Legal Counsel, Regulatory Hub & AI
About k-ID
k-ID is the global leader in privacy-first compliance and age verification infrastructure. Recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025, named a Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum and a winner of Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech, we are building the Age Layer for the internet — the fundamental infrastructure that allows digital platforms to verify age and manage compliance globally without friction.
Our core platform, anchored by the Compliance Development Kit (CDK) and AgeKit, is the trusted engine for the world's largest game publishers and digital ecosystems. We replace fragmented, manual compliance with a unified API that handles age verification, parental consent, and regulatory logic across 200+ markets. Backed by top-tier venture capital firms like a16z and Lightspeed, k-ID is entering a phase of growth to define the standard for global digital safety.
At the heart of our legal offering is the k-ID RegulatoryHub — a proprietary, multi-jurisdictional database covering children's privacy and online safety laws across 195+ countries. This database powers neimo.ai, our AI legal assistant purpose-built for product counsel, enabling clients to access fast, authoritative, and well-referenced legal answers grounded in primary sources. The integrity and currency of this database is mission-critical: our clients rely on it daily to make real compliance decisions.
About The Role
We are looking for a driven, intellectually curious, and AI-forward Legal Counsel to join k-ID's legal team in a role dedicated entirely to the RegulatoryHub and the neimo.ai platform. This is not a generalist legal role. You will own the legal quality, accuracy, and continuous improvement of our global children's privacy and online safety database — and you will be a key collaborator with our product and engineering teams in shaping the future of neimo.ai as a best-in-class AI legal platform.
This role exists because the RegulatoryHub is a living, breathing product that demands dedicated, expert attention. Laws change. Enforcement actions emerge. New regulations are enacted across dozens of jurisdictions every month. You will be the person who ensures our database stays ahead of all of it — not by working harder, but by working smarter, leveraging AI tools to amplify your legal expertise and keep our database the most reliable resource in the market.
If you are energised by the intersection of law and technology, passionate about children's rights and online safety, and excited about building something that genuinely matters, this role is for you.
Location & Language
Location: Singapore (open to other locations)
Languages: Proficiency in English is required. Additional languages are a strong advantage for multi-jurisdictional research.
Key Responsibilities
Regulatory Hub Ownership
You will serve as the primary legal custodian of the k-ID Regulatory Hub, taking full ownership of its accuracy, depth, and ongoing development. This means conducting systematic reviews of existing database content, identifying gaps or outdated entries, and ensuring that every data point — from legislative citations to enforcement summaries — meets our rigorous quality standards. You will develop and refine internal methodologies for legal research, content classification, and confidence scoring, ensuring consistency across hundreds of jurisdictions.
AI-Augmented Legal Research & Monitoring
You will leverage AI-powered research tools and workflows to monitor, identify, and analyse new and emerging laws, regulations, guidance, and enforcement actions relating to children's privacy and online safety across the globe. Rather than simply tracking developments, you will synthesise them into actionable database updates and clear internal guidance. You will be expected to continuously improve your use of AI tools to maximise research efficiency without compromising legal rigour.
neimo.ai Product Collaboration
You will work closely with the neimo.ai engineering and product teams as a core legal stakeholder in the platform's development. This includes providing structured feedback on AI-generated content, participating in product discussions on new features and database expansions, reviewing the quality of AI outputs, and contributing to the development of internal review workflows. You will help ensure that neimo.ai remains accurate, trustworthy, and genuinely useful to our clients.
Client-Facing Legal Quality
Because clients rely on the Regulatory Hub for their compliance decisions, the legal quality of the database is a direct reflection of k-ID's credibility. You will be responsible for ensuring that database content is not only legally accurate but also clearly written, practically useful, and appropriately caveated. You will translate complex, multi-jurisdictional legal requirements into clear and actionable summaries that product and legal teams can act on.
Internal Knowledge & Standards
You will contribute to internal training, knowledge-sharing, and the development of legal standards around children's privacy and online safety. You will collaborate with senior counsel to align interpretations, escalate complex or high-risk issues, and maintain consistency of legal analysis across regions. Where applicable, you will supervise or quality-check contributions from contractors or external researchers contributing to the database.
Minimum Qualifications
Law degree (LL.B / JD or equivalent) and admission to practice in at least one jurisdiction, or an equivalent background with substantial demonstrated expertise in privacy and data protection law.
4–7 years of post-qualification experience (or equivalent) in privacy, data protection, or a closely related legal field.
Meaningful experience with children's privacy law, including familiarity with frameworks such as GDPR (including child-specific provisions), COPPA, the UK Children's Code, Australia's Online Safety Act, or equivalent regimes in other jurisdictions.
Demonstrated ability to conduct rigorous multi-jurisdictional legal research and synthesise complex legal materials into clear, structured outputs.
Genuine proficiency with and enthusiasm for AI tools — you should already be using AI in your legal work and be eager to push further.
Strong written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly to non-lawyer audiences.
High attention to detail, strong ownership mindset, and the ability to manage a large, ongoing body of work independently.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior in-house experience at a technology company, gaming studio, social media platform, edtech provider, or other digital product company.
Experience working with or maintaining legal knowledge management systems, regulatory databases, or structured legal content repositories.
Familiarity with age assurance, parental consent frameworks, age-appropriate design standards, or online safety regulation.
Relevant privacy certifications (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM), particularly with a focus on children's privacy or online safety.
Experience collaborating with engineering or product teams in a legal or compliance capacity.
Fluency in one or more additional languages beyond English, supporting multi-jurisdictional research coverage.
Benefits
Competitive salary and equity package commensurate with experience.
Fully remote and flexible working arrangements.
The opportunity to do genuinely meaningful work at the frontier of children's privacy law and legal AI.
A collaborative, high-trust environment where legal expertise is deeply valued.
Access to cutting-edge AI tools and a team committed to building the best legal technology in the market.
