Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension).

The Roku Culture
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor.

In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.
We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.

The Roku Culture
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.
We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.

Senior Corporate Counsel
Share this job
Antora builds and deploys thermal energy storage to power always-on industrial operations and data centers with low-cost energy. Factory-built in California, Antora’s thermal batteries deliver reliable and cost-effective heat and power for industrial loads of any size. Antora is electrifying global industry while supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs, lowering costs for energy consumers, and enhancing the competitiveness of American industry.
We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness. We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.
Position Summary
Antora's Senior Counsel will be a foundational member of the company's legal function, reporting to the Chief Business Officer and acting as a trusted partner to the executive team. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role for a lawyer who combines top-tier law firm training with the commercial pragmatism and ownership mentality of in-house practice.
You will own the corporate legal infrastructure — the internal plumbing that keeps the company compliant, protected, and operationally efficient — while managing the "outside counsel supply chain" to ensure Antora receives excellent, cost-effective legal services across specialist domains. You will enjoy exposure to deal-making and project finance (driven by our Chief Business Officer) and corporate finance (partnering with our CFO and CBO) as you build the internal legal foundation that makes everything else possible.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Take ownership of tactical manufacturing, supply chain, and vendor contracts critical to delivering our near term engineering, production and commercial goals.
- Conduct a comprehensive assessment of Antora's outside counsel network — mapping current engagements, spend, and coverage gaps — and begin consolidating toward fewer firms with better rates and accountability.
- Integrate AI tools into your daily legal workflows (contract reviews, first-draft generation, legal research, document analysis, etc.) to measurably increase the speed and volume of work the legal function can handle.
- Support cross-functional compliance needs related to fundraising.
- Become familiar with how we manage our capital stack and execute global project development, and partner with our co-investors in projects, although you may not own these work streams day-to-day.
By month 6–12, you will:
- Operate as an autonomous legal decision-maker across corporate finance and governance, international corporate structuring, IP management (working with outside IP counsel), employment law, tax coordination, and compliance; insourcing work where volume and context justify it, and routing specialist matters to the right outside counsel.
- Have built a rationalized, evaluated outside counsel network with secured volume discounts and clear accountability by practice area.
- Improve AI-enhanced legal workflows as a standard operating model for the function, tracking productivity gains and using those metrics to inform resourcing decisions as the legal team scales.
- Ensure Antora's corporate, compliance, and governance infrastructure best reflect our corporate practices and are diligence-ready.
- Serve as a thought partner to our executive team on legal risk, corporate structure, and operational scaling.
Key Qualifications
- 8–10 years of legal experience, with a strong foundation at a top-tier law firm (5–7 years) followed by meaningful in-house experience (e.g., Assistant GC, Senior Counsel, or equivalent at a growth-stage company).
- Breadth across corporate legal domains: You've touched corporate governance, commercial contracts, LLCA or operating agreements for partnerships, and can manage IP, litigation,employment, and compliance matters (with specialist outside counsel), and vendor management; you're comfortable operating across stakeholders and making judgements about when specialist support is and is not appropriate.
- Hardware / climate tech / energy exposure preferred: Experience with high-capex manufacturing, construction contracts, supply chain agreements, or project-adjacent work is a strong differentiator - You understand the physical realities of building things, and are comfortable operating in a commercial context.
- Financial discipline: You know how to manage legal spend — running RFPs, negotiating fee arrangements, evaluating outside counsel performance, and making hard calls about what to insource vs. outsource.
- AI fluency: You're already using AI tools in your legal practice, or you've been closely involved in AI governance, risk frameworks, or adoption strategy at a firm or company with a serious desire to access AI efficiencies. Antora is aggressively embracing AI and we want a lawyer who embraces AI.
- Poise and autonomy: You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with minimal oversight. You exercise exceptional judgment to make calls independently and know when to access others’ experience - you are able to build trust quickly across a collaborative, engineering-driven culture.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive base salary and equity in a high-growth climate tech company approaching Series C.
- The opportunity to build a legal function from the ground up at a company with a clear path to commercial scale and significant societal impact.
- A seat at the table with a collaborative, mission-driven executive team.
- A respectful and collaborative working environment that values speed, ownership, and intellectual curiosity.
