Job description

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human-level intelligence. Our robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA and requires 5 days/week of in-office collaboration.

We are looking for a business-first attorney who treats legal drafting as an engineering challenge rather than an academic exercise, and a "full-stack" commercial expert who is equally comfortable negotiating a global robotics supply chain as you are architecting complex AI data licensing structures.

Figure’s vision is to deploy autonomous humanoids at a global scale. The ideal candidate is detail oriented who can operationalize our legal department and excel at transforming manual processes into automated, reliable systems that support Figure’s mission.

Responsibilities

GPU & AI Infrastructure: Lead high-stakes negotiations and procurement agreements for global data center capacity, GPU compute, and complex technology licenses.
Data Collection & Privacy: Define our legal strategy for AI training data. Structure novel agreements for real-world data collection and ownership, ensuring Figure strictly controls its proprietary datasets while navigating global privacy regimes.
Global Supply Chain & Hardware Procurement: Act as the legal lead for manufacturing, distribution, and vendor agreements. Navigate international trade and Asian supplier ecosystems to secure physical components, lock in supply continuity, and protect our IP.
Strategic Commercial Advising: Deliver clear, actionable counsel on outbound partnerships, IP rights, and emerging robotics regulations. As an early team member, pitch in on general corporate, litigation, and transactional matters as needed.

Requirements

Experience: 4-7+ years of relevant legal experience at a top-ranked law firm. A combination of law firm and in-house experience at a high-growth startup or tech leader is preferred.
Education: J.D. from a top accredited law school and active membership in good standing with the California Bar (or ability to register as In-House Counsel).
Drafting & Negotiation: Proven ability to independently draft and lead negotiations for "first-of-their-kind" agreements in the AI, robotics, and hardware spaces
Communication: Ability to frame complex legal issues succinctly for executive leadership, providing clear "go/no-go" recommendations rather than open-ended legal memos.

Bonus qualifications

Privacy & Data Mastery: CIPP/US or other CIPP certifications; experience drafting and negotiating data processing agreements and agreements for data collection in AI contexts
Manufacturing Background: Prior experience in a hardware-focused environment with a deep understanding of supply chain regulatory regimes.

Compensation

The US annual base salary range for this position is between $225-$300,000

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits (including equity) depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
