Legal Counsel II
Commercial Contracting, Privacy & Product Compliance

We build the identity verification and onboarding AI that banks, NBFCs, insurers, brokers, telcos and fintechs run their customers through, across India, the US, ASEAN and Africa. Hundreds of millions of verifications, in markets where a regulator is watching each one.
Which means our legal team does not sit downstream of the product. Whether a feature can exist, where the data can live, how long we can keep it, what the model can learn from, those are legal questions before they are engineering questions. We are looking for a lawyer who wants to answer them.

The Role
As Legal Counsel II, you will own commercial contracting and compliance for HyperVerge’s identity AI business and HyperStart, our contract lifecycle management platform. You will be the day-to-day legal partner to Sales, Product, Security, Engineering, Finance and Strategy.
The role is roughly two-thirds contracting and privacy operations, one-third regulatory and product counsel - and the balance shifts toward the second as you build depth.





What You’ll Own
Commercial Contracting
Run NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, order forms, DPAs, SLAs, security addenda and vendor agreements end to end - with enterprise counterparties across India, the US, ASEAN and MEA.
Negotiate directly with counterparty counsel, including large, regulated institutions with entrenched paper.
Own the terms that decide deals: liability and indemnity, data ownership and AI model governance, audit and regulator inspection rights, sub-processing, service levels, exit and transition.
Sharpen the playbooks, fallback matrices and redline standards as you go, so the next deal moves faster than the last one.
Regulatory & Product Compliance
Translate BFSI regulation into product guardrails - RBI’s KYC Master Direction (including CKYC), RBI’s outsourcing of IT services framework, IRDAI’s outsourcing and cyber security norms, SEBI’s cyber resilience expectations and what each of them
