About the Job

Requirements

  • A law degree (LLB, JD, or LLM) from a recognized university is required.
  • Typically 4–8+ years of relevant legal experience; demonstrable hands-on capability and quality of work are weighted more heavily than title or years alone.
  • Strong practical experience in at least two of the following areas: Legal Tech or AI product work, technology contracting, privacy or data protection, AI governance, cybersecurity legal work, or intellectual property.
  • Ability to independently draft and negotiate technology and privacy documents and explain legal positions in practical business language.
  • Ability to work directly with product, engineering, security, and commercial stakeholders.
  • Fluent Arabic and strong professional English.
  • Must be based in Cairo or able to work hybrid from Cairo, with occasional travel to Abu Dhabi or Dubai (approximately 10–15%).
  • Comfort working in an early-stage, fast-moving technology company with a high degree of ownership.

Responsibilities

  • Support the legal design and continuous improvement of legal AI products, including KenAgent.
  • Translate legal rules and business requirements into structured product requirements, legal workflows, review criteria, playbooks, guardrails, and escalation points.
  • Test and evaluate legal outputs for accuracy, source quality, jurisdiction fit, and practical usefulness; identify hallucination, unsupported citation, confidentiality, and over-reliance risks.
  • Work with product and engineering teams on legal research, contract review, compliance, dispute-support, and other legal workflows.
  • Contribute to legal knowledge-base quality, jurisdiction mapping, and validation of legal sources across the UAE, Egypt, and wider GCC.
  • Help define human-review, transparency, auditability, and accountability controls for AI-assisted legal work.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate SaaS, software, AI, cloud, and professional-services agreements, including MSAs, Order Forms, SOWs, SLAs, DPAs, NDAs, and vendor agreements.
  • Handle technology contract clauses covering scope, acceptance/UAT, change control, service levels, intellectual property/licensing, data use, confidentiality, security, warranties, indemnities, limitation of liability, audit, termination, and exit.
  • Build practical templates, clause libraries, fallback positions, and contract-review playbooks to support fast and consistent execution.
  • Work with commercial and delivery teams to reduce scope ambiguity, control delivery risk, and maintain clear responsibility lines.
  • Advise on privacy and data-protection requirements affecting products, contracting, and operations, primarily in the UAE, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
  • Draft and negotiate DPAs, controller/processor clauses, data-sharing terms, sub-processor provisions, and cross-border transfer language.
  • Support DPIA-style assessments, privacy-by-design, retention, breach-response, and data-governance questions.
  • Use GDPR as an enterprise contracting reference point where relevant while applying local legal requirements.
  • Draft practical AI governance policies, customer addendums, and internal controls covering acceptable use, transparency, human oversight, data use, logging/traceability, and safe-use responsibilities.
  • Translate cybersecurity and trust requirements into clear contract commitments, including incident/breach terms, audit rights, security schedules, access-control, and encryption obligations.
  • Support customer/vendor due diligence and security questionnaires with technical teams, ensuring legal commitments match actual controls.
  • Support intellectual property ownership, licensing, software/content rights, trademarks, confidentiality, and data-use rights relevant to products and commercial relationships.
  • Support corporate governance and cross-entity matters where required, including approvals, delegations, and board/shareholder documentation.
  • Provide practical support on employment, vendor, and general commercial matters, coordinating with local or specialist counsel where deeper tax, labour, or regulatory expertise is required.

Desired Qualifications

  • Bar admission or a recognized professional legal qualification is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with a Legal Tech, AI, SaaS, cloud, fintech, or other technology product company.
  • Experience converting legal requirements into product workflows, review logic, policies, controls, playbooks, or evaluation criteria.
  • Practical experience with AI/GenAI governance, model/output risk, legal research validation, or human-review controls.
  • Privacy or AI-governance credentials (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPM, or AIGP) or equivalent demonstrable capability.
  • Working familiarity with enterprise trust frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, and ISO/IEC 27701.
  • Experience handling enterprise customer security/privacy due diligence and contract negotiations.
