About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

We’re looking for a driven and enthusiastic Senior Product Counsel to join our global Legal team. We’re looking for a sharp, business-minded Product Counsel to build and own our product legal function from scratch.

What you will do
  • Serve as the primary legal advisor to product, engineering, and business teams on all aspects of product development, launch, and lifecycle.
  • Design and implement scalable legal and compliance frameworks pertinent to our business and across jurisdictions.
  • Advise on and operationalize privacy, data protection, and security requirements (including, for example, CPNI, TCPA, state/federal privacy laws, and global frameworks as needed).
  • Guide the business through regulatory ambiguity and novel product issues, providing actionable, risk-calibrated advice.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure legal requirements are embedded in product design, customer experience, and go-to-market strategies.
  • Monitor legal and regulatory developments in telecom, privacy, consumer protection, and payments; translate changes into business impact and compliance actions.
  • Support commercial, IP, and partnership matters as needed.
  • Take on other legal projects as one of our first legal hires—flexibility and a builder’s mindset are a must.
What we are looking for
  • J.D. from a top law school and active bar membership.
  • 5+ years of legal experience, ideally a mix of big law and in-house at a tech, telecom, or highly regulated company.
  • Deep experience counseling product and engineering teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment for a regulated industry.
  • Expertise in privacy, compliance, consumer protection, payments, and advertising/marketing law.
  • Strong working knowledge of IP, commercial, and partnership issues relevant to SaaS and telecom.
  • Demonstrated ability to build legal processes and documentation from the ground up.
  • Excellent judgment, business acumen, and communication skills—able to translate legal advice into practical, actionable guidance.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid change, and rolling up your sleeves to solve new problems.
  • Bonus: Experience with MVNOs, telecom, embedded connectivity, or fintech/payments.  One or more CIPP certifications.
Before You Apply...

The truth is, what we're building isn't easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won’t be the right place for everyone, and that’s okay.

This role probably isn't a fit if:

  • You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work
  • You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative
  • You’re uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats
  • You’re looking for a “big company” setup — we’re still building many things for the first time

But if you’re excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters — we’d love to meet you.

We’re remote-friendly by design, but we also offer hubs for those who need the energy and focus that only in-person collaboration can bring.

  • Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together.

  • Gigs Republic: Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth.
