The Role

As Counsel (U.S.) at Telnyx, you will collaborate with the legal team and management to support our global operations and help drive efficiency across diverse squads - growth, vendor relations, recruiting, regulatory, and more.

At Telnyx, we’re scaling a next-generation communications platform, and we’re looking for a legal mind who is not only strong in fundamental legal skills but also eager to embrace technology. Comfort with AI-enabled tools, automation platforms, and evolving regulatory frameworks will be just as important as traditional legal training. This is an opportunity to shape the future of legal at a fast-paced, high-growth company.
