About the role
- think of legal as a way to help the business move faster, not a set of gates
- are comfortable being the whole legal function - doing the work yourself, not just managing it
- are technically curious enough to understand how the product, the data, and open source actually work
Responsibilities
- Own commercial contracting end to end - customer MSAs, order forms, DPAs, BAAs, vendor agreements, and NDAs - and build the playbooks and templates that let the GTM team move fast
- Be the legal partner to Sales, Finance, Product, and Engineering - the person who helps deals close and products ship, on the right side of the risk line
- Manage outside counsel surgically - decide what comes in-house, and keep spend in check
- LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the voice-driven era of computing.
Nice to have
- Open-source licensing / IP experience, or a background in developer infrastructure, real-time/WebRTC, telephony, or AI
- Familiarity with AI governance (EU AI Act) and telecom regulation (E911, STIR/SHAKEN, TCPA)
- You are the kind of person who reads the contract all the way to the end - and quietly enjoys finding the one clause everyone else missed
- The opportunity to shape the brand of a fast-growing developer platform
- Collaboration with a small, senior team that deeply values craft and creativity
- You have deep commercial-contracts experience - enterprise, usage-based, data-heavy - and the judgment to move quickly on risk
- You are fluent in privacy and data protection (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and ideally HIPAA)
- You are a builder and an operator - comfortable as a team of one, writing the playbook, and saying "yes, and here's how"
Compensation
- Competitive salary and equity package
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Flexible vacation policy
- Own corporate and governance work alongside Finance - board consents, equity mechanics, and entity and cap-table hygiene
