Corporate Counsel

WHO WE ARE

Hyperbolic Labs is on a mission to democratize AI by breaking down the barriers to computing power with our Open-Access AI Cloud. By making better use of idle computing resources across the globe, we offer an innovative GPU marketplace and AI inference service that promise affordability and accessibility for all. As pioneers at the intersection of AI and open-source technology, we believe in an open future where AI innovation is limited only by imagination, not by access to resources. We're looking for forward-thinking individuals who share our passion for making AI universally accessible, secure, and affordable. Join us in building a platform that empowers innovators everywhere to turn their visionary AI projects into reality.

ABOUT THE ROLE

• Draft, review, and negotiate MSAs with neoclouds and customers, matching terms across capacity, pricing, timeline, performance, service levels, security, liability, and termination.
• Design a wide range of innovative commercial agreements, including creative deal structures with neoclouds, channel partners, market makers, vendors, and technology providers.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, Finance, and Operations to ensure contractual commitments are technically achievable and financially supportable.
• Navigate an evolving regulatory and compliance landscape, including AI sales restrictions, potential CFTC oversight, SOC 2 & GDPR requirements, and financial-services and data-privacy laws across jurisdictions.
• Lead the company’s response to disputes, litigation, and regulatory inquiries, providing clear and decisive counsel under pressure.
• Advise on corporate governance, fundraising, debt and equity financings, intellectual property protection, and other strategic corporate matters.
• Build contract templates, negotiation playbooks, approval processes, and systems for tracking contractual obligations and risk.
• Manage outside counsel and the legal budget.

Hyperbolic is seeking a high-impact, commercially minded in-house legal counsel to help shape the legal and commercial foundation of our AI infrastructure business.

This is a highly visible role working directly with our founders and leadership team on some of the company’s most important transactions. You will own the agreements through which Hyperbolic secures GPU capacity, brings strategic partners onto its platform, and serves its customers.

A central part of your mandate will be aligning MSAs with neocloud providers and customers to deliver a consistently high quality of service while protecting Hyperbolic from legal, operational, and financial risk. Your work will directly influence how we scale, enter new markets, and build durable relationships across the AI infrastructure ecosystem.
