This is a high-ownership attorney role at an AI-native legaltech startup, sitting at the intersection of legal practice and product development.

- Identify patterns and inefficiencies in the review process, then design and implement improvements.
- Standardize recurring contract types, review playbooks, and quality standards across the team.
- Maintain turnaround commitments and SLA standards without sacrificing quality.
- Partner with operations to evolve how legal services are delivered as the company scales.
What We're Looking For
- J.D. and active California bar membership in good standing.
- 5 to 8 years of law practice with significant experience supporting technology companies.
- Prior experience as in-house counsel or sole legal counsel at a company.
- Strong expertise in corporate, commercial, product, and privacy law; exposure to venture capital and emerging companies is a plus.
- Experience with or genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted legal workflows and legal technology.
- Track record building legal playbooks and standardized processes.
- Impeccable attention to detail with the ability to spot risks others overlook.
