With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We don't get piloted and shelved. We land once, and spread. We're at an exciting stage of our journey, and growing fast.

We're serving great customers https://dust.tt/customers like Datadog, 1Password, Cursor, Clay, Vanta and Persona, and aim to x5 our growth by the end of 2026.

Dust is backed by Sequoia https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/27/dust-grabs-another-16-million-for-its-enterprise-ai-assistants-connected-to-internal-data/ with a determined team of optimists (coming from Stripe, OpenAI, and Stanford) who like to focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously while doing so. The Generalist named us among the Future 50 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dust-tt_were-honored-to-be-recognized-on-the-generalists-activity-7359284343929741313-Rq04.

SUMMARY

We're looking for an early-career legal professional to help drive how Legal works at Dust. You'll shape and build legal processes and tools, and you'll get directly involved in a broad range of commercial legal matters, working under the supervision of Dust's lawyers. This role combines legal engineering and process improvement with hands-on experience in commercial contracting, including customer, vendor and partner matters. With a view to qualifying as a solicitor, the role may lead to consideration for an England & Wales training contract, subject to performance, business needs, eligibility and formal approval. A training contract is a potential pathway, not a guarantee.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Drive legal engineering and process improvement

- Identify recurring legal bottlenecks and design better ways for the company to get legal support.

- Translate legal rules and approved playbooks into practical workflows, templates, structured guidance and automations.

- Build and improve legal workflows using Dust and other appropriate tools, including intake, contract review and approval processes.

- Test workflows, gather feedback, document how they work and iterate to improve their quality and adoption.

- Build appropriate controls into processes, including lawyer review points, escalation paths and safeguards for confidential information.

Get directly involved in commercial legal work

- Draft, review and prepare redlines for a wide range of commercial agreements, including NDAs, SaaS agreements, MSAs, order forms, DPAs, vendor contracts and partnership agreements.

- Support negotiation and deal execution with Sales, GTM and other teams, including participating in discussions when appropriate and under lawyer supervision.

- Help identify legal, privacy, data protection, security and AI-related issues in commercial matters, and bring them to the right lawyer for review.

- Conduct legal research, prepare issue summaries and help develop practical options for resolving contract questions.

- Progressively take on more responsibility as your experience and judgment develop, while escalating non-standard or higher-risk issues to qualified counsel.

Build the legal team's capabilities

- Help create and improve templates, playbooks, legal knowledge resources and tools that allow the wider company to handle routine work more consistently.

- Use and improve systems that make matter status, contract obligations and key deadlines visible, rather than relying on manual follow-up.

- Work with the General Counsel, Commercial Counsel and external counsel across a varied commercial workload.

REQUIREMENTS

Every candidate and employee's success is measured against the same three dimensions: Aptitude, Attitude and Agency.

Aptitude

- Legal training, such as a law degree, paralegal qualification or equivalent experience.

- Some experience in a paralegal, legal assistant, commercial contracts or legal operations role is helpful. We're also open to strong early-career candidates.

- Clear legal writing, research and issue-spotting skills, with an interest in commercial law.

- Interest or experience in process design, automation, no-code or low-code tools, AI workflows or contract-management systems.

- Business-standard English is required. Business-standard French is a strong advantage, but not essential.

- Willingness to travel to the US or Paris from time to time when required.

Attitude

- Curious and motivated to develop as a commercial legal professional.

- Organised, careful and discreet when handling confidential information.

- A clear communicator who is comfortable asking questions, surfacing uncertainty and taking feedback.

- Collaborative and pragmatic, with a genuine interest in helping colleagues move work forward.

Agency

- Proactively identifies opportunities to improve how legal work is done, then helps design and build the solution.

- Takes ownership of process improvements from problem definition through implementation, testing and iteration.

- Gets directly involved in commercial legal matters and follows them through within the level of responsibility agreed with supervising lawyers.

- Uses judgment to move work forward while escalating decisions that require qualified legal review.

LOCATION

We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris, London, San Francisco, and New York because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together.

We have an office-first culture. Some of the best things about building at Dust are the energy, the fast decisions, and the unexpected conversations that unlock a hard problem, which happen because we are in the same room. Being together is not a formality, it is how we do our best work, and it is something we actively protect.

That said, we hire people with strong judgement and we extend that trust to how they manage their time. When working from home makes more sense for what you need to get done that day, we trust you to make that call.

WHY DUST

The models are powerful enough. What's missing is the product layer where AI meets how companies actually work. That's what we're building: the infrastructure that lets any team turn scattered knowledge and tools into coordinated execution with agents they build, own, and run themselves.

We use Dust ourselves every day. We get to shape how humans and agents collaborate while solving our own problems with the product we ship. That loop is rare, and it's why we move fast.

If you're excited about defining a new category and want to join a determined team of optimists who focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously, we'd love to talk.

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

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.
