The posting

WHO WE ARE

Baton Corporation builds and maintains pump.fun http://pump.fun — the dominant memecoin launchpad, processing $300M+ in daily volume. Last year, pump.fun http://pump.fun generated over $500M in profit with a team of fewer than 100 people.

We ship to production daily. Bureaucracy is minimal. We solve hard technical and go-to-market problems at scale, and we're data-driven — systematic tools and the scientific method decide what works, not opinions.

Working with us isn't for everyone. We work in person. Hours are long and sometimes strange. The pace is intense. Individuals own their function end to end. When we ship a change, it reaches hundreds of thousands of users within days.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Legal Associate to join our graduate programme, offering broad exposure to regulatory affairs, product counsel, compliance and governance. You’ll work directly with decision-makers and take ownership of a defined area within your first year. This is a hands-on role: from day one, you’ll research live regulatory questions, help manage legal matters and contribute to building our legal processes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Support regulatory research on US digital asset law (SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, OFAC) and international frameworks (UK FCA, EU MiCA/DORA, relevant APAC regimes) — and help translate findings into practical guidance for the GC/CLO

- Assist with legal review of product launches, feature changes, and go-to-market materials, working directly with product and engineering teams

- Support drafting, review, and administration of commercial contracts — partnership agreements, vendor relationships, data/API agreements, and enterprise arrangements

- Assist the compliance function with AML/KYC programme documentation, monitoring, and audit-readiness

- Provide research and administrative support on data privacy matters (GDPR, CCPA) as they apply to product design and terms of service

- Support corporate governance administration — board and committee materials, minutes, filings, and record-keeping across US and affiliate entities

- Assist with IP administration, including trademark filings and brand protection tracking

- Provide organizational and research support on regulatory inquiries, litigation, and law-enforcement requests, working alongside outside counsel

- Take on a named area of ongoing ownership within 6–12 months, agreed with the GC/CLO based on demonstrated strength

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- A JD (or equivalent US law degree) — a JD from a top-ranked US law program is a strong plus, though equally strong candidates from other well-regarded schools are encouraged to apply

- Approximately 0–2 years of relevant experience; candidates awaiting bar exam results, or between graduation and admission, are welcome to apply

- Genuine interest in digital assets, fintech, or technology regulation — you don't need prior crypto experience, but curiosity about the space matters

- Strong written and analytical skills, sound judgment, and comfort working directly with non-lawyers (product, engineering, commercial) in a lean, fast-moving organization

- Current or near-term eligibility to work in the United States; progress toward, or near-term intent to sit, a US state bar exam (New York preferred) is a plus but not a prerequisite

- Discretion — the matters this role touches (regulatory posture, product plans, governance) are commercially sensitive EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY Baton Corporation is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, familial status, military or veteran status, citizenship status, genetic information, or any other status protected by federal, New York State, or New York City law, including the New York State Human Rights Law and the New York City Human Rights Law. Reasonable accommodation is available for applicants and employees with disabilities upon request. In accordance with the NYC Fair Chance Act and New York State law, Baton Corporation does not inquire about criminal conviction history prior to a conditional offer of employment, and any such inquiry made thereafter will be conducted in accordance with applicable law. The salary range listed above reflects Baton Corporation's good-faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting, in accordance with New York Labor Law §194-b.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
