About this role

Join the Stellar Development Foundation as a Corporate and Regulatory Counsel to work on blockchain technology and support the Stellar ecosystem.

Description

Interested in working on cutting-edge blockchain technology and creating equitable access to the global financial system? Since 2014, the mission-driven team at the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has helped fuel the tremendous growth of the Stellar blockchain network, an open-source platform that operates at high-scale today. Developers and companies around the world build on it, and the SDF team is expanding to support the rapidly growing and changing Stellar ecosystem.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

  • Provide corporate/corporate governance counsel:
- Entity Management: Oversee the legal lifecycle of the Foundation and its subsidiaries, ensuring all corporate filings, registrations, and "good standing" requirements are met across all operating jurisdictions. - Corporate Secretarial Duties: Help to maintain official corporate records and serve as an internal governance resource.
  • Provide regulatory strategy and advice:
- Regulatory Analysis: Assist as an internal subject matter expert on the evolving global legal status of blockchain, tokenization, digital assets and decentralized finance. - Interpretive Guidance: Provide high-level legal interpretations of new guidance, interpretation, rules and legislation that impact the Stellar ecosystem’s long-term viability. - Precedent Monitoring: Track and analyze litigation and enforcement actions within the broader blockchain industry to identify emerging legal risks or shifts in "Control" and "Decentralization" definitions.
Requirements

You have:

  • Credentials: J.D. degree and an active member of at least one U.S. state bar.
  • Experience: 5+ years of legal practice, with experience in corporate and regulatory practices, with a familiarity of the areas of law relevant to blockchain. In house experience at a crypto company, a top-tier firm or a major financial institution is especially desirable.
  • Mission alignment: You are motivated by blockchain technology and a desire to promote financial access and you appreciate SDF’s role as a non-profit foundation.
  • Calm and cool: We work in an area defined by fast-paced developments and rapidly evolving areas of law, and some tasks will be easy while others will be challenging. Throughout, we want you to be confident and comfortable…and bonus points for a great sense of humor.

Bonus Points if:

  • Basic crypto savvy. You own crypto, have a wallet and can navigate a few defi protocols!
  • A great sense of humor (we already said that, but we really mean it!)
