About the role

Who We Are

Join us in putting the world’s compute behind the people building what comes next.

At Hyperbolic, we’re making global AI compute liquid. We bring fragmented, heterogeneous GPU capacity together into one unified, productive platform, making it easier to access, sell, resell, manage, and orchestrate the resources that power AI. For neocloud, we turn GPU capacity into productive infrastructure that delivers lasting value and accelerate their time to market.

We believe bold ideas deserve the computing power to become reality. We’re building toward a future where compute flows as freely as electricity, available when and where it’s needed, so builders everywhere can turn their most ambitious ideas into breakthroughs.

We’re looking for curious, driven people who take ownership, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about what they build. If you’re energized by hard problems and want to help shape how the world accesses AI, we’d love to build with you.

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

  • J.D. and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar.
  • 5+ years of relevant legal experience, including commercial technology transactions and meaningful in-house experience.
  • 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.

Hyperbolic is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
