Job Description

We let anyone turn social-media momentum into a token in secords. From a single X (Twitter) reply, a creator can launch a Solana SPL token, discover price via a bonding-curve marketplace inside the iOS app, and “graduate” to deep liquidity on Meteora and other DEXes as the project scales.

&

Since its public relaunch in April 2025, we have:

&

  • Facilitated& 250,000+& token launches and& $370 M& in aggregate market cap.

  • Generated& $6.3 M& in trading fees in a single day (14 May 2025) and shares 50 % with creators.

  • Landed at the nexus of fintech, crypto, creator economy, and consumer mobile—an emerging regulatory frontier.

&

We are backed by top angels and crypto funds, with a product-first culture and headquarters in SoHo, NYC.

&

&

&

Role Overview

&

&

As& General Counsel, you will be the first in-house legal hire and a key member of the executive team, charting our approach to corporate governance, compliance, risk, and strategic partnerships. You’ll translate fast-moving regulatory developments into practical, business-savvy guidance that unlocks growth while protecting users, creators, and the company.

&

&

&

Key Responsibilities

&

Regulatory Compliance Strategy

&

  • Lead U.S. and international compliance across SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, OFAC, NYDFS, and global equivalents.

  • Develop frameworks for token-launch classification (utility vs. security), bonding-curve mechanics, KYC/AML, and consumer-fintech regulations.

  • Monitor legislative trends (e.g., FIT21, MiCA, IOSCO) and brief leadership on risks and opportunities.

&

Corporate Governance Risk Management

&

  • Advise the CEO and Board on governance, equity structure, subsidiary formation, and fundraising.

  • Design and maintain robust internal policies for decision-making, data privacy, IP, and employment matters.

  • Build relationships with regulators, external counsel, auditors, and industry bodies.

&

Commercial Product Counsel

&

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial, licensing, and technology deals—including app-store terms, liquidity-provider agreements, and API partnerships.

  • Partner with Product Engineering on feature reviews, end-user terms, and consumer-protection disclosures.

  • Shape creator-economy revenue-share contracts and token-launch onboarding flows.

&

Litigation Dispute Resolution

&

  • Oversee any civil, regulatory, or class-action matters; manage outside counsel; and drive strategy for favorable outcomes.

  • Establish proactive risk-mitigation programs and incident-response playbooks.

&

&

&

&

What We’re Looking For

&

  • 5+ years& of practice with a heavy focus on crypto/blockchain, fintech, or securities law at a top firm or high-growth tech company.

  • Demonstrated mastery of U.S. securities analysis of digital assets, money-transmitter rules, KYC/AML frameworks, and global regulatory regimes.

  • Proven ability to craft creative legal solutions in ambiguous, first-of-its-kind situations.

  • Exceptional drafting and negotiation skills for complex commercial and token-economics agreements.

  • Startup grit: bias for action, comfort with velocity, and enthusiasm for building processes from scratch.

  • J.D. and admission to at least one U.S. state bar (NY or CA preferred).

&

&

Why us?

&

  • Shape a category: Define the legal playbook for social-token markets before precedent exists.

  • Executive impact: Report directly to the CEO and influence strategy, policy, and product direction.

  • Competitive package: Top-quartile cash compensation, significant equity upside, and comprehensive benefits (medical, vision, dental, 401(k) with match, unlimited PTO).

  • Flexible work style: Remote-first culture with an energizing Soho office for in-person jams, whiteboarding, and team off-sites.

  • Mission-driven team: Join alumni of Meta, Stripe, Coinbase, and Apple.
