Quick Summary

Key Responsibilities

Draft, negotiate, and close commercial agreements across our data supply and demand sides — data licensing, SOWs, NDAs, BAAs, DPAs, and novel arrangements that don't have a template yet.

Requirements Summary

6+ years of relevant legal experience with significant depth in technology transactions and privacy (healthcare/HIPAA/GDPR/CCPA experience strongly preferred). Speed and throughput.

Technical Tools

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.

Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech.

We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI.

About the Role

~1 min read

We're hiring our second attorney: a hands-on counsel who will work directly with the CLO and own a large share of Protege's day-to-day legal work. This is not a narrow specialist seat. On any given week you'll move between a data licensing agreement with a hospital system, a de-identification question under HIPAA, an NDA for a frontier lab, a vendor BAA, and a cross-border transfer analysis — often several of these in the same day.

The two areas where you'll spend most of your time:

Nice to Have

Speed and throughput. You turn documents fast, juggle many matters simultaneously, and know when 80% today beats 100% next week.

Genuine comfort with ambiguity. You're self-directed, you make judgment calls with incomplete information, and you don't wait to be handed a process — you build one.

Fluency with modern tools. Our legal work lives in Slack, Notion, and Google Drive, and we use AI systems daily for triage and drafting. Someone who works exclusively in Word attachments and email chains will struggle here; someone who's tech-native will thrive.

High EQ. You'll counsel colleagues under deadline pressure and negotiate with counterparties across cultures and company sizes. Practical, calm, solution-focused advice is the job. No jargon.

Preferred qualifications — we encourage you to apply if you meet some but not all of these:

In-house experience at a technology company shipping products with novel legal risk, ideally involving AI, training data, or health data.
Experience negotiating data licensing agreements or other data-centric commercial deals.
Familiarity with de-identification standards (Expert Determination, Safe Harbor) and the healthcare data ecosystem.
Experience being an early or solo in-house lawyer — building intake, templates, and outside counsel relationships from scratch.

Pass the Loved Ones’ Test
We act with integrity and do the right thing — especially when it’s hard and no one is watching.

Always Find a Way
We are resourceful, resilient builders who solve hard problems and push through obstacles.

Go Fast and Grow Fast
Velocity matters. We move with urgency, learn quickly, and continuously improve as individuals and as a company.

Practice Kindness and Candor
We communicate directly and respectfully, building trust through honest feedback and genuine care for one another.

Deliver Together
We win as one team. Collaboration, accountability, and shared ownership drive our success.

Own the Outcome. Hone the Craft.
We take pride in our work, sweat the details, and continuously raise the bar for excellence.
