About the Team

Skydio builds flying robots that give people superpowers: every day, a Skydio drone saves a life alongside first responders, prevents a fire or mass power outage, or keeps our soldiers safe. The Legal team is a big part of that, counseling the organization in areas like product, compliance, employment, IP, customer and supply chain agreements, and disputes. We approach the law like practical engineers: understanding constraints and optimizing quickly amidst complexity and uncertainty. We don't just identify obstacles–we design pathways through them, partnering across engineering, product, and business teams to turn legal challenges into competitive advantages. With integrity and ingenuity, we protect the company, accelerate innovation, and ensure every launch soars.

About the Role

We're seeking a Full-Stack Product Counsel to join Skydio's world-class Legal team and own product legal strategy.

In this role, you will work closely with our development, engineering, marketing, and other technical and business teams and will be instrumental in shaping current and future products and ensuring product compliance across verticals at home and abroad.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, who values creativity, autonomy, and collaboration, who loves the product, and who likes to roll up their sleeves, own the outcome, and work shoulder-to-shoulder in the trenches with engineers and execs alike.

• Develop, execute, and own product legal strategy across all products
• Go-to counsel and lawyer for product, engineering, and product development
• Build and foster relationships across the org, from software engineers to execs
• Contribute to Skydio's entrepreneurial culture by exploring fresh ideas, identifying risk areas, and finding smart, creative ways to address them
• Adopt tools and create processes to automate, encourage self-service, and work efficiently
• Become an expert in flying robots

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You hold a JD and are admitted to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• You have 6+ years of in-house experience as a generalist or product counsel
• You are a true Full Stack Product Counsel
• You have experience with both hardware and software
• You know how to triage and ruthlessly prioritize
• You manage multiple projects with competing deadlines, maintaining a high standard of accuracy and follow-through
