Senior Counsel, Product & Privacy

About The Position

WEKA is transforming how organizations build, run, and scale AI and accelerated compute workflows with NeuralMesh™, our intelligent, adaptive mesh storage system. Unlike traditional data infrastructures, which become more fragile as compute environments grow and performance demands increase, NeuralMesh becomes faster, stronger, and more efficient as it scales, providing a flexible, adaptable foundation for enterprise and agentic AI innovation that maximizes GPU utilization, accelerates time to first token, and lowers the cost of innovation.

WEKA is a growth-stage company backed by world-class venture capital investors and AI infrastructure industry leaders. Our technology, purpose-built for AI, has garnered over 140 patents and is trusted by more than 30% of Fortune 50 enterprises, as well as the world's leading hyperscalers, neoclouds, and AI innovators. Our team is customer-obsessed and works accountably, boldly, and collaboratively to ensure their success. If we sound like your kind of people, join us!

About The Role

WEKA's General Counsel joined in 2025 as the company's first in-house lawyer, and a Senior Counsel focused on commercial contracting joined earlier this year. We are now hiring our third lawyer to own the product-facing side of the legal function: how WEKA builds and ships its technology, and how it handles data.

This is a true build role. WEKA is at the stage where its legal infrastructure needs to be built for scale, starting with a structured product review process and an upgraded privacy program that can grow with the company. You will build both alongside a hands-on GC rather than inherit a finished system.

You will report directly to the General Counsel and serve as the primary legal partner to Product, Engineering, and Security. Your work will center on two areas:

Product counseling: building and running a risk-tiered legal review process for features and releases, so that Product and Engineering know when to involve Legal and can move quickly on routine launches.
Privacy and data protection: upgrading WEKA's privacy program and building the infrastructure to scale it as the company grows, including the DPAs and security diligence that support customer deals.

You will work closely with the Senior Counsel, who owns commercial contracting and marketing review. You will be the subject-matter owner for the privacy, data, and product positions that show up in customer, neocloud, and partner agreements, and you will provide backup on commercial matters when the Senior Counsel's queue is at capacity. The ideal candidate is a practical, technically curious lawyer who enjoys working next to engineers, builds structure without bureaucracy, and gives clear answers rather than reflexive escalations.

Key Responsibilities

Product Counseling

Build and run a risk-tiered legal review process (light, standard, and deep review) for product features and releases, including an intake form, a launch checklist, and criteria for when Engineering should bring in Legal.
Serve as the primary legal partner to Product, Engineering, Security, and Support for NeuralMesh and WEKApod, from early design through launch and post-launch review, including product terms and EULAs, support and maintenance policies, and end-of-life.
Partner with Product and Sales to develop customer-facing materials on key product and legal topics, anticipate customer questions, and help move deals forward.
Advise on how products collect, process, and access data, including telemetry, diagnostics, and support access.
Review inbound and outbound open-source use in the product and flag potential inventions to the General Counsel, who works with outside counsel on patent and trademark matters.
Counsel on AI governance in product development and business operations, working with IT and other teams to operationalize WEKA’s AI policy and track evolving regulatory requirements.
Partner with Product and Supply Chain teams on export classification and screening considerations for product releases.
