About the role
What You'll Do
Own commercial contracting end to end — customer MSAs, order forms, DPAs, BAAs, vendor agreements, and NDAs — and build the playbooks and templates that let the GTM team move fast
Stand up and run our privacy and data-protection program (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA) for a company built on real-time voice and media data
Be the legal partner to Sales, Finance, Product, and Engineering — the person who helps deals close and products ship, on the right side of the risk line
Own corporate and governance work alongside Finance — board consents, equity mechanics, and entity and cap-table hygiene
Set our posture on the things that are specific to us: open-source licensing and IP, AI governance, and telecom/SIP regulatory questions
Manage outside counsel surgically — decide what comes in-house, and keep spend in check
Who You Are
You have been the first (or one of the first) in-house lawyers at a high-growth tech company, or you are a senior commercial counsel ready to own a function
You have deep commercial-contracts experience — enterprise, usage-based, data-heavy — and the judgment to move quickly on risk
You are fluent in privacy and data protection (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and ideally HIPAA)
You are a builder and an operator — comfortable as a team of one, writing the playbook, and saying "yes, and here's how"
Nice to Have
Open-source licensing / IP experience, or a background in developer infrastructure, real-time/WebRTC, telephony, or AI
Corporate, governance, and equity reps (409A, board consents), and exposure to M&A
Familiarity with AI governance (EU AI Act) and telecom regulation (E911, STIR/SHAKEN, TCPA)
You are the kind of person who reads the contract all the way to the end — and quietly enjoys finding the one clause everyone else missed
