Perplexity is AI for people who expect more. More accuracy. More agency. More signal, less noise. Our answer engine handles hundreds of millions of queries every month for people whose questions spark change and whose decisions bend the world toward progress.

Our legal team works side by side with product and business teams. We help the company move quickly, make sound risk decisions, and build legal requirements into products and operations from the start.

We are looking for a practical, versatile attorney to join our Product, Privacy and Regulatory Legal team. You will have a clear center of gravity in consumer protection and a flexible mandate across product counseling, privacy, regulatory matters, marketing, subscriptions, and international expansion.

You will work directly with Product, Engineering, Growth, Marketing, Support, Security, GRC, Policy, and Communications.

The right person can identify the legal issue quickly, learn the product deeply, and give the business a practical path forward. You will own matters independently and help turn recurring questions into clear guidance and durable systems. This role Reports to the Senior Director, Product, Privacy and Regulatory Legal.
