The posting

About the Role

Together AI is looking for a Senior Counsel to help build the legal and compliance foundation behind our AI infrastructure and the products our customers depend on. You’ll work alongside Product, Engineering, Research, Security, Infrastructure, and Sales as the legal partner who helps each team move quickly while keeping risk in view. This role suits a lawyer who wants to build programs in product, privacy, export controls, and patent and licensing strategy, and who is curious enough about inference, fine-tuning, and GPU infrastructure to give advice grounded in how the technology works.

Responsibilities

Product

  • Partner with Product and Engineering early in the lifecycle to shape new inference, fine-tuning, GPU cluster, and platform offerings with legal considerations built in.
  • Draft and maintain customer-facing product terms.
  • Advise on legal issues unique to AI infrastructure: model hosting and third-party model licenses, data use and ownership, and shared responsibility between platform and customer.
  • Build playbooks, templates, and self-serve tools that let the business move fast without legal becoming a bottleneck.
  • Advise on open-source and model licensing (open-weight models, permissive and restrictive licenses, community licenses).
  • Help build and run our patent program: invention disclosure processes, working with Research and Engineering on patentable innovations, managing outside patent counsel, and aligning filing strategy with business priorities.

Privacy

  • Own and evolve our global privacy program across GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and other US state laws, and emerging regimes in APAC and elsewhere.
  • Lead privacy-by-design reviews for new products and features, including those involving model inputs, outputs, logging, and retention.
  • Manage DPAs, subprocessor processes, cross-border data transfer mechanisms, and DPIAs.
  • Track developments in privacy and AI regulation, including the EU AI Act, and translate them into practical guidance for the business.

Compliance & Export Controls

  • Build and operate an export controls and sanctions compliance program suited to a company handling advanced compute and AI technologies.
  • Advise on EAR, OFAC, and related regimes as they apply to GPU access, cloud services, model weights, and customer onboarding, including restricted-party screening, geographic and end-use restrictions, and license determinations.
  • Develop policies, training, controls, and monitoring in partnership with Finance, Security, Sales, and Infrastructure teams.

Requirements

  • A JD and an active bar license in good standing
  • 7+ years of experience at a top law firm and/or in-house at a technology company, ideally cloud, infrastructure, semiconductors, SaaS, or AI.
  • Demonstrated experience advising product and engineering teams and drafting product terms.
  • Hands-on experience with global privacy law and running or substantially contributing to a privacy program.
  • Working knowledge of export controls (EAR/OFAC), ideally including building or scaling a compliance program.
  • Experience with technology and IP licensing, including open-source licenses.
  • Strong judgment, a pragmatic risk-based approach, and the ability to give clear, business-oriented advice.
  • A plain-spoken style that makes legal and technical points accessible to non-lawyers
  • Comfort working independently in a small, fast-moving legal team, with sound instincts for what to own, what to escalate, and when to bring in specialized outside counsel
  • Desire for learning and building with AI tools so you can operate self-sufficiently and at speed

Preferred

  • Experience at a high-growth startup or scaling a legal function from early stage.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML legal issues, such as model licensing, training data, AI regulation, and responsible use.
  • Technical fluency, with comfort discussing GPUs, inference systems, APIs, and cloud architecture.
  • Privacy certifications (CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM)

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.
