Who we are

CloudKitchens helps restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery - our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone. 

We take underutilized properties and transform them into smart kitchens so they can better serve restaurateurs, customers and the neighborhoods they’re in. Every time we launch a new facility we create jobs in that neighborhood, and we’re proud to provide a wide range of cuisines and options for healthy food at an affordable price.

We're changing the game for restaurateurs whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

The Role 

We are seeking a strategically minded and business-oriented lawyer to serve as the primary legal advisor to product teams, providing practical and risk-calibrated advice throughout the product development lifecycle from ideation to launch and iteration. You’ll work directly with product managers, engineers, designers, and business leaders to spot issues early, advise on regulatory risk, and help design scalable, user-centric solutions. You will also support strategic deals and oversee data privacy matters tied to product functionality and data use.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Drive legal input on customer-facing disclosures, terms of service, product policies and new product launches.
• Draft and maintain product-related terms of service, user consents, disclaimers, and legal notices.
• Structure, draft, and negotiate a wide variety of product-related commercial agreements, including co-development agreements, distribution deals, integration partnerships, APIs, and technology licensing.
• Help scale and streamline legal support for repeatable partnership models.

What We’re Looking For

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. 
• Qualified lawyer with minimum 10 years of relevant experience, including time at a top-tier law firm. 
• In-house experience at a technology or product-driven company is highly desirable. 
• Familiarity with legal considerations around product design, digital consumer rights, and privacy-by-design.
• Business-minded with excellent judgment and the ability to balance risk, innovation, and user experience.
• Strong communicator and storyteller with demonstrated ability to build trust across technical and non-technical teams.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and sometimes ambiguous environment.
• Experience or familiarity with U.S. and global privacy regulations (CCPA/CPRA and GDPR), drafting and reviewing privacy policies, internal data use guidelines and data processing agreements, and supporting privacy incident response planning is a plus.
• Ability to review and advise on advertising campaigns and marketing activities is also a plus.

Why join us 

• Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
• Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery. 
• Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

What else you need to know 

This role is based in our Los Angeles office location. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes - and we are doing all these things - we believe we’re better as a team in-person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) are now working from one of our office locations 5 days a week. Looking forward to sharing more about a Career of Substance at CloudKitchens.
