LocalStack is a tool that enables developers to run and test their AWS applications locally, facilitating faster development and reducing AWS costs. By serving as a localized emulator for AWS, LocalStack simplifies the development and testing process, allowing teams to focus on building and deploying applications without the overhead of managing AWS dev accounts. It offers features like local AWS service emulation, enhanced development speed, and reduced complexity in cloud application testing. This makes it a popular choice among development teams looking to improve productivity and efficiency in cloud-based projects, all while minimizing cloud expenses.

📋 Description

• First-line contract review (NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, Order Forms, security addenda, reseller/distributor terms, procurement redlines) is fully owned and no longer dependent on external counsel for standard commercial matters within 90 days. • A working legal intake and prioritisation process — with clear approval thresholds by ARR and risk level — is operational across Sales, Finance, RevOps, and Security within 90 days. • A practical contract playbook with clause library, fallback positions, and hard-no positions is built and adopted by Sales and CS within 6 months, measurably reducing deal cycle friction. • Enterprise deal cycle predictability improves: legal is no longer a bottleneck on standard and mid-complexity enterprise deals by month 6. • Commercial legal infrastructure (templates, self-serve tools, approval matrix, redline standards) is built to Series B/C maturity standards by month 12, with a clear recommendation on whether additional legal ops or contract manager support is needed.

🎯 Requirements

• 5–8+ years PQE, ideally with a mix of law firm and in-house SaaS experience • Strong B2B SaaS / enterprise software contracting experience. • Experience negotiating customer paper, not only company paper. • Strong understanding of SaaS MSAs, DPAs, SLAs, security addenda, procurement terms, marketplace / reseller / partner contracts. • Comfortable with US and international (mainly European) customers. • Practical understanding of GDPR, privacy, data processing, security obligations, and subprocessor concepts. • Strong commercial judgment: knows when to push, when to accept, and when to escalate. • Ability to work directly with Sales, Finance, RevOps, Security, Product, and leadership. • Comfortable in a fast-moving startup / scale-up environment without perfect processes. • Experience creating templates, playbooks, approval matrices, and self-serve processes before. • IP and product-use restrictions — ability to identify and negotiate clauses covering IP ownership, benchmarking, AI/ML restrictions, non-production vs. production use, and product development restrictions specific to developer tooling. • Developer tools, infrastructure, cloud, DevOps, cybersecurity, or technical SaaS background. (preferred) • Experience with AWS Marketplace / cloud marketplaces. (preferred) • Experience with public sector / highly regulated customers. (preferred) • Experience building legal playbooks from scratch. (preferred) • Experience implementing CLM or quote-to-contract tooling. (preferred) • Familiarity operating under US and EU legislation. (preferred) • Exposure to equity, corporate governance, employment, and fundraising. (preferred)
