Full Job Description
Our customer base is growing fast, from startups on self-serve plans to global enterprises on custom agreements. We're hiring a Commercial Counsel to be the legal partner to our go-to-market team and to keep deals moving without losing sight of risk.

What you'll do
  • Draft and negotiate customer agreements across the book: enterprise MSAs, order forms, API, serverless and renewals and expansions.
  • Own the legal relationship with sales, account management and deal desk. Be the person they call first, and help them close.
  • Negotiate AI-specific terms: IP and output ownership, data use and retention, model-provider flow-downs, acceptable use and content policies.
  • Handle DPAs, security and privacy questions in customer deals, working closely with our privacy and security partners.
  • Support model partner and marketplace terms as the catalog grows.
  • Flex into infrastructure and vendor agreements alongside our AI Infrastructure counsel when the business needs it.
  • Improve our templates, playbooks and approval matrix. Partner with Legal Ops on contract tooling and intake so standard deals get faster every quarter.
What you bring
  • 5+ years of commercial legal experience, including meaningful in-house time at a SaaS, cloud, API or AI company.
  • A track record of negotiating high volumes of enterprise customer contracts, from standard paper to complex strategic deals.
  • Working knowledge of usage-based and consumption pricing models, SLAs, and data protection (GDPR, CCPA, DPAs).
  • A business-partner mindset. You're comfortable owning decisions, not just listing options, and you communicate in plain language.
  • You keep your balance in a fast, lightly structured environment where priorities shift weekly.
  • Active bar membership in good standing (California preferred or able to register as in-house counsel).
Nice to have
  • Experience with AI or ML licensing, model partnerships, or content and media licensing.
  • Exposure to cloud, compute or infrastructure agreements.
  • Experience rolling out or improving contract tooling and playbooks, including using AI to speed up review.
Why this role
  • You'll sit at the center of revenue at one of the fastest-growing companies in generative AI.
  • You'll get real ownership and direct access to leadership, with room to grow as the legal team scales.
  • Meaningful equity in a company growing quickly.
