Full Job Description
We are hiring a Product Counsel, R&D / AI to serve as the primary legal partner to Doximity's AI team. You will sit with the engineers, data scientists, and product managers building our clinical AI products - ambient documentation, clinical search and answers, and AI-powered clinician workflows - and help them ship quickly and responsibly. This is a hands-on, high-judgment role for a lawyer who wants to be in the room where AI products are designed, not downstream of them.
As a Product Counsel, R&D / AI, you will:
• Act as embedded counsel to our AI and R&D teams, advising on product design, model development, and launch decisions from concept through release - and owning the most significant legal questions our AI organization faces.
• Advise on health data throughout the AI lifecycle: HIPAA and HITECH, business associate arrangements, de-identification, permitted uses for model training and evaluation, and state health privacy and consent laws.
• Counsel on AI-specific risk, including training data provenance and licensing, third-party model and API terms, output accuracy and reliability, clinical decision support and FDA software boundaries, intellectual property in AI outputs, and transparency and disclosure obligations.
• Draft and negotiate the agreements R&D depends on - data licenses, model and infrastructure provider terms, research and clinical collaborations, BAAs and DPAs, and evaluation and pilot agreements.
• Build the legal infrastructure that lets AI development scale: intake and review processes, product launch checklists, playbooks, self-service guidance, and training for engineering and product teams.
• Partner closely with Privacy, Security, Regulatory, Clinical, Trust & Safety, and Marketing to align on governance for new AI capabilities.
• Track the fast-moving AI and health data regulatory landscape and translate it into concrete, actionable product guidance.
Location: This role is In-Person in San Francisco, CA.
We're excited to meet candidates who have many of the following qualifications:
• J.D. and active membership in the California bar (or eligibility to register as in-house counsel in California).
• Approximately 5-9 years of legal experience, including meaningful in-house time supporting a technology, digital health, or healthcare organization.
• Demonstrated experience as product counsel - embedded with engineering and product teams, advising on features in flight rather than reviewing finished work.
• Healthcare data fluency: HIPAA, business associate relationships, de-identification standards, and the practical realities of working with PHI. Digital health, health IT, or provider-facing experience strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of the legal issues specific to AI and machine learning - training data rights, model licensing, output liability, evaluation and monitoring, and emerging AI regulation.
• Genuine hands-on facility with AI tools, and the technical curiosity to engage substantively with the people building models.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward practical, risk-calibrated advice delivered at product speed.
• Clear, concise written communication and the ability to make legal complexity actionable for a technical audience.
Compensation
The anticipated total compensation for this role is $184,000 - $214,000, depending on factors such as experience, skills, location, and internal equity.
Our total compensation package may include:
• Base salary
• Equity (where applicable)
Specific compensation details will be discussed during the interview process.
