Patent Counsel

What You’ll Do

• Code-Level IP Harvesting: Dive into our repos and PRs to identify patentable breakthroughs in causal AI and HPC optimization before they are even shipped.
• Build the "Causal Moat": Lead the strategy for protecting our proprietary technology and custom causal algorithms.
• Forensic Documentation: Implement rigorous "defensibility hygiene"—ensuring appropriate timestamps, version-controlled records of invention, and clear human-inventorship trails.
• End-to-End Prosecution: Draft and manage high-quality patent applications, acting as the primary bridge between our technical "magic" and the USPTO.
• Portfolio Strategy: Manage our global IP portfolio, working with our technical experts to decide what to patent vs. what to keep as a trade secret to stay ahead of "generic" AI models.

Who You Might Be

• Technically Lethal: You can read Python/C++ or follow a complex technical architecture diagram. You likely have a degree in CS, EE, Physics, or Math.
• The "Recovering" Specialist: You have 4–8 years of experience at a top-tier firm or in-house. You’re over the partner-track grind and want to be a builder.
• USPTO Registered: You are a registered Patent Attorney (J.D.) or a highly experienced Patent Agent with a track record of winning Section 101 battles in AI/Software.
• Strategic & Fast: You understand that in a startup, speed is a feature. You can deliver high-quality work without the "big law" lag.

We offer a competitive salary, premium health benefits, and meaningful equity that ensures you are a true partner in our success.
