Legal Counsel
Reducto is the agentic document platform for leading AI teams who demand enterprise performance at scale. We provide a comprehensive toolkit for working with documents the way a human would, combining custom in-house and leading frontier models to power efficient and accurate document workflows.
We’ve grown rapidly, increasing revenue 8x year over year and partnering with hundreds of companies, from leading AI teams like Harvey, Vanta, and Scale, to enterprise customers across FAANG and top trading firms.
Reducto has raised over $100M from world-class investors including a16z, Benchmark, and First Round Capital.
The Opportunity
As our first in-house Legal Counsel, you'll play a key role in building the commercial and legal infrastructure that lets Reducto move fast and grow without unnecessary friction. You'll collaborate closely with the founders and go-to-market team to own contracting end-to-end, serve as a trusted advisor across the business, and build the processes and templates that scale with us. This is a high-impact role where you'll shape how legal operates at Reducto from day one.
What You'll Do:
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts across the business, including enterprise customer agreements, MSAs, SaaS subscriptions, DPAs, SOWs, NDAs, and vendor contracts, and create new form agreements where none exist
Run high-value, complex negotiations with large enterprise and strategic customers, including FAANG-scale procurement and security and legal review, to accelerate deal velocity without adding friction
Partner closely with the sales team as a responsive, solution-oriented advisor who helps close deals, not slow them down
Own data protection and privacy in our customer contracts: DPAs, data processing and and data subject requirements
Support the company’s security and compliance posture as it shows up in customer contracts and data protection commitments
Serve as product counsel, advising product and engineering on the legal implications of new AI/ML features as they come up
Build and maintain scalable legal infrastructure: standard templates, a negotiation playbook, approval workflows, and a contract management system
Provide pragmatic legal and regulatory guidance to teams across the company, from early-stage project development through launch
Coordinate IP (trademarks, copyrights) in partnership with outside counsel where needed
Stay current on laws and regulations relevant to AI products, including data privacy, IP, and consumer protection
Manage outside counsel relationships and keep legal spend focused and efficient
You'll Thrive Here If You:
Are an active member of the California Bar, or able to waive in
Have 7+ years of legal experience, combining law firm and in-house experience
Have hands-on enterprise commercial contracting experience, and can run a complex enterprise deal end-to-end without supervision, including against sophisticated counterparties and their procurement and security teams
Hold yourself to a high bar for quality and precision
Are comfortable being the only lawyer in the room and making pragmatic calls independently
Bring a generalist mindset and are willing to tackle problems outside your core expertise
Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams and build trust quickly across functions
Operate well in fast-moving, high-growth environments and can balance attention to detail with the pace of the business
Use AI tools fluently and have a track record of using them to improve efficiency and process
Bonus points if you:
Have prior in-house experience at a B2B SaaS or AI company
Have built legal infrastructure from scratch, including templates, playbooks, and contract systems
Understand how AI technologies intersect with privacy
Have experience navigating international legal and regulatory requirements
