Job description
fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.
As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.
Our customer base is growing fast, from startups on self-serve plans to global enterprises on custom agreements. We're hiring a Commercial Counsel to be the legal partner to our go-to-market team and to keep deals moving without losing sight of risk.
What you'll do
Draft and negotiate customer agreements across the book: enterprise MSAs, order forms, API, serverless and renewals and expansions.
Own the legal relationship with sales, account management and deal desk. Be the person they call first, and help them close.
Negotiate AI-specific terms: IP and output ownership, data use and retention, model-provider flow-downs, acceptable use and content policies.
Handle DPAs, security and privacy questions in customer deals, working closely with our privacy and security partners.
Support model partner and marketplace terms as the catalog grows.
Flex into infrastructure and vendor agreements alongside our AI Infrastructure counsel when the business needs it.
Improve our templates, playbooks and approval matrix. Partner with Legal Ops on contract tooling and intake so standard deals get faster every quarter.
What you bring
5+ years of commercial legal experience, including meaningful in-house time at a SaaS, cloud, API or AI company.
A track record of negotiating high volumes of enterprise customer contracts, from standard paper to complex strategic deals.
Working knowledge of usage-based and consumption pricing models, SLAs, and data protection (GDPR, CCPA, DPAs).
A business-partner mindset. You're comfortable owning decisions, not just listing options, and you communicate in plain language.
You keep your balance in a fast, lightly structured environment where priorities shift weekly.
Active bar membership in good standing (California preferred or able to register as in-house counsel).
Nice to have
Experience with AI or ML licensing, model partnerships, or content and media licensing.
Exposure to cloud, compute or infrastructure agreements.
Experience rolling out or improving contract tooling and playbooks, including using AI to speed up review.
Why this role
You'll sit at the center of revenue at one of the fastest-growing companies in generative AI.
You'll get real ownership and direct access to leadership, with room to grow as the legal team scales.
Meaningful equity in a company growing quickly.
