The role

We are seeking a Regulatory Counsel to join the Ethics and Compliance team to support our trade controls program across the US and EMEA operations. In this role, you will provide strategic advice on global trade controls, including export controls and sanctions, while also contributing to emerging regulatory challenges affecting AI, cloud, and digital infrastructure (including data center operations).

You will work cross-functionally with product, engineering, sales, and operations teams; coordinate with outside counsel on complex regulatory matters; and have significant latitude to shape our approach to regulatory challenges. We’re a remote-first organization with global team members, so you’ll need to be comfortable working across time zones and cultures.

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Advise on US export control (EAR) and sanctions (OFAC) compliance, as well as EU/UK export controls or sanctions where applicable, for AI cloud infrastructure services, including license exception eligibility and deemed export considerations.
• Provide legal guidance on escalated restricted party screening issues and advise on regulatory risks associated with business partner onboarding and transaction reviews.
• Advise on export classifications, licensing assessments, jurisdiction and classification, deemed export compliance, and foreign national access to controlled technology.
• Advise on export control implications of cross-border technology transfers and access to controlled technical data across US and EMEA jurisdictions.
• Monitor regulatory developments (US, UK, EU, and relevant member-state regimes) affecting technology exports, sanctions regimes, AI systems, and cloud services; assess impact and recommend policy responses.
• Advise on compliance processes, policies, and internal guidance materials; coordinate with outside counsel as needed.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to integrate compliance into business operations; support regulatory incident response, including internal reviews related to potential export controls or sanctions issues.

We expect you to have: 

• JD from an accredited law school and admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (or eligibility to in-house registration); UK/EU qualifications considered.
• 3-6 years of relevant experience. Familiarity with encryption classifications (e.g., License Exception ENC) is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to apply complex regulations to products, services, and business operations and advise on applicable regulatory risks.
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, stakeholder management, and ability to explain complex regulations to technical and business audiences, including working effectively across time zones with globally distributed teams.
• High level of integrity and ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced environment.

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

• Experience in a highly regulated, high-growth, or global technology environment.
• Experience with national security-related technology controls or review processes is a plus.

We are looking for someone business-minded who is forward-thinking, pragmatic, and comfortable with uncertainty.
