Role
Who you are
- JD from an accredited law school; active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- 5+ years of focused experience in commercial contracting, ideally in SaaS or technology environments
- Deep experience negotiating:
- Enterprise SaaS agreements and MSAs
- Procurement-driven contracts with large enterprises
- Strong command of core commercial contract terms (liability, indemnity, IP, data/security, SLAs)
- Experience supporting government or public-sector contracts is strongly preferred
- Proven ability to manage high deal volume while maintaining quality and consistency
- Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational and execution skills
- Pragmatic and business-oriented, with a bias toward enabling deals while protecting the company
- Comfortable operating independently as the primary contracts expert in a fast-paced environment
- Collaborative, responsive, and trusted by cross-functional partners
What the job involves
- Reports to: Chief Financial Officer
- Censys is the leading Internet Intelligence platform, empowering security teams to see, understand, and protect everything exposed on the internet
- As we scale our enterprise and public-sector business, we are seeking a Contracts Attorney to own our commercial contracting function
- This is a highly execution-focused role for an experienced contracts attorney who thrives in fast-growing SaaS environments and enjoys operating at the center of deal velocity—balancing speed, precision, and risk in high-impact agreements
- As a Contracts Attorney, you will be the primary owner of Censys’ contracting lifecycle, responsible for drafting, negotiating, and closing customer, partner, and government-related agreements
- You will work closely with Sales, RevOps, Finance, and Security to ensure deals move efficiently while maintaining clear and consistent risk standards
- This role is less about broad legal coverage and more about deep specialization in contracts—you will be expected to operate with speed, consistency, and strong commercial judgment across a high volume of agreements
- Own end-to-end contracting execution across customer, partner, and government agreements
- Draft, review, and negotiate:
- SaaS agreements, enterprise MSAs, order forms, renewals, and amendments
- NDAs, DPAs, security addenda, and procurement terms
- Drive deal velocity by partnering closely with Sales, RevOps, and Finance to remove friction in the contracting process
- Build, maintain, and enforce contracting playbooks, templates, and fallback positions to ensure consistency and scalability
- Identify and clearly articulate key risk areas in contracts, including:
- Liability, indemnification, IP ownership, and data/security obligations
- Support channel, reseller, marketplace, and strategic partner agreements
- Provide targeted support for public-sector and government-related contracts, including:
- Reviewing flow-down terms, compliance obligations, and procurement requirements
- Partner with Security and Product on customer-driven security and compliance requirements within contracts
- Track and improve key contracting metrics (e.g., cycle time, negotiation points, deviation from standard terms)
- Implement process improvements, tooling, and automation to scale contracting efficiency
- Serve as the central point of contact for all contract-related matters, ensuring clarity and consistency across the business
Our take
Censys is the leading provider of continuous attack surface management, as its platform provides the world’s most comprehensive real-time view of global networks and devices. Its market-leading internet datasets and comprehensive certificate database, as well as its integrations with common cloud providers, uncover the hidden links between assets, unknown assets and associated risks, and provides a comprehensive internet inventory.
Some of its customers include Google, NATO, FireEye, Swiss Armed Forces, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and over 10% of the Fortune 500. While the company has been growing rapidly (seeing triple-digit year on year revenue growth) Censys remains focused on accelerating R&D, engineering, and product/sales operations, particularly in Western Europe.
$75 million in funding awarded in 2023 is being used to fund its expansion and consolidate its status as a leading player in global internet infrastructure. Between 2022 and 23, the company enjoyed a 130% annual growth, an upward trajectory that is only set to continue.
