Work on Future-Defining Technology: Lead on compliance matters for emerging areas like the EU AI Act and DORA, positioning yourself as an expert in next-generation regulatory frameworks

Autonomous Problem-Solving: Own complex legal domains independently; you will not be a junior reviewer, but a trusted advisor driving compliance strategy across the organization

Multicultural, High-Growth Environment: Work with distributed teams across Switzerland, Europe, and the US; collaborate with founders and executives who value pragmatic, business-minded legal thinking

Continuous Learning: Stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field; we support certifications, industry involvement, and exposure to both traditional enterprise law and legal innovation
