑driven products. Monitor and advise on evolving regulatory regimes relevant to robotics, AI, data privacy (GDPR, CCPA), and international trade, including export‑control classifications. Support product launches by identifying legal and compliance requirements and coordinating timely clearance across stakeholders. Intellectual Property & Licensing Review (~5%) Draft and negotiate inbound and outbound software licensing, data licensing, API, and open‑source agreements. Advise on IP ownership provisions in commercial and employment agreements, and coordinate with outside patent and trademark counsel as needed.
