About xAI

xAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All engineers are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

In this role, you will:

  • Flex your intellectual property muscle to assess best strategies to protect a rocket-ship-speed business
  • Collaborate closely with technical, product, sales, finance, and legal team members to establish legal strategies that align with business objectives.
  • Oversee outside counsel and legal service providers, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective services.
  • Design legal structures and operations to minimize friction and enhance efficiency within the legal department. 
  • Be a swiss army knife: pitch in with precision for anything needed in the legal department, even if it is unfamiliar.
  • This is an in-person role based in Palo Alto, CA that requires up to 25% travel.

Minimum qualifications: 

  • 10+ years of legal experience–ideally through a combination of experience at innovative technology companies and top-tier law firms (startup experience a plus).
  • Prior in-house counsel experience;  commercial, product, IP, and/or regulatory experience highly desirable. 
  • Be hungry to learn about the products and use cases that drive the business.
  • Understand the AI playing field.
  • Have a strong sense of ownership, be inquisitive and enthusiastic about technology, enjoy being continually challenged, and consistently demonstrate sound judgment in navigating complex and ambiguous situations. 
  • Have a love for problem solving.
  • Have great drive to get things done.
  • Have a lot of gas in the tank!
  • Have a JD and license or qualification to practice in CA.
