Job Description

Tempo is a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments, born from Stripe’s experience in global payments and Paradigm’s expertise in crypto tech.

Tempo’s payment-first design provides a scalable, low-cost predictable backbone that meets the needs of high-volume payment use cases. Our goal is to move money reliably, cheaply, and at scale. Our north star is simplicity for users: fintechs, traditional banks, merchants, platforms, and anyone else looking to move their payments into the 21st century.

We're building Tempo with design partners who are global leaders in AI, e-commerce, and financial services: Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, Visa, and more.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Product Counsel to join our Legal team and serve as a strategic partner to our business. In this role, you will tackle a broad range of legal matters across product counseling, regulatory compliance, and crypto-native issues — partnering closely with our product, engineering, and research teams to help the business move fast with confidence.

Responsibilities
  • Providing practical, risk-based guidance throughout the product development lifecycle to our product, engineering, and research teams.
  • Refine and implement compliance frameworks, policies, and procedures to keep the business ahead of evolving requirements and novel issues.
  • Support broader legal initiatives spanning a wide-range of areas including intellectual property, privacy, and other operational needs.
  • Monitor developments in crypto, fintech, and tradfi to advise the business on trends and evolving legal standards.
  • Anything else that needs doing!
Qualifications
  • J.D. and admission to at least one U.S. state bar.
  • 8+ years of legal experience, including substantial time in-house at a high growth tech company and/or crypto project.
  • Deep product counseling experience.
  • Fluency in crypto legal issues, including substantial time advising on regulatory considerations for blockchain developers and networks.
  • Ability to balance legal risk with practical business judgment.
Attributes
  • Strong interest in crypto and technology and enjoys nerding out with technical teams.
  • Collaborative communicator who can quickly translate legal issues into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced working environment with rapidly shifting needs.
  • Highly curious with a growth mindset.
  • Scrappiness; willingness to roll up sleeves and pitch in on things both inside and outside of areas of expertise/job description.
