About the Role
Serve as the primary legal advisor to product, engineering, and design teams, embedded from concept through launch and iteration. Advise on privacy, intellectual property, financial regulation, and consumer protection for product launches.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary legal advisor to product, engineering, and design, embedded from concept through launch and iteration.
- Advise on privacy and data protection by design, including GLBA and the Safeguards Rule, US state privacy laws, and GDPR for our EU operations; help shape data flows, consent, minimization, and retention.
- Own product intellectual property matters: open-source software license review and compliance (attribution, copyleft, and distribution obligations), and third-party IP clearance for features and integrations.
- Manage trademark strategy and the trademark portfolio, including brand and product-name clearance and filings, and handle other product-related IP issues as they arise.
- Support patent strategy: invention harvesting and disclosures, coordinating filings and prosecution with outside counsel, building and maintaining the patent portfolio, and freedom-to-operate assessments.
- Advise on financial regulation as it applies to features: US money transmission and state licensing considerations, BSA/AML and sanctions touchpoints, and crypto/digital-asset and payments frameworks across the regions we operate in.
- Advise on consumer protection, including UDAP/UDAAP, required disclosures, fee and marketing practices, and user-facing terms.
- Draft and negotiate product-related terms: user agreements, product disclosures, and terms tied to partner and vendor integrations.
- Partner with Compliance, Information Security, Marketing, and Regulatory to align product decisions with our licensing posture and risk appetite.
- Build scalable processes for product legal review, risk assessments, and clear sign-off paths that keep pace with a fast roadmap.
- Track regulatory and enforcement developments that affect the product and translate them into concrete, actionable guidance.
Requirements
- Juris Doctor (JD) degree.
- Active membership in good standing of at least one US state bar.
- 6+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant in-house time advising product teams.
- Experience in fintech, payments, crypto, or another regulated technology environment.
- Working knowledge of privacy and data protection, and of intellectual property as it applies to software products: open-source licensing, trademarks, patents, filings and prosecution, and IP clearance.
- Working knowledge of US financial regulation (money transmission, BSA/AML, consumer protection), and ideally crypto or digital-asset regulation.
- Practical, risk-based style: give clear answers, weigh trade-offs, and be comfortable with ambiguity and speed.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and the judgment to know what to decide and when to escalate.
