Regulatory Synthesis Lead - San Francisco - Nashville Public Radio
Description
Ciph Lab | Remote | Equity-Only (Pre-Seed)The experience expected from applicants, as well as additional skills and qualifications needed for this job are listed below.
About Ciph Lab
Ciph Lab is building Intelligence Resources—software that operationalizes responsible AI governance at scale. We're a 4-month-old AI governance company, AI-first and remote-first, transitioning from consultancy to agents and SaaS platform.
The regulatory landscape for AI is shifting constantly—new laws, amendments, sector-specific mandates across jurisdictions. Traditional compliance approaches can't keep pace. We're building adaptive governance systems that evolve as regulations change.
The OpportunityWe're seeking a Regulatory Synthesis Lead (JD required) to join our founding research team. This isn't traditional corporate legal work—you'll be designing systems that scale legal expertise and building compliance infrastructure that adapts automatically to regulatory changes.
You'll translate complex AI regulations into operational frameworks that enterprises can actually implement, while building monitoring systems that keep those frameworks current as laws evolve.
This is a founding research role with equity ownership in defining how organizations approach AI governance legally.
What You'll DoLegal Research & Framework Design:
Building Adaptive Systems:
Thought Leadership:
Required:
Critical Attributes:
Not your typical legal role:
High autonomy, flexible structure:
Time: 5-10 hours/week + 1 hour weekly meeting
Structure: Part-time, flexible, remote
Compensation: 0.5-2% equity (4-year vest, 1-year cliff)
Stage: Pre-seed, no current funding
This role is for someone who:
First 30 days: Audit existing frameworks, identify regulatory gaps, propose research roadmap
First 90 days: Deliver regulatory mapping, design monitoring strategy, begin system design with technical team
Ongoing: Keep frameworks compliant, contribute thought leadership, position Ciph Lab as leader in AI governance law
Why This MattersMost AI governance is performative—checked boxes without real risk reduction. We're building frameworks that actually work: legally defensible, technically implementable, operationally practical.
As regulatory landscapes shift (and they will), organizations need systems that adapt responsibly. Your work ensures that happens.
You'll help define what "legally compliant AI" means in practice.
