Job Description
About AngelList
Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.
The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.
Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.
About the Role
The second problem is deciding which of those fact patterns should never reach a lawyer again. Roughly 2,500 requests a year come through our legal intake. A growing share is handled by rules, templates, and agents the legal team builds, and this seat owns the list of what gets automated next.
We're hiring a Legal Counsel to own fund legal matters across Funds and vFunds and to run our commercial contracts desk. You will also support product work when we have strategic initiatives to launch. This is a hands-on role: you will work daily with Fund Operations, Investor Relations, Compliance, Product, and Engineering, and directly with GPs and their counsel.
