Overview
ABOUT THE ROLE
Full job description
ABOUT THE ROLE This is a foundational legal operations role at a fast-growing AI infrastructure company in the reinforcement learning and AI evaluation space. You will build and own the legal operating system from the ground up, combining hands-on contracting work with systems thinking to make legal scalable as commercial agreement volume and complexity grow. WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the end-to-end legal workflow, including intake, prioritization, approvals, escalation paths, document management, and outside-counsel coordination.
- Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements with buyers, data vendors, and partners, including MSAs, SOWs, data licenses, SLAs, NDAs, and vendor contracts.
- Build and refine templates and negotiation playbooks to handle recurring issues like data rights and usage restrictions consistently and quickly.
- Identify opportunities to automate or streamline high-volume legal workflows using software and AI, while preserving human judgment for complex issues.
- Establish clear decision rules for what stays internal, what can be standardized or automated, and what escalates to founders or outside counsel.
- Manage outside counsel strategically to control spend, scope work efficiently, and reserve external lawyers for high-value or specialist matters. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Law degree required (LLB or equivalent).
- 5+ years of experience in legal operations, contracts management, commercial operations, or transactional legal work at a fast-growing technology company.
- Demonstrated ability to draft, review, and negotiate commercial technology agreements, with sound judgment on routine versus specialist issues.
- Experience building or scaling legal operations, contract management, or deal desk functions from an early stage.
- IP law experience, along with familiarity with data licensing, IP-intensive transactions, or businesses where contractual rights tie closely to the product.
- Hands-on experience with US commercial contracting conventions.
- Comfort designing and implementing legal workflows, intake systems, document management processes, and approval frameworks.
- Genuine interest in using legal technology platforms, workflow tools, and AI to scale legal work.
- Strong commercial judgment balancing legal risk against speed, customer needs, and business priorities.
- Experience working independently in fast-paced, early-stage startup environments. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary range: $160,000 to $200,000 USD annually, plus equity and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), commuter benefits, and unlimited access to leading AI tools. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are available for strong candidates. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, CA or Singapore.
