AssistantGeneralCounsel-AI,Privacy&Governance

ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $300M Series E https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-baseten-s-300m-series-e/, backed by investors including BOND, IVP, Spark Capital, Greylock, and Conviction. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten is AI inference infrastructure — we run the models our customers bring, reliably and at scale. That position shapes everything about how we approach AI law, privacy, and regulation. Our customers control model selection, training data, and safety decisions; we comply as the infrastructure layer and as a processor under our DPA. We're hiring an Assistant General Counsel, AI, Privacy & Governance to own that regulatory spine. This is a build role at the intersection of AI regulation, data protection, export controls, and security. You'll be the owner of Baseten's position under emerging AI law, the architect of our privacy program, and the legal partner to Security and Compliance as we pursue and maintain certifications. You'll also be a commercial enabler — supporting Model Labs and partnership deals where these questions are most acute, and pitching in on customer and Sales deals alongside the rest of the team. Your center of gravity is Baseten's regulatory program — AI law, privacy, export, and governance — and that work comes first even as you support live deals. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own Baseten's legal and regulatory positioning under AI regulation — the EU AI Act, U.S. state AI laws, NIST AI RMF, and emerging frameworks - Lead export and trade compliance, including BIS / EAR advanced-computing and semiconductor controls, e
