Product Counsel at AngelList

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building. 

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $171B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 13,000 startups. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.

While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.

AngelList is looking for a sharp, execution-focused Product Counsel to help us build the legal infrastructure for the next generation of private market innovation. Legal innovation is a core strategy at AngeLlist. Our ability to design new legal frameworks has made products like Rolling Funds, RUVs, and Full Service Fund Management possible. Where most legal teams interpret rules, we push the boundaries of what's possible while staying compliant in one of the most tightly regulated industries in the world. 

You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, and business teams to structure and scale new financial tools for GPs, LPs, and Founders. You’ll work on highly regulated, zero-margin-for-error products like fund formation, investor onboarding, capital calls, and data infrastructure—all while helping us shape the regulatory playbook for the private markets of tomorrow. This role reports directly to the General Counsel of Product.

This is not a back-office legal role. We ship fast, and you’ll be expected to keep pace. You should be energized by ambiguity, allergic to boilerplate, and eager to collaborate cross-functionally with operators, engineers, and other lawyers. We’re looking for someone with sound judgment, a high ownership bar, and a track record of independently driving outcomes in complex environments.

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

We operate out of hubs in New York City and San Francisco. For most roles on those teams, we work from the office at least two days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday). Exceptions may be made for exceptional individual contributor candidates in other locations.

The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is 300,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Full details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process.

We support your life both in and outside of work.

At AngelList, we are united in our purpose to accelerate innovation and build the future of private markets. Our beliefs and values shape what we work on and how we create impact. If the below resonate, we’d love to have you with us.
