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
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.
What You Will Do
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.
Who You Are
J.D. and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar.
5+ years of relevant legal experience, including commercial technology transactions and meaningful in-house experience.
Significant experience drafting and negotiating complex infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise customer MSAs.
Strong understanding of committed capacity, usage-based pricing, SLAs, security obligations, indemnities, liability caps, and termination economics.
Able to compare interconnected supplier and customer agreements, identify mismatched obligations, and develop practical risk mitigations.
Commercial, collaborative, and comfortable making sound decisions in a fast-moving environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience at a neocloud, GPU cloud, public-cloud provider, data-center operator, high-performance computing company, or infrastructure marketplace.
Experience with channel, reseller, marketplace, referral, capacity-sharing, or other non-standard commercial arrangements.
Experience supporting an early-stage company across commercial, corporate, regulatory, and product matters.
Hyperbolic is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
