Corporate Counsel
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 24, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 20, 2026.
Unleash AI Innovators, Securely
Software is being rewritten in real time. AI agents are starting to write more code than humans do, at a speed no security team has ever had to match, and that single shift is opening up the biggest opportunity our industry has seen in a decade. We're not bracing for it, we're building the company that owns it.
Snyk is building the next generation security platform where security isn't a set of tools people operate. It's a team of security agents working alongside your engineers, finding, fixing, and governing risk at the speed software is now built. These agents work alongside both the company build and the agents they adopt. Security stops being a queue of work waiting for people, and becomes a coordinated workforce companies direct and trust.
Job Summary
Snyk is hiring a Corporate Counsel to support our Sales, Partnerships, Procurement, and Product teams. You’ll negotiate a broad range of SaaS and partner deals, counsel on product launches, and help shape how an AI security company governs AI. Reporting directly into our Associate General Counsel managing Snyk’s AI governance, strategy, and new product releases, this role is an opportunity for novel work in a cutting-edge space.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional team members from around the globe, including in Finance, GTM, Sales Operations, Product, Marketing, and Procurement. Our approach is pragmatic, customer-focused, and collaborative - your goal is to reduce friction and enable the business and its customers, while maintaining appropriate risk governance.
Ideally, you bring drafting, commercial negotiation, and product counseling skills built in both private practice and in-house roles. However, if you haven’t done formal product counseling but bring strong commercial skills and real fluency with technology, we want to hear from you. Likewise, if you bring exceptional talent from solely private practice or in-house experience, please apply.
What You'll Do:
Drafting, reviewing, structuring, and closing a broad range of commercial and strategic agreements, including SaaS agreements, license agreements, DPAs, NDAs, complex enterprise customer agreements, and partner agreements.
Partnering with Product and Engineering on new launches, including advising on relevant contract revisions, product disclosures, data flows, and customer-facing commitments.
Supporting Snyk’s AI governance through the assessment of models (whether via direct providers or cloud marketplaces), third-party AI applications and tools, and homegrown solutions.
Assisting with Legal efficiency initiatives, including efforts to develop, implement, and enhance processes and playbooks that improve transaction velocity without material increases in risk.
Providing day-to-day legal advice to our sales, partnerships, and procurement teams.
Assisting with data privacy matters.
What You’ll Bring:
4+ years experience in commercial and product counseling in the technology sector, with emphasis on time spent counseling B2B SaaS companies.
Experience in drafting and advising clients on technology-related commercial agreements, including software licensing, strategic partnerships, reseller arrangements, and data processing agreements.
Hands-on experience with, or demonstrated fluency in, AI models and agentic tools.
Curiosity about how our products work, and the conviction that establishing a foundational understanding of our products makes you a better commercial lawyer.
Strong communication skills, especially translating legal concepts to non-lawyers in a clear and concise way.
Strong problem-solving, organizational and project management skills.
To be a proactive, driven, adaptable, team-oriented person who can, with poise and patience, prioritize and balance multiple projects, path-find, and calibrate advice in view of shifting priorities, legal developments, and risk tolerance.
An appreciation for diversity in your day to day, from a fast NDA to a novel AI partnership.
We’d be Lucky if You Have Experience In:
Relevant global privacy laws, including the GDPR and CCPA.
Open source software licensing and compliance.
AI regulation, such as the EU AI Act and emerging US state laws.
Cybersecurity and/or developer tools.
