Job description

About Cryptio

We’re Cryptio. We build infrastructure to bring financial integrity to the crypto economy. Our enterprise-grade back-office and data platform power mission-critical accounting, reporting, and operational workflows for institutions, corporates, and crypto-native organisations.

We’re trusted by leaders like Circle, Societe Generale, Uniswap, Gemini, and the Government of El Salvador. We’ve raised $26m from top investors including Point Nine, 1kx, Tim Draper, and Ledger Cathay.

The Role

As our Legal Officer, you’ll be the go-to legal partner across the company; owning contracts end to end, supporting high-impact sales deals, and helping us navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role where legal judgment, commercial awareness, and pragmatism matter just as much as technical expertise.

You’ll work closely with Sales, Finance, Product, Engineering, and People, reporting directly to our Head of Finance.

What you’ll do

• Own the full lifecycle of commercial contracts across our UK, FR, and US entities

• Partner with Sales on enterprise and partnership deals from first contract to signature

• Draft and negotiate MSAs, NDAs, partner, vendor, and customer agreements

• Own the legal components of enterprise RFPs

• Monitor and advise on FinTech and digital asset regulations (MiCA, GDPR, AML, etc.)

• Support product compliance, internal policies, insurance, and corporate matters

• Report to the Head of Finance and collaborate closely across the business

We’re looking for someone who

• Has 3+ years’ experience in a legal role, ideally in FinTech, RegTech, or Enterprise SaaS

• Is confident managing and negotiating B2B and enterprise commercial contracts

• Thrives in complex, regulated environments and gives pragmatic, business-focused advice

• Enjoys working cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, Product, and People teams

• Has a law degree (J.D. or equivalent)

• Has experience with Oneflow or other CLM tools (a plus)

• Speaks French (a bonus)

• Is happy to work from our London office 1–2 days per week

Interview process
