Our Mission
At Reflection AI, our mission is to develop open superintelligence and make it universally accessible.

About the Role
In the capacity of our inaugural product & regulatory attorney, you will play a crucial role in constructing and expanding the legal and compliance frameworks that support our open-weight AI model initiatives. Collaborating with research, trust & safety, and data infrastructure teams, you will ensure that our models and data pipelines are developed, launched, and commercialized in alignment with evolving domestic and international AI regulations and public trust standards.
What You’ll Do
Offer legal and regulatory counsel throughout the entire model lifecycle, working alongside product, research, engineering, safety, and operations teams to integrate “legal by design” and “safety by design” methodologies.
Provide guidance on the utilization of third-party, synthetic, and open-source data and models, ensuring adherence to data licensing, provenance, and attribution obligations.
Create and enforce policies for model and dataset publication under open-weights licenses, including governance documentation and frameworks for responsible releases.
Establish and maintain internal policies, guardrails, and playbooks addressing acceptable usage, red teaming, misuse monitoring, adversarial testing, and model deprecation.
Lead cross-functional risk governance initiatives such as release committees, safety evaluations, and escalation procedures.
Advise on model licensing frameworks, open-source guidelines, and downstream usage rights.
Stay abreast of and interpret emerging AI, data, and export-control regulations while advising on global compliance for model development and commercialization.
Supervise and enhance the company’s global privacy program, ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, DPA, conducting DPIAs, and executing privacy-by-design assessments in collaboration with information security and trust teams.
Monitor and inform leadership on trends in AI regulation, safety, and ethics, including proposed legislation, standards, and industry codes of conduct.
Engage in regulatory outreach and external advocacy, including responding to inquiries, participating in consultations, and liaising with agencies on developing AI regulations.
