Dapta is an AI automation platform helping companies across LatAm operate faster and with less friction.
We’re growing fast across LatAm and the US, and we’re hiring our first in-house lawyer to build the legal function from scratch. This role is idóneo for a commercial lawyer who has worked at a tech company or advised startups, understands AI and data, and wants to be a business partner rather than a bottleneck.
About the Role
As In-House Legal Counsel, you will own every legal matter at Dapta: commercial contracts, data privacy, AI compliance, corporate governance and employment. You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product and Finance.

Important: this is a hands-on role. You will draft, negotiate and close deals yourself. You won’t just send work to outside counsel.
What You’ll Do

- Draft, review and negotiate customer agreements (MSAs, order forms, SOWs, SLAs), mostly with enterprise and Scaleup accounts
- Own our contract templates and keep a clear playbook of fallback positions so Sales can close without waiting on Legal

- Draft and negotiate DPAs, security addenda and responses to customer security and privacy questionnaires
- Make sure our AI voice and text agents comply with outbound calling and messaging rules (TCPA in the US, Colombia’s Law 2300 o
