About the role
- Luma is looking for a Commercial and IP Counsel to join our Legal team and help scale the company as we train and ship frontier multimodal models.
- You'll work daily with research, applied ML, data, product, and infrastructure teams, and you'll be trusted to make judgment calls in a legal landscape where the case law and regulation are still being written.
Responsibilities
- Partner closely with the sales team to draft, negotiate, and close API and enterprise agreements.
- Build scalable contracting infrastructure - templates, negotiation playbooks, risk-tiering, and a contract lifecycle process - so the business can move at startup speed as deal volume grows.
- Negotiate compute and infrastructure agreements with cloud and GPU providers and agreements with foundation-model or technology partners, including model-hosting, API-reseller, and co-development deals.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience spanning law firm and in-house work, with substantial time on technology commercial transactions and IP.
- Proven track record negotiating SaaS/API agreements, data licensing deals, and cloud/compute or infrastructure contracts with minimal supervision.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with the emerging AI regulatory landscape (e.g., EU AI Act, U.S. state AI laws, content-provenance/disclosure rules) and how it intersects with commercial and IP terms.
- Excellent judgment on balancing legal risk against the pace of a frontier research company - comfortable operating without settled precedent.
- Clear, direct communicator who can explain complex legal and technical tradeoffs to researchers, engineers, and executives alike.
