We’re building a new healthcare clearinghouse

Stedi is building the first new healthcare clearinghouse in decades. In the healthcare sector, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires that all insurance payers exchange transactions such as claims, eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and remittances using a standardized EDI format called X12 HIPAA. Clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers. Until Stedi, the space was occupied entirely by a small group of legacy players, built on outdated, often pre-internet technology.

Stedi is the world’s only programmable healthcare clearinghouse. By offering modern API interfaces alongside traditional real-time and batch EDI processes, we enable both healthcare technology businesses and established players to exchange mission-critical transactions. Our clearinghouse product and customer-first approach have set us apart. Stedi was ranked by Ramp as one of the fastest-growing SaaS vendors.

We have lightning in a bottle: engineers and designers shipping products week in and week out; a lean business team supporting the company’s infrastructure; passion for automation and eliminating toil; $142 million in funding from top investors like Stripe, Addition, USV, Bloomberg Beta, First Round Capital, and more. To learn more about how we work, watch our founder Zack’s interview with First Round Capital.

What we’re looking for

We’re hiring an Associate General Counsel with high potential who is excited to grow with the business. Healthcare experience is strongly preferred – lived experience in the regulatory and commercial complexity of healthcare infrastructure, payers, providers, or healthtech is ideal. As the second attorney on the team, you will get to own a broad variety of complex and critical legal matters for a rapidly growing company in a highly regulated space. You’ll work closely with the Head of Legal and regularly partner with company leadership and teams across the business. You’ll also scale and improve the processes and tools that let a lean team move quickly while operating comfortably within our risk profile. If you bring excellent judgment and work ethic, strong writing, and the ability to translate legal expertise into business strategy, we want to talk – especially if you’re eager to use AI and other technology to raise the quality and speed of the work.

What you’ll do

• Be a strategic partner across Stedi, using your legal and regulatory expertise to further our business interests, accelerate deals, and remove blockers.

• Partner closely with the Head of Legal to handle all of Stedi’s legal needs; as the second legal hire for a rapidly growing business with complex and interesting legal work, you’ll have a tremendous opportunity to shape the role.

• Own customer contracting from first redline through signature, working closely with the Head of Legal to automate all but the most complex edge cases.

• Drive payer trading partner agreements and key vendor agreements to close quickly and within our risk profile while maintaining our rigorous compliance standards.

• Serve as Product Counsel for world-class engineers and PMs building innovative offerings in a highly regulated environment.

• Improve, expand, and automate playbooks and workflows.

• Take on new areas based on interest and business needs.

Who you are

• You are bar-admitted and ready to take on a role with broad ownership.

• You have healthcare experience, whether through BigLaw or in-house.

• You can explain complex issues in plain language, write clearly, and communicate confidently with executives, lawyers, regulators, procurement staff, engineers, and everyone in between.

• You are comfortable with high-volume work and shifting priorities, and you maintain high quality through effective systems and habits.

• You thrive in ambiguity, create structure from chaos, and can independently design scalable processes from scratch.

• You have the business acumen to blend legal rigor with strategic persuasion – knowing when to apply pressure and when to collaborate.

• You are relentless and resourceful. You follow up, escalate, and push until the job is done – and you do it with professionalism and integrity.

• You move fast and operate with precision. You thrive in an environment where clarity, accountability, and urgency matter.

The annual compensation range for this role is $250K-325K. For roles with a variable component, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, which means that the range is inclusive of the sales commissions or bonus target and annual base salary. This range may be inclusive of multiple experience levels at Stedi and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, location, and qualifications. Please reach out to your recruiter with any questions.

InterPayments is a San Francisco, CA-based, FinTech SaaS company sitting at the exciting intersection of payments and data intelligence. Our Mission is to empower merchants and the software vendors they use to lower payment processing costs. We create innovative data services that Fortune 1000 companies rely upon to lower fees by putting payments in competition on every swipe.

We empower dedicated team-first individuals who are driven to solve problems to foster innovation, perform at their highest potential, and make a meaningful impact - while creating meaningful relationships along the way.

InterPayments is the industry’s leading Managed Surcharge Provider. We empower merchants, banks, processors, and software platforms to compliantly recover credit card processing fees. Our technology and expert implementation services cover every applicable rule across 70+ state, provincial, federal, and card network jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada, and we stand behind that promise: we prevent, defend, and indemnify our clients against surcharge non-compliance.

Compliance isn’t just a function at InterPayments – it is the product. Fortune 1000 merchants, top-20 banks, and major processors trust us precisely because we take compliance seriously and make it our competitive differentiator. Our mission is simple: every payment should be transparent and fair.

Role

InterPayments is expanding its legal department looking to hire an Associate General Counsel.  Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will have immediate, substantive responsibility across a broad range of legal issues. You will work directly with the commercial team on customer and partner contracts, advise on wide ranging regulatory and compliance matters and various other matters that arise for a growing technology company.  Because compliance is central to everything InterPayments does, you won’t be a spectator: you will be a core contributor to the legal and compliance work that underpins our products and protects our clients.

This role is well-suited for a generalist who thrives on variety, is energized by complex regulatory questions, and wants to help shape a growing legal department.  Attorneys ready to make the transition to a high-impact in-house environment will be well suited to finding success here.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with senior leadership, sales team, and other cross-functional stakeholders to draft, review, and negotiate the full spectrum of commercial agreements, including customer contracts, various partnership agreements and vendor contracts.
• Serve as a core member of InterPayments’ compliance function, advising on card network rules, state and provincial surcharging laws, and federal regulations as they apply to the company’s products, customers and partners.
• Advise business teams on regulatory risk and help develop and maintain internal compliance policies and frameworks.
• Support employment, privacy, and data security matters in collaboration with external counsel where appropriate.

Handle general corporate legal work and ad hoc requests as needed and as issues arise.

What Success Looks Like

• Commercial agreements are handled efficiently and effectively while appropriately weighing customer needs with company risk mitigation.
• InterPayments maintains and expands its position as the leader in surcharging compliance while expanding its offerings and becoming expert in new areas.
• The legal team strengthens its position as an important and value additive part of the sales process, viewed as helpful in getting deals closed, not a hinderance.
• Outside counsel is engaged strategically and cost-effectively.

Requirements

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (New York or California preferred).
• Minimum 5 years of legal experience, with a meaningful portion at a large law firm or in-house for a fintech company.
• Demonstrated experience in payments, fintech, or financial services regulation.
• Strong commercial contracting skills including direct negotiating experience.
• Comfortable operating as a generalist: as a start-up with a small legal team you need to be able to handle a variety of issues.
• Self-starter with strong judgment and the ability to work independently in a fully remote environment

Clear, concise communicator who can translate legal complexity into actionable guidance for non-lawyers

• Experience leveraging AI tools to enhance work product and expedite deliverables

Nice to Haves

• Background in payments regulatory compliance
• Familiarity with card network rules and related regulations
• Experience working with or advising early-stage or growth-stage companies
• Familiarity with privacy law and data security frameworks

Who You Are

• Impact-driven and self-directed, with the ability to work independently and build from scratch
• Team first orientation, collaborative and straightforward to work with, for lawyers and non-lawyers alike
• Structured, logical, and data-driven decision maker that is energized by complex regulatory questions and ambiguity, not daunted by them
• Detail-oriented with a legal mindset, but practical from a business perspective: you know how to balance legal guidance with business advice

Remote pay range

$140,000—$165,000 USD

InterPayments’ core values are the building blocks of how we achieve our mission: Obsess about our Customers’ and Partners’ Needs; Be Relentless, Resilient, and Responsive; Collaborate with Teammates, Customers, and Partners; Act with Integrity and Empathy; Outperform your Potential; and Communicate Honestly and Respectfully.

Remote Work Eligibility:

This position is open to candidates who are located in the United States. All remote roles are limited to U.S.- based residents, and the company does not sponsor visas or employ individuals who require work authorization outside of the United States. Only applicants who are legally authorized to work in the U.S. will be considered.

The Ad Council convenes creative storytellers to educate, unite and uplift audiences by opening hearts, inspiring action and accelerating change.

In this role, you’ll provide day-to-day legal support across a range of campaign and operational needs—from contract negotiation to advising on compliance, advertising practices, and risk mitigation. The work is dynamic and fast-moving, and success requires strong judgment, clear communication with non-legal stakeholders, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with attention to detail.

• Draft, review, negotiate, and revise a wide range of agreements, including master services agreements, statements of work, amendments, insertion orders, vendor and technology agreements, agency and production agreements, and third-party licensing agreements
• Support government-funded and government-adjacent initiatives, including interpreting contractual and regulatory requirements and updating downstream vendor and production agreements as scopes evolve
• Identify, assess, and escalate legal and compliance risks, and provide practical, business-oriented guidance to support compliant execution
• Provide day-to-day legal guidance to cross-functional teams on contracting, approvals, and compliance considerations as campaigns and partnerships evolve
• Partner with internal stakeholders to advise on advertising and marketing practices, campaign creative and talent documentation, and approval pathways
• Support vendor and subcontractor contracting needs as campaigns scale and change

Key Experience Areas

Candidates must have strong experience in at least two of the following areas:

• Advertising and Marketing: Advising on legal issues related to the development, execution, and distribution of campaigns
• Production and Talent: Drafting and advising on production and talent agreements, including performer releases, influencer agreements, and union/non-union talent arrangements (e.g., SAG-AFTRA)

• Data Security and Privacy: Advising on data use, privacy, and security matters, including vendor reviews and data-sharing considerations
• Government and Regulatory Compliance: Advising on requirements tied to government-funded campaigns, including flow-down obligations and applicable laws and regulations

What you bring

• JD with an active license to practice law, in good standing, in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• Ability to quickly learn and advise on new or evolving issues, and pivot as priorities shift in a fast-paced environment
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage high-volume, time-sensitive work
• Proven ability to assess risk and support informed, practical decision-making
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex legal concepts for non-legal audiences

Our client, a publicly traded digital health company leveraging technology and AI to transform care delivery, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist the executives in their search for a Senior Patent Counsel. This role reports to the Associate General Counsel, Product, and will work closely with other members of the Legal & Compliance team, as well as cross-functional stakeholders across the organization — including access to senior leadership.

Our client is seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Patent Counsel who will build and manage the company’s intellectual property portfolio and who is comfortable (indeed eager) to adopt AI tools to help them move faster and more efficiently. As the first dedicated in-house patent attorney, you will take ownership of the company’s growing intellectual property portfolio, moving beyond management to active creation. This role will own patent strategy end-to-end: you will use AI to draft patent applications in-house, drive invention harvesting across the organization, and work closely with outside counsel to secure granted patents. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to build the internal IP infrastructure for a market-leading digital health company, working directly with advanced AI tools, engineers, product managers, and clinical experts to align the IP strategy with the product roadmap  which includes AI-driven care, computer vision, wearable technology and broader aspects of care automation.

Responsibilities include:

• Manage the IP Portfolio: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of the company’s global patent and trademark portfolio. Develop and execute the company’s IP strategy in alignment with business objectives and product roadmap.
• Adopt AI-first mindset and workflows: Leverage AI-powered tools to perform prior art search and prepare initial patent application drafts, to enable faster identification of relevant references and more strategic claim drafting from the outset, significantly reducing turnaround time from invention disclosure to filing.
• Drive Invention Harvesting: Partner deeply with R&D, Product, and Clinical teams to identify patentable innovation early. Lead “idea jam” sessions and manage the internal Idea Disclosure Form process to ensure a steady pipeline of high-quality filings.
• Facilitate the Invention Review Process: Organize and lead monthly invention review meetings to review IDFs, determine filing strategies, and recognize inventor contributions through the Patent Award Program.
• Draft & Prosecute Patent Applications: Serve as the primary drafter for new patent applications, particularly in key technology areas. Respond to office actions and manage prosecution to maximize claim scope and grant rate.
• Facilitate Adoption and Improvement of AI tools: Drive efficiency improvements across the patent lifecycle — from drafting through prosecution and portfolio management — by identifying opportunities to deploy AI; continuously refine and optimize AI prompts and workflows to improve the quality and consistency of generated patent documents, while applying legal expertise to review, edit, and finalize all AI-assisted outputs.
• Manage Outside Counsel: Act as the primary liaison with outside IP counsel. Direct their work on foreign filings and complex prosecution matters, ensuring strategic alignment, high-quality work product and strict adherence to budget and timelines.
• Strategic Counseling: Provide patent landscape reviews, patentability analyses, and competitor monitoring to inform product development and business strategy.
• Support IP due diligence for potential M&A activities. Support product and business development teams with IP due diligence for partnerships, licensing, and strategic transactions.
• Stakeholder Support: Develop and deliver internal training on IP awareness, invention disclosure processes, and trade secret protection. Advise internal stakeholders on IP ownership, inventorship, and related contractual matters (e.g., IP assignment provisions in employment and vendor agreements).

Experience includes:

• J.D. from an accredited law school with strong academic credentials and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar
• Registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
• 5-7 years of experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications, with a strong preference for a mix of law firm and in-house experience.
• Strong technical fluency in computer science, electrical engineering, data science, or a related field, with the ability to understand complex software, AI/ML, and hardware technologies
• Experience managing outside counsel relationships and patent prosecution budgets
• Familiarity with international patent prosecution (PCT, EP, and key foreign jurisdictions)
• Experience using AI tools to enhance and accelerate deliverables
• Experience building or scaling an IP portfolio at a technology, healthcare, or med device/SaMD company, including inventor incentive programs and portfolio management
• Experience with IP due diligence in M&A or strategic partnership contexts
• Excellent communication skills; ability to explain complex legal and IP concepts to non-legal stakeholders (engineers, product managers, executives) in a clear and practical way
• Strategic mindset and ability to translate business goals into a comprehensive IP strategy that balances offensive and defensive needs

The role offers a competitive compensation package, including a base salary range of $216,000 – $324,000, together with eligibility for equity participation. The company also offers comprehensive benefits, including retirement plans with company match, modern life stipends, and support for family and wellness needs. Total compensation is designed to align with the scope and impact of the position.

Internal Legal Counsel

Focus: AI, Infrastructure & Public-Sector Partnerships

Location: Remote - Texas, United States

Department: Operations

Exemption/Classification: Flexible (Fractional/1099/W-2 to Start)

Overview

ThisWay Global, Inc. is an AI-first technology company headquartered in Texas, operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data center infrastructure, and workforce solutions. We move fast, work at scale, and are in the middle of several of the most consequential buildouts in the AI infrastructure space right now.

Our business spans three high-growth areas:

ADCAP — AI & Data Center Acceleration Platform

ADCAP is a full-lifecycle data center development and operations platform that compresses multi-year build timelines from 36 months down to as little as 14 months. We specialize in site planning, subcontractor vetting, contractor management, and AI workload optimization — and we are currently deploying NVIDIA NVL72/GB300 GPU clusters. This is not theoretical; we are actively building.

Amalgamy.ai — AI Orchestration Software

An enterprise AI orchestration platform that maximizes GPU and compute utilization across complex AI environments, serving large-scale enterprise customers who need to extract every unit of performance from their infrastructure investment.

Staffing & Workforce Solutions

Our foundational business — AI-powered talent matching that connects employers with qualified candidates at scale.

Our CEO, Stephan Fabel, is the former Senior Director of DGX Cloud at NVIDIA. We have a real estate subsidiary, RELLIS DC Real Estate Co., executing a ground lease at the Texas A&M RELLIS campus in the College Station/Bryan area. We are entering complex enterprise, institutional, and government partnerships — and we need a sharp legal mind to help us build the function that supports it all.

The Role

This is a ground-floor opportunity. We don’t have a legal department — we’re building one, and you’ll be building it with us. As our first Internal Legal Counsel, you will be a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, not just a contract reviewer. You will sit at the table for the deals that matter — data center ground leases, AI platform enterprise agreements, TAMU and state entity partnerships, vendor relationships, and everything in between.

This role exists to help ThisWay Global navigate legal, compliance, and operational risk as the business scales across AI, HPC, software, infrastructure, and public-sector partnerships. You will own the legal function end-to-end: drafting, negotiating, advising, and evolving our legal infrastructure as the business scales. Success looks like practical legal guidance, strong risk visibility, scalable processes, and a business team that can move quickly with confidence.

This role is expected to evolve into a broader executive leadership function focused on enterprise risk, governance, compliance, and legal strategy. If you’re a talented Texas attorney who has considered a step off the BigLaw path in exchange for equity upside, executive access, and the chance to build something real — this is that role.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team; participate in strategic planning, deal structuring, and business development conversations.

• Provide practical legal guidance across commercial, operational, and organizational matters; support leadership in balancing risk, speed, and business objectives.

• Help build scalable legal and governance processes as the organization grows.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of commercial contracts, including enterprise SaaS agreements, data center services agreements, vendor contracts, NDAs, subcontractor agreements, and custom deal structures.

• Identify legal and operational risks within complex commercial relationships.

• Support evolving partnerships across AI, infrastructure, software, and public-sector initiatives.

Our client, a publicly traded digital health company leveraging technology and AI to transform care delivery, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist the executives in their search for a Senior Patent Counsel. This role reports to the Associate General Counsel, Product, and will work closely with other members of the Legal & Compliance team, as well as cross-functional stakeholders across the organization — including access to senior leadership.

Our client is seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Patent Counsel who will build and manage the company’s intellectual property portfolio and who is comfortable (indeed eager) to adopt AI tools to help them move faster and more efficiently. As the first dedicated in-house patent attorney, you will take ownership of the company’s growing intellectual property portfolio, moving beyond management to active creation. This role will own patent strategy end-to-end: you will use AI to draft patent applications in-house, drive invention harvesting across the organization, and work closely with outside counsel to secure granted patents. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to build the internal IP infrastructure for a market-leading digital health company, working directly with advanced AI tools, engineers, product managers, and clinical experts to align the IP strategy with the product roadmap  which includes AI-driven care, computer vision, wearable technology and broader aspects of care automation.

Responsibilities include:

• Manage the IP Portfolio: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of the company’s global patent and trademark portfolio. Develop and execute the company’s IP strategy in alignment with business objectives and product roadmap.
• Adopt AI-first mindset and workflows: Leverage AI-powered tools to perform prior art search and prepare initial patent application drafts, to enable faster identification of relevant references and more strategic claim drafting from the outset, significantly reducing turnaround time from invention disclosure to filing.
• Drive Invention Harvesting: Partner deeply with R&D, Product, and Clinical teams to identify patentable innovation early. Lead “idea jam” sessions and manage the internal Idea Disclosure Form process to ensure a steady pipeline of high-quality filings.
• Facilitate the Invention Review Process: Organize and lead monthly invention review meetings to review IDFs, determine filing strategies, and recognize inventor contributions through the Patent Award Program.
• Draft & Prosecute Patent Applications: Serve as the primary drafter for new patent applications, particularly in key technology areas. Respond to office actions and manage prosecution to maximize claim scope and grant rate.
• Facilitate Adoption and Improvement of AI tools: Drive efficiency improvements across the patent lifecycle — from drafting through prosecution and portfolio management — by identifying opportunities to deploy AI; continuously refine and optimize AI prompts and workflows to improve the quality and consistency of generated patent documents, while applying legal expertise to review, edit, and finalize all AI-assisted outputs.
• Manage Outside Counsel: Act as the primary liaison with outside IP counsel. Direct their work on foreign filings and complex prosecution matters, ensuring strategic alignment, high-quality work product and strict adherence to budget and timelines.
• Strategic Counseling: Provide patent landscape reviews, patentability analyses, and competitor monitoring to inform product development and business strategy.
• Support IP due diligence for potential M&A activities. Support product and business development teams with IP due diligence for partnerships, licensing, and strategic transactions.
• Stakeholder Support: Develop and deliver internal training on IP awareness, invention disclosure processes, and trade secret protection. Advise internal stakeholders on IP ownership, inventorship, and related contractual matters (e.g., IP assignment provisions in employment and vendor agreements).

Experience includes:

• J.D. from an accredited law school with strong academic credentials and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar
• Registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
• 5-7 years of experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications, with a strong preference for a mix of law firm and in-house experience.
• Strong technical fluency in computer science, electrical engineering, data science, or a related field, with the ability to understand complex software, AI/ML, and hardware technologies
• Experience managing outside counsel relationships and patent prosecution budgets
• Familiarity with international patent prosecution (PCT, EP, and key foreign jurisdictions)
• Experience using AI tools to enhance and accelerate deliverables
• Experience building or scaling an IP portfolio at a technology, healthcare, or med device/SaMD company, including inventor incentive programs and portfolio management
• Experience with IP due diligence in M&A or strategic partnership contexts
• Excellent communication skills; ability to explain complex legal and IP concepts to non-legal stakeholders (engineers, product managers, executives) in a clear and practical way
• Strategic mindset and ability to translate business goals into a comprehensive IP strategy that balances offensive and defensive needs

The role offers a competitive compensation package, including a base salary range of $216,000 – $324,000, together with eligibility for equity participation. The company also offers comprehensive benefits, including retirement plans with company match, modern life stipends, and support for family and wellness needs. Total compensation is designed to align with the scope and impact of the position.

Internal Legal Counsel

Focus: AI, Infrastructure & Public-Sector Partnerships

Location: Remote - Texas, United States

Department: Operations

Exemption/Classification: Flexible (Fractional/1099/W-2 to Start)

Overview

ThisWay Global, Inc. is an AI-first technology company headquartered in Texas, operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data center infrastructure, and workforce solutions. We move fast, work at scale, and are in the middle of several of the most consequential buildouts in the AI infrastructure space right now.

Our business spans three high-growth areas:

ADCAP — AI & Data Center Acceleration Platform

ADCAP is a full-lifecycle data center development and operations platform that compresses multi-year build timelines from 36 months down to as little as 14 months. We specialize in site planning, subcontractor vetting, contractor management, and AI workload optimization — and we are currently deploying NVIDIA NVL72/GB300 GPU clusters. This is not theoretical; we are actively building.

Amalgamy.ai — AI Orchestration Software

An enterprise AI orchestration platform that maximizes GPU and compute utilization across complex AI environments, serving large-scale enterprise customers who need to extract every unit of performance from their infrastructure investment.

Staffing & Workforce Solutions

Our foundational business — AI-powered talent matching that connects employers with qualified candidates at scale.

Our CEO, Stephan Fabel, is the former Senior Director of DGX Cloud at NVIDIA. We have a real estate subsidiary, RELLIS DC Real Estate Co., executing a ground lease at the Texas A&M RELLIS campus in the College Station/Bryan area. We are entering complex enterprise, institutional, and government partnerships — and we need a sharp legal mind to help us build the function that supports it all.

The Role

This is a ground-floor opportunity. We don’t have a legal department — we’re building one, and you’ll be building it with us. As our first Internal Legal Counsel, you will be a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, not just a contract reviewer. You will sit at the table for the deals that matter — data center ground leases, AI platform enterprise agreements, TAMU and state entity partnerships, vendor relationships, and everything in between.

This role exists to help ThisWay Global navigate legal, compliance, and operational risk as the business scales across AI, HPC, software, infrastructure, and public-sector partnerships. You will own the legal function end-to-end: drafting, negotiating, advising, and evolving our legal infrastructure as the business scales. Success looks like practical legal guidance, strong risk visibility, scalable processes, and a business team that can move quickly with confidence.

This role is expected to evolve into a broader executive leadership function focused on enterprise risk, governance, compliance, and legal strategy. If you’re a talented Texas attorney who has considered a step off the BigLaw path in exchange for equity upside, executive access, and the chance to build something real — this is that role.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team; participate in strategic planning, deal structuring, and business development conversations.

• Provide practical legal guidance across commercial, operational, and organizational matters; support leadership in balancing risk, speed, and business objectives.

• Help build scalable legal and governance processes as the organization grows.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of commercial contracts, including enterprise SaaS agreements, data center services agreements, vendor contracts, NDAs, subcontractor agreements, and custom deal structures.

• Identify legal and operational risks within complex commercial relationships.

• Support evolving partnerships across AI, infrastructure, software, and public-sector initiatives.

• Support and lead legal work on ground leases, commercial leases, land acquisition, title review, easements, and real estate transactions tied to data center site development, including our RELLIS campus work.

• Navigate university, state entity, and government procurement frameworks; structure deals that satisfy both institutional requirements and business objectives.

• Advise on employment-related matters, internal policies, and organizational risk.

• Support ISO-aligned operational and compliance initiatives.

• Partner with leadership on governance, documentation, and internal controls.

• Build and maintain our compliance posture across data privacy (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA awareness), AI and technology regulation, and employment law; flag risks before they become problems.

• Help evaluate legal and compliance implications of AI and software deployments; coordinate with technical and operational teams on evolving risk areas.

• Establish scalable legal processes, document templates, external counsel relationships, and internal policies; build the function from scratch.

• Understand our products well enough to translate AI, data center, and cloud infrastructure concepts into precise legal language.

• Help shape a proactive approach to enterprise risk management; identify areas where legal structure, process, or policy can reduce operational exposure.

• Contribute to the organization’s long-term maturity as legal and compliance needs evolve.

• Active Texas Bar License; must be licensed and in good standing to practice law in Texas.

• Texas Residency; must be based in Texas (role is remote-first, but Texas presence is required). Some travel to data center sites and university campuses is expected.

• 5–8 years of experience in a combination of law firm and/or in-house legal roles.

• Experience with ground leases, commercial leases, land acquisition, title review, easements, or comparable real estate transactions.

• Ability to understand AI, data center, and cloud infrastructure well enough to engage meaningfully with engineering and operations teams and translate concepts into legal language.

• Understanding of data privacy, PII, and security-related legal considerations; ability to coordinate on operational safeguards.

• Ability to operate independently without a legal team beneath you at the start.
