Corporate Counsel

Austin, Texas

Who We Are

We exist to unlock human potential.

Too often, AI drains it—drains budgets, drains energy resources, drains ownership of data. OpenTeams was founded to change that. We build AI that empowers. Our models are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and fully yours. 

Our ethos is open source. That means freedom, trust, and accountability are built into every line of code. We reinvest 3% of our profits back into the open-source community, because we believe tech is most powerful when it serves everyone.

At our core, we value freedom, teamwork, accountability, and uncompromising quality. If you want to fight Goliath, and shape tools that set people free, OpenTeams is the place to do it.

The Role

OpenTeams Incubator is looking for a detail-oriented and self-driven remote full-time Corporate Counsel to support our expanding organization. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is excited to be part of a scaling tech company.

You will work closely with leadership and will contribute to shaping strategy. This role comprises a mix of corporate governance, M&A, fund compliance, commercial contracting, privacy/data policy, and international issues. It’s a broad role with significant variety. Applicants should reside in the United States and be able to collaborate with co-workers in the US time zones.

The ideal candidate should be able to advise on and prepare corporate documentation related to equity interests (including employee incentive plans, SAFEs, convertible notes, warrants, and cap table management), board and shareholder meetings, and corporate organization and structure.
* Familiarity with the DGCL is particularly beneficial, as most of our entities are incorporated in Delaware.

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
* Familiarity with and the ability to structure M&A activities is helpful for both external acquisitions (several are currently planned) and internal consolidation within the ecosystem to reduce the complexity of our current corporate structure.

* A track record of setting up and managing various investment vehicles.
* Ability to advise on investor relations.
 
Commercial Contracting
* Ability to advise on various types of commercial contracts, including service contracts (both prime and subcontractor), government and private grants, confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, and independent contractor agreements.
* The ability to reshape incoming intellectual property terms and conditions to accommodate and encourage the use of open-source materials when desired.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
