Role
Who you are
- 0-3 years of experience as an attorney (transactional preferred)
- Hold a juris doctor from an ABA-accredited law school
- Hold a state bar license from a state in the United States
What the job involves
- Respond to contract requests and needs from within the organization, including a particular focus on vendor agreements, and with the interops/vendor relations team as “client”, manage and respond to such vendor contract requests and lead such vendor contracts to closing
- With the growth team as “client”, manage and respond to customer contract requests and lead customer contracts to closing
- With the internal requesting party as “client”, manage and respond to outgoing and incoming NDA negotiation requests
- With management as “client”, negotiate and document commercial leases, architect/contractor agreements and development agreements for the company’s offices globally together with jurisdictionally-specific outside counsel where appropriate
- With management as “client”, negotiate and document business life-cycle contracts such as equity and debt financing documents
- Collaborative field ad-hoc commercial contract requests to ensure prompt and efficient unblocking of commercial efforts
- Develop and improve legal processes (including managing third-party subpoena responses) as well as create and update company form agreements
- Research and apply law that applies to the ever-changing business and create documentation and processes to support compliance (e.g. retention policies, security, privacy)
- Maintain, enhance, and when appropriate, replace, legal software tooling
- Effectively and professionally source and manage outside counsel and interact extensively with third parties
- Telnyx frequently has occasion to source and manage outside counsel, both domestically and abroad. In-house counsel will need to regularly perform RFPs among existing and novel outside service providers to ensure quality outside counsel
- In-house counsel will interface with Telnyx lenders and investors and should be prepared to interact as the face and/or voice of the company while maintaining company confidentiality
- Telnyx is a next-generation international communications service provider. A willingness to dig-in on the regulatory side and think critically and creatively about how to ensure we are compliant while simultaneously nimble is essential to continuing to scale. In-house counsel will partner with the General Counsel and management to craft and support these efforts
Our take
As businesses increasingly look to integrate AI into customer interactions, one major challenge has emerged: the underlying infrastructure isn't build for real-time performance. Many companies rely on a patchwork of providers for voice, messaging, and AI, which can introduce delays, complexity and reliability issues. This becomes especially problematic for use cases like voice assistants or automated calls, where even slight latency can disrupt the experience.
Telnyx offers a full-stack platform that combines telephony, networking and AI infrastructure into a single system. In simple terms, it gives businesses everything they need to build and run real-time, AI-powered voice applications without stitching together multiple vendors. Its platform supports things like AI voice agents, programmable calls and messaging, all designed to work quickly and reliably across global networks.
The company now serves over 14,000 customers, processes millions of API requests daily and operates infrastructure across more than 60 countries. Recent recognition from Frost & Sullivan and partnerships likes it deal with Telarus point to growing enterprise adoption too. And as more businesses move toward AI-driven communications, Telnyx is positioning itself as the underlying infrastructure layer that makes those experiences fast and dependable.
