EMCD is a leading technology company in the crypto industry, best known as the largest mining pool in Eastern Europe.

We are expanding globally and building a comprehensive ecosystem of crypto services, including payment infrastructure, custody, mining solutions and enterprise-grade tools for businesses and institutions.

EMCD comprises a complete ecosystem of crypto services built around a top 10 global mining pool (#1 in Eastern Europe).

Responsibilities:

1) Contracts & day-to-day legal support

Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of commercial agreements under supervision/guidance when needed (e.g., NDAs, service agreements, supplier/vendor contracts, partnership agreements, licensing/IP-related agreements, project contracts, logistics/transport agreements).

Maintain contract templates and help adapt them to different jurisdictions (focus on EU/UAE/US and CIS, depending on project needs).

Support contract lifecycle processes (redlines, approvals, signature flow, repository hygiene).

2) Corporate & structuring support

Support incorporation, changes, and maintenance of legal entities across jurisdictions (EU, UAE, US, offshore and CIS, as required).

Assist with preparing and organizing corporate documents (board/shareholder resolutions, powers of attorney, internal registers, basic governance docs).

Help coordinate and track corporate actions with external providers (corporate services, notaries, registered agents).

3) FinTech/Web3 legal support

Support legal work for digital assets, token-related documentation (e.g., SAFE/SAFT-style instruments), and Web3 operational topics (e.g., VASP-related support work, mining pool structures, DAO-related documentation where applicable).

Contribute to legal research and issue-spotting on regulatory constraints for product launches/market entries, escalating complex topics to senior counsel.

4) Compliance & regulatory coordination

Assist with compliance projects: collecting requirements, preparing document packs, supporting onboarding/licensing workflows with regulators or partners.

Help maintain internal compliance/legal policies and procedures (first drafts, updates, version control).

5) Legal operations & risk basics

Support legal risk mitigation by keeping decisions documented and ensuring traceability (emails, approvals, final versions).

Help maintain internal reporting, trackers, and a clean legal document workflow.

6) External counsel coordination

Coordinate external law firms across jurisdictions: requests, document exchange, tracking deliverables, and keeping cost/time under control.

Requirements:

Law degree.

2–4 years of experience in an in-house legal role or a law firm (international exposure is a plus).

Strong comfort working in English and Russian (legal writing, email correspondence, reviewing documentation, joining calls).

Solid foundation in contract law and corporate basics; ability to learn regulatory topics quickly.

Practical mindset: can move matters forward, manage priorities, and keep documents organized.

Comfortable working with distributed teams and multiple stakeholders.

What we offer:

Fully remote work from anywhere in the world with a flexible work schedule;

100% paid sick leave and vacation;

Corporate pricing for company products and the opportunity to set up your own mining farm using EMCD's infrastructure.
