As Compute and Infrastructure Counsel, you will be the primary legal partner to the Strategy and Operations teams, owning the negotiation and execution of agreements that support Reflection's AI buildout.
Responsibilities
- Lead negotiation of large-scale compute and cloud capacity agreements with hyperscalers, neoclouds, and emerging providers — including capacity reservations, minimum commitments, service-level commitments, portability, and exit rights
- Own strategic hardware partnerships with chip, accelerator, server, and networking vendors
- Drive end-to-end legal support for data center and AI factory buildouts — colocation and hosting master agreements, ground and build-to-suit leases, engineering and construction contracts, interconnection agreements, power purchases and utility arrangements
- Structure and negotiate power arrangements: power purchase agreements, tolling agreements, utility service agreements, behind-the-meter generation, and long-term energy and transmission commitments
- Serve as legal lead on strategic infrastructure transactions — joint ventures, site acquisitions, and bespoke financing structures supporting the AI factory roadmap
- Build scalable playbooks, templates, and delegation frameworks so our commercial and infrastructure teams can move at speed without sacrificing rigor
- Partner with Security, Privacy, and Policy colleagues on cross-cutting issues: tenant isolation, customer data flows, sovereign compute, and engagement with regulators
- Manage specialized outside counsel across real estate, energy, hardware, and construction
Skills
- J.D. and active bar membership (or in-house registration) in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- At least 8+ years of relevant legal experience, ideally with a combination of law firm and in-house experience, with a meaningful track record leading complex infrastructure, hardware supply, or cloud/compute transactions
- Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following, and working fluency across the rest: Strategic hardware partnerships and supply agreements (semiconductors, accelerators, servers, networking, or comparable)
- Hyperscaler and cloud capacity agreements, ideally from the enterprise customer side
- Power purchase, utility, and energy contracting
- Data center leases, colocation and hosting, and large-scale buildout contracting
- Comfortable operating independently on fast-moving, first-of-their-kind deals while setting a high bar for quality and speed
- Significant experience managing and directing a deal team and outside counsel
- Sound commercial judgment — you know when to push, when to paper around an issue, and when to escalate
- Clear written and verbal communication; able to translate contractual complexity for non-lawyer stakeholders
- Technical fluency and strong business acumen across compute transactions, project finance, and technology and hardware procurement
- Prior experience at an AI lab, hyperscaler, semiconductor company, or large-scale data center operator
- Exposure to construction, real estate or land use matters
- Familiarity with tax and financing structures for capital-intensive infrastructure
- Government, regulatory, or national-security background, including export controls
