Remote Ai Designer Jobs in Rochester, NY (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: Member of Legal Staff, Commercial Counsel

Job Type: Full-time

Location: Remote (opportunity to work from our SF office)

The Role

We are looking for a high-potential commercial attorney to join our legal team. This person will initially focus on data-licensing agreements, inbound technology transactions, marketing and procurement contracts, and a broad range of other commercial matters.

The ideal candidate has exceptional academic credentials, strong foundational legal training, and a demonstrated ability to move quickly. Experience with intellectual property and data licensing is valuable, but we care most about strong commercial-contracting fundamentals and the ability to work effectively with a broad range of internal stakeholders in a very fast paced, fluid environment.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious attorney who wants to grow alongside a rapidly scaling company. We expect this person to develop expertise in new areas of the business, take on increasingly sophisticated matters, and materially expand their remit as their capabilities and the needs of the company grow.

What You’ll Do

1. Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, with a particular focus on data licensing, marketing, and inbound technology agreements.
2. Support other commercial matters, including vendor agreements, partnership agreements, statements of work, and NDAs.
3. Partner with internal teams to translate legal and contractual risk into clear, business-oriented recommendations.
4. Develop a deep understanding of the company’s products, business model, technical environment, and data flows.
5. Navigate novel legal and commercial questions with limited precedent, exercising strong judgment around when to make a call and when to escalate.
6. Build and improve contract templates, negotiation playbooks, fallback positions, and self-service resources that help the business move faster.
7. Identify opportunities to streamline legal operations through AI-enabled contract review, intake, automation, and knowledge management.
8. Help shape scalable legal processes as the company and its commercial relationships grow in complexity.

What We’re Looking For

1. Juris Doctor (JD) and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar.
2. Strong academic credentials and foundational legal training.
3. Significant experience drafting and negotiating sophisticated commercial and technology agreements, particularly involving data, software, technology, or intellectual property.
4. Excellent legal judgment and the ability to distinguish between theoretical risk and risk that materially impacts the business.
5. Ability to quickly understand technical products, business models, and unfamiliar legal areas.
6. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a high bar for clarity and precision.
7. Strong intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to develop expertise in emerging areas.
8. High ownership and comfort operating independently in a fast-moving, highly asynchronous environment.

Nice to Have

1. Experience at a top-tier law firm focused on technology transactions, commercial agreements, or IP.
2. Experience with data licensing, artificial intelligence, privacy, or data protection.
3. Familiarity with legal issues surrounding AI systems, data rights, permitted use, and emerging technology.
4. Experience working with a venture-backed technology company, AI company, or other high-growth environment.
5. Hands-on experience using AI or automation to improve legal workflows.
