Role Overview

As Product Counsel, you will advise on product and regulatory matters for major parts of the U.S.-focused payouts platform. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Operations from early concepting through launch and growth, providing guidance that is both practical and easy for teams to act on.

What You’ll Do

• Provide ongoing product and regulatory advice for key areas of the payouts platform, with a focus on U.S. requirements.
• Work with cross-functional teams from design through launch and scaling, offering clear legal guidance that can be implemented in practice.
• Help define how products are built and released in a regulated environment by translating payments and consumer-protection rules into product controls, customer terms, disclosures, and internal guidance.
• Support the contracting process as the business grows by negotiating and drafting customer agreements and related terms alongside the commercial attorney, while keeping turnaround times fast and standards consistent.
• Build reusable resources such as playbooks, checklists, and templates to reduce repeat work and help teams move faster.
• Step into broader legal needs when necessary, contributing as a generalist on a small team.

What You’ll Bring

• Four to six years of legal practice experience, ideally combining law-firm and in-house work, with some exposure to technology or fintech settings.
• A solid understanding of U.S. financial regulatory issues tied to payments and money movement, including consumer protection, payment rails, and partner-bank or processor structures.
• Strong product counseling judgment, with the ability to turn uncertainty into workable recommendations and help teams balance tradeoffs.
• Well-developed drafting and negotiation abilities, with comfort handling a steady flow of agreements without over-optimizing for perfection.
• Clear writing skills for memos, decision notes, and internal guidance, plus the ability to build trust across teams in a remote environment.
• A J.D. and an active license to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with banks, processors, card or prepaid programs, or other regulated payments infrastructure.
• Background supporting audits or exams, handling regulator or partner diligence, or coordinating outside counsel on focused matters.

What’s Great About This Role

• Minimal meetings, strong autonomy, and a fully remote setup designed for people who prefer written communication and fast execution.
• High ownership within a small Legal team, with direct influence on product strategy, contracting processes, and regulatory risk management.
• Interesting legal and operational challenges beneath a simple customer-facing product.
• Competitive compensation and equity, with a base salary range of $180,000 to $275,000.
• Comprehensive benefits, including 100% employer-covered health coverage in the U.S., unlimited paid time off, and 12 to 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Remote work available from anywhere in the Americas.
• A strong company culture with more information available in the public handbook.
