Description:

Quincy Data and A Low Latency Microwave Company are seeking an associate-level attorney to join our in-house legal team. We are a profitable, industry-leading fintech firm serving banks, hedge funds and trading firms.

The role presents a unique opportunity to take on a wide variety of projects and responsibilities, with mentorship from our experienced in-house team as well as our cadre of exceptional external counsel. You will also work closely with our business teams, predominantly in Oakland – including client services, finance, business development, and marketing.

Our global in-house legal team is geographically dispersed (from base offices in Oakland and Paris) but works closely together. Your ability to work independently but cohesively with the remote legal team is essential. The Company's geographic reach includes the major financial exchanges in US, Canada, Europe, UK, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, PRC, and India, and is continually expanding.

This position is based in our Oakland office and requires at least 3 days/week working in the office.

Your primary responsibilities will be:

Drafting and reviewing client service agreements, licensing agreements, vendor agreements, and non-disclosure agreements;
Providing practical legal advice and support on business matters to the Company's sales, development, engineering, and management teams;
Managing US corporate governance compliance and maintaining/updating intercompany agreements; and
Collaborating with the legal team and company management on various special projects.

You will have:

JD degree from an ABA-accredited law school or international equivalent.
Active membership in good standing with the State Bar of California or eligibility for registered in-house counsel status.
4+ years of practicing legal experience, preferably with a mix of law firm and in-house experience.
Exceptional organizational skills and a keen eye for detail.
Sound, fundamental writing and analytic skills - you must be able to draft from scratch and review boilerplate language with precision.
Industry experience in telecommunications, financial exchange operations, trading and/or market data distribution is a plus, as is experience in the international markets we serve.
Technical fluency with Salesforce and automating templates is another plus.
