ABOUT DISTYL AI

Distyl is an applied AI technology company partnering with the world’s most ambitious institutions to rearchitect critical operations for the frontier of AI. Our customers include the largest companies in telecom, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, consumer goods, and global social organizations.

We research and deploy technologies that power AI-native operations — both for our partners and for Distyl itself. Our work spans research into self-constructing systems, the development of the most reliable execution of AI systems, and products that transform mission-critical workflows. As a result, Distyl's technologies affect some of the world's largest operations — from hundreds of millions of consumer interactions to tens of millions of supply chain transactions and millions of patient journeys.

Distyl is backed by leading investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, Coatue, DST Global, and the board-members of 20+ F500s. The results reflect this approach: a 100% production deployment success rate for our customers and one of the few enterprise AI companies to run a profitable business.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Distyl is hiring our first legal councel—a rare opportunity to help build the legal function from the ground up at a company operating at the frontier of AI and enterprise transformation.

We’re looking for a Commercial Counsel who doesn’t just support the business, but accelerates it. This role sits at the center of revenue, product, and partnerships—owning how Distyl structures, negotiates, and scales its most critical commercial relationships.

You will be responsible for removing friction from deals, enabling faster growth, and building the legal infrastructure that allows Distyl to scale with confidence. This is not a traditional counsel role focused on reactive support—this is a builder role for someone who wants to design systems, shape strategy, and directly influence company trajectory.
