Why work at Higgsfield AI?

Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $700M in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ users worldwide, 10M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands. We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn't just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like.

Who we are looking for

Everyone at Higgsfield is an A-player. We ship 200+ releases a year, serve 25M+ users across the world, and operate at the frontier of generative AI. We're looking for a Product Legal Counsel who can keep up with that speed: a lawyer who finds the path to "yes, and here's how" instead of defaulting to "no." You bring:

High agency and extreme ownership — you embed with product teams, you don't wait for questions to land on your desk.
Speed with judgment: pragmatic, risk-calibrated advice delivered on product timelines, not law-firm timelines.
Genuine curiosity about generative AI and the fast-moving legal landscape around it.
The ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for engineers, designers, and growth teams.
Comfort with ambiguity: many of the questions you'll face have no settled answer yet — you'll form defensible positions where precedent doesn't exist.

What you will work on

Act as the primary legal partner to product, engineering, and growth teams: review new features, models, and launches before they ship, at the pace we ship them.
Own user-facing legal documents: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, community and content guidelines, creator program terms (including Higgsfield Earn), and consumer disclosures across markets.
Advise on intellectual property questions core to generative AI: training data, model outputs, user-generated content, licensing, and copyright risk — and help shape our positions as the law evolves.
Build and refine our approach to content policy and trust & safety: likeness and voice rights, impersonation, moderation obligations, and takedown processes (including DMCA and equivalents).
Advise on privacy and data protection compliance across our global user base (GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable regimes), partnering with engineering on privacy-by-design.
Track and interpret emerging AI regulation worldwide (EU AI Act and beyond) and translate it into concrete product requirements.
Support commercial and enterprise work: review agreements with Fortune 500 clients, partners, and vendors touching the product.
Manage and coordinate outside counsel efficiently where specialist or local-law expertise is needed.
Build scalable legal processes — launch review, escalation paths, self-serve guidance — so legal accelerates the company instead of bottlenecking it.

Your must-haves

Qualified lawyer with 6+ years of experience, including meaningful time as product counsel or technology/IP counsel at a fast-moving tech company (in-house) or advising tech clients at a top firm.
Strong grounding in at least two of: intellectual property, privacy/data protection, consumer protection, content/platform regulation.
Hands-on experience drafting and maintaining user-facing terms and policies for a consumer or platform product.
Proven ability to give fast, practical, risk-weighted advice to non-lawyers in a shipping-focused environment.
Experience working with international/cross-border legal questions for a global user base.
Excellent written and spoken English — you'll draft user-facing documents and advise the team in English daily.

Your good-to-haves

Direct experience with generative AI, ML, or media/entertainment products and their IP questions.
Familiarity with the EU AI Act, DSA, or other emerging platform and AI regulation.
Experience with trust & safety, content moderation, or rights-of-publicity matters.
Experience supporting enterprise SaaS or API commercial agreements.
Additional languages (Russian is a plus for working with the Almaty team).

The deal

Full-time, on-site role in our Almaty office.
Competitive salary in USD.
Opportunity to grow alongside one of the fastest-scaling AI companies globally.
High ownership, fast learning, and meaningful impact from day one.
