Artificial Intelligence

VAST Data is the data platform company for the AI era, focused on delivering scalable performance and simple data management to enhance productivity for workload-intensive applications. Founded in 2019, it has become the fastest-selling data infrastructure startup in history, specializing in cloud storage, data storage, flash storage, and universal storage. VAST particularly targets innovations in deep learning, all flash, QLC flash, and NVMe technologies, making it a vital player in the data center architecture and storage solutions market.

📋 Description

• You will be the "legal architect" for VAST’s corporate infrastructure. • Design and implement a best-in-class corporate governance framework to transition VAST from a late-stage private company to a public-market-ready enterprise. • Act as the lead legal counsel for all M&A, joint ventures, and strategic investments. • Manage legal workstreams that identify and manage risk and prepare us for future diligence events. • Partner with Finance and Tax to lead VAST’s international expansion, including entity formation, intercompany agreements, and local regulatory compliance across EMEA, APJ, and beyond.

🎯 Requirements

• J.D. with 6+ years of combined experience at a Tier 1 law firm (Capital Markets/M&A) and in-house at a high-growth, late-stage technology company. • Proven experience navigating the transition from private to public; you have ideally been "at the table" for an IPO or a major multi-billion dollar exit. • Deep expertise in corporate law, SEC reporting, and equity plan management. • Experience managing multinational corporate structures and the "Permanent Establishment" risks associated with rapid international scaling. • Exceptional ability to provide "business-first" legal advice. • You are a builder. You are excited by the prospect of creating a function from scratch rather than just maintaining a pre-existing one.

🏖️ Benefits

• The opportunity to report directly to a CLO at one of the fastest-growing companies in tech. • A "seat at the table" for the strategic transactions and governance decisions that will define the company's future. • A culture of "radical simplicity" and high-intensity innovation.
