About The Position

Scale is powering the generative AI wave — from the world-class data fueling frontier AI models and autonomous systems to the enterprise AI applications turning breakthroughs into business outcomes. AI is rapidly changing the world, and Scale is growing to meet that rapid demand. Scale’s Legal team works on exciting legal and commercial issues at the leading edge of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and machine learning technology. This role will support our Physical AI team, which is focused on the next frontier: building general AI that can reason and act in the physical world. You will act as a close business partner to its leadership, negotiate complex agreements and help shape the deal structures and go-to-market approaches that drive this business unit’s continued growth. You will join a creative and solutions-oriented team that collaborates internally with teams at Scale and externally with our customers. We are looking for a relentlessly curious, deliberately open-minded, pragmatic, and action-oriented commercial attorney who can negotiate complex agreements and effectively advise on legal risk — all while being a great teammate. This is an individual contributor role with significant scope and visibility that will run deals from end-to-end, collaborate with high level internal clients, and help shape Scale's commercial legal function as it scales with the business. If you enjoy solving novel and challenging problems and building strong teams and relationships while doing it, we'd love to hear from you!
