About the role

- We are seeking a tech-native Patent Attorney or Senior Patent Agent who wants to trade the billable hour for a seat at the supercomputing table.
- You won't be sitting in an office waiting for disclosure forms
Responsibilities
- Build the "Causal Moat": Lead the strategy for protecting our proprietary technology and custom causal algorithms.
- Forensic Documentation: Implement rigorous "defensibility hygiene"-ensuring appropriate timestamps, version-controlled records of invention, and clear human-inventorship trails.
- End-to-End Prosecution: Draft and manage high-quality patent applications, acting as the primary bridge between our technical "magic" and the USPTO.
- Portfolio Strategy: Manage our global IP portfolio, working with our technical experts to decide what to patent vs. what to keep as a trade secret to stay ahead of "generic" AI models.
Requirements
- Technically Lethal: You can read Python/C++ or follow a complex technical architecture diagram.
- You likely have a degree in CS, EE, Physics, or Math.
- The "Recovering" Specialist: You have 4-8 years of experience at a top-tier firm or in-house.
- USPTO Registered: You are a registered Patent Attorney (J.D.) or a highly experienced Patent Agent with a track record of winning Section 101 battles in AI/Software.
- at Alembic, you are architecting the future of a multi-billion dollar moat from the ground floor.
- If you are tired of the billable hour and ready to apply your legal prowess to a world-class supercomputing stack, we want to hear from you.
Compensation
- We offer a competitive salary, premium health benefits, and meaningful equity that ensures you are a true partner in our success.
