About the role
- Be the go-to legal partner for product – work side-by-side with PMs, engineers, and researchers as they design and launch new features.
- Decode the regulatory maze – keep us ahead of evolving AI laws (think EU AI Act, U.S. guidance, global standards) and translate them into practical steps for the team.
- Build guardrails – design policies, playbooks, and compliance frameworks that help us scale safely without slowing us down.
- Spot the risks – advise on data use, IP, bias, privacy, transparency, and all the challenges that come with generative AI.
- Be a culture carrier – help the company live our values around responsible AI and ethical innovation.
- Help navigate the fast-changing AI legal landscape, working alongside multiple functions to keep the company compliant while enabling innovation.
Requirements
- 5+ years of legal experience, ideally with a mix of tech/product counseling and compliance/regulatory work.
- Experience advising on new AI/ML technologies (bonus points for hands-on exposure to generative AI products), privacy, and consumer protection issues.
- Comfort navigating IP, regulatory, and platform liability issues.
- A pragmatic mindset—able to balance risk with speed and innovation.
- Someone who thrives in ambiguity, likes rolling up their sleeves, and wants to help shape both product and company culture.
- In-house startup experience.
- Built or scaled legal compliance programs for new tech.
- Experience with platform regulation.
- Genuine excitement about the potential (and risks) of generative AI.
