## Job description

Molecule and BIO.xyz are building the foundation of Decentralized Science (DeSci) — where biotech meets web3 to make scientific research community-owned, transparent, and faster to market.

Molecule provides the infrastructure to turn intellectual property (IP) into programmable, on-chain assets through our IP-NFT framework and evolving protocol stack. This enables researchers, patients, and communities to fund and govern biotech projects in new, open ways.

BIO.xyz http://Bio.xyz is the coordination and economic layer of DeSci, powering BioDAOs through funding, governance, and ecosystem alignment.

Together, we are creating a new model for scientific discovery — one where breakthroughs are owned and advanced by the communities that believe in them.

Location: Remote - preferred: Canada, US, UK, EU, or Switzerland

You will be a force multiplier for Molecule's Chief Legal Officer. This is a broad-based legal operations role inside a venture-backed startup working across biotech IP, decentralized finance, and blockchain-based scientific funding - spanning Switzerland, the EU, the US, and Canada simultaneously.

You won't just process documents. You will design and run AI-powered legal workflows end-to-end: draft contracts using LLMs, build Human-in-the-Loop review protocols, maintain prompt libraries and SOPs, and continuously raise the bar on what a single paralegal can ship. The AI tools are not a shortcut - they're your operating system, and you own the quality of everything that comes out of them.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Draft, review, and manage corporate documents - shareholder agreements, board resolutions, NDAs, MOUs, term sheets, and governance instruments for DeSci projects
- Prepare transactional documents for fundraising rounds, token sales, SAFTs, IP licensing agreements, and IP-NFT frameworks
- Support IP portfolio management: patent prosecution coordination, trademark filings, IP assignment agreements, and research collaboration agreements across US, EU, and international jurisdictions
- Assist litigation and dispute resolution - pleadings, discovery, deposition summaries, privilege logs, and case chronologies alongside outside counsel
- Operate and quality-review AI legal tools integrated into Molecule's workflows: LLM-driven drafting, summarization, research, and compliance screening
- Design structured HITL review protocols so AI-generated work product meets first-tier quality before it reaches the CLO
- Build and maintain prompt libraries, workflow templates, and SOPs for AI-assisted legal tasks
- Monitor regulatory developments across SEC, FINMA, MiCA, and Canadian securities regulators affecting DeSci, IP tokenization, and digital assets
- Support KYC/AML documentation, GDPR and data protection compliance, and regulatory filings

## WHO YOU ARE

- AI-native. You have real, hands-on experience using LLMs for legal drafting, research, or document analysis - and you've built or operated HITL review workflows, not just heard about them
- Paralegal-credentialed. Diploma, certificate, or degree from an accredited institution, with 3+ years of experience in corporate, transactional, or litigation matters at a firm or in-house
- Jurisdictionally versatile. Comfortable working across US, Canadian, Swiss, and EU legal systems - or eager to get there fast
- Organized under pressure. You manage multiple concurrent matters, deadlines, and stakeholders in a distributed startup without dropping threads
- Independent and high-ownership. You don't wait to be told what to do next. You take matters end-to-end and escalate when it counts
- Curious about the mission. Biotech, blockchain, and AI converging in one company either excites you or you wouldn't be reading this

## PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)

- Current paralegal license (LSO or equivalent provincial/state licensing)
- Experience with venture capital transactions, SAFTs/SAFEs, convertible notes, or startup fundraising legal ops
- Familiarity with blockchain, DeFi, digital asset regulation, or DeSci ecosystems
- Background in IP licensing, patent prosecution support, or biotech research collaboration agreements
- A bachelor's degree in law, science, business, or a related field

## WHAT WE OFFER

- A legal operations seat at a company building the infrastructure for autonomous science
- Token allocation
- Remote-first with flexibility across time zones
- Paid travel to conferences, scientific events, and team off-sites
- Learning and professional development budget including CLE/CPD and AI tool training
- Generous PTO

Within you application, please include a cover letter on why Molecule and DeSci excite you and describe your experience with AI tools and HITL workflows in a legal context.

Canadian candidates: include your paralegal license number or equivalent provincial status.

This is a paralegal role. The individual hired will not provide independent legal advice. All legal work product will be reviewed and approved by a licensed attorney prior to use.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equality and weaving a community that values diverse perspectives and experiences and are actively seeking a diverse pool of applicants. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, religion, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, family status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

## About molecule.xyz

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Molecule builds onchain infrastructure for tokenizing, funding, and accelerating scientific research, enabling autonomous AI-driven science and liquid intellectual property markets.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Web3 / DeSci startup)
- **Headquarters**: Not publicly available (remote-first, team distributed globally)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Paul Kohlhaas (Founder and Chairman), Aaron Weaver (Chief Commercial Officer, Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Decentralized Science (DeSci), Biotechnology, Web3 Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: Researchers, biotech labs, scientific institutions, Web3 investors, AI agent developers, and pharmaceutical companies
- **Mission**: "Propel science from lab to life, fueled by a community committed to human progress" — democratizing drug development and scientific research funding through onchain infrastructure.

## Products & Services
- **Onchain Lab**: A modular smart contract wallet (ERC-7579) that acts as a sovereign, programmable container for research projects. It holds assets, executes transactions, stores data references, and interacts with protocols under a persistent onchain identity. Supports IP tokenization, fractionalized ownership, and AI agent execution.
- **IP-NFTs & IP Tokens**: Tokenization of intellectual property as NFTs, with fractionalized ownership via tokens, enabling liquid markets for scientific IP, crowdsales, and automated royalty/licensing via smart contracts.
- **Data Infrastructure & DeSci API**: Decentralized data storage (IPFS, Arweave) with provenance tracking, encryption, and granular access control (token-gated, credential-gated, payment-gated). The DeSci API provides programmatic read/write access to Lab data rooms.
- **BioAgents (AI Agent Layer)**: An open-source AI scientist framework (by bio.xyz) integrated as an executor module on Labs. Agents autonomously analyze data, generate hypotheses, and publish findings with full onchain provenance, operating in Fully Autonomous or Human-Directed modes.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Total Funding**: Not publicly disclosed (backed by prominent Web3 and DeSci investors)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: bio.xyz (ecosystem partner), community of scientists, researchers, and Web3 investors; part of the broader DeSci movement alongside projects like VitaDAO
- **Growth Signals**: Molecule has been operating for over 5 years, evolving from a coordination layer to a full programmable science economy. The launch of "Labs" architecture (Feb 2026) represents a major technical evolution, integrating AI agents (BioAgents) and modular smart contract standards (ERC-4337, ERC-6551, ERC-7579). The platform has successfully tokenized multiple real-world biopharma IP assets, creating a growing ecosystem of onchain science.

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover in DeSci infrastructure**: Molecule is one of the earliest and most established platforms for tokenizing biopharma IP onchain, with a track record of real-world scientific assets.
- **Integrated AI agent layer**: The BioAgents integration creates a closed loop where AI agents autonomously operate within Labs, generating hypotheses and analyzing data with full onchain provenance — a unique moat in scientific research infrastructure.
- **Modular, standards-based architecture**: Built on ERC-4337, ERC-6551, and ERC-7579, Labs are sovereign, transferable, and extensible — allowing new capabilities (licensing, governance, oracles) to be installed over time.
- **Liquid IP markets**: IP-NFTs and IP Tokens make traditionally illiquid scientific intellectual property tradable, fractionalizable, and investable — creating a new asset class.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Labs ecosystem**: Transitioning from a coordination layer to a full programmable science economy where researchers can go from idea to market entirely onchain.
- **AI agent integration**: Deepening the integration of autonomous AI agents (BioAgents) to enable continuous, self-driving scientific research within Labs.
- **Building developer and researcher adoption**: Growing the ecosystem of modules, integrations, and users around the Onchain Lab standard.
- **Tokenizing real-world biopharma IP**: Continuing to bring high-value scientific assets onchain, creating liquid markets for intellectual property.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Directly contribute to accelerating cures and democratizing science funding — work that has tangible impact on human health and progress.
- **Remote-first, global team**: Distributed team with multiple in-person off-sites per year; strong emphasis on autonomy and ownership.
- **Competitive compensation**: Salary + token + equity packages benchmarked against leading biotech and Web3 companies.
- **Generous benefits**: PTO, learning & development budget, paid travel to conferences and scientific events, team off-sites.
- **High-agency culture**: Values include purpose, innovation, autonomy, care, and high standards. The team moves fast, communicates clearly, and values scientific curiosity and operational rigor.
- **Hiring process**: Application → screening → practical hiring challenge (domain-specific) → interviews with teammates and leadership → decision within days. Designed to mimic real work, not trivia.
- **Open roles**: Senior Product Manager, Senior Web3 Engineer, Senior Finance Manager, Full Stack Engineer, dApp Protocol Engineer, and more — all listed on [jobs.ashbyhq.com/molecule](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/molecule).
