Description

  • Own and grow Chainguard’s international IP portfolio.
  • Lead IP enforcement efforts, including cease-and-desist actions against customers or competitors who violate licensing terms.
  • Serve as a legal resource for open source licensing questions from engineering teams.
  • Advise product teams on licensing, IP, and terms of service considerations during product and feature launches.
  • Draft and review product terms and terms of service for new launches.
  • Advise on licensing issues in partner and joint development agreements.
  • Partner early with product and engineering teams to identify and address legal issues before launch.
  • Build scalable IP processes, templates, and resources as the function grows.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of legal experience with a strong foundation in IP law, including trademark and copyright.
  • Patent experience is a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of open source licensing, including permissive and copyleft licenses such as MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD, GPL, LGPL, and MPL.
  • Familiarity with non-standard licensing models, such as dual licensing.
  • Experience advising on product launches, product roadmaps, product terms, or terms of service is a plus, but not required.
  • Ability to work proactively to protect company IP and reactively when enforcement is required.
  • This is an individual contributor role today with the opportunity to grow into leading the function over time.
  • Strong IP experience may outweigh lighter product counsel experience.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $200,000 to $225,000 USD.
  • Flexible remote-first culture with team meetup opportunities and bi-annual destination summits.
  • Monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone, and internet costs.
  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, with participation in secondary offerings and 10 years to exercise options.
  • 100% covered health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for employees and dependents.
  • Unlimited flexible time off.
  • 18 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents.
