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

  • 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.
