Kit is the email marketing platform experts choose to grow their audience, deepen their relationships, and build a business around the work they love. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform.
More importantly, there isn't a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.
We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next.
Kit is growing, and so are the legal complexities of our business. We're looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to help us navigate them with clarity, speed, and commercial savvy. You'll serve as in-house legal subject matter expert, partnering closely with the executive team to lead product legal strategy and execution—especially around privacy, data, AI and compliance, commercial contracts, customer security requirements, and scalable legal support for our teams. A key focus will be helping Kit respond to a growing volume of privacy questions—particularly as one of our newer products, Subscriber Signals, evolves by building practical, repeatable systems that provide timely and consistent guidance at scale.
You'll help shape the legal backbone of a fast-moving tech company with multiple revenue streams—including SaaS, digital commerce, paid reccomendations, and advertising—and a rapidly growing platform for creators. To advise the business effectively, you'll develop a deep understanding of Kit, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools. You'll be at the center of complex, cross-functional problems where product, business, and legal strategy meet—all in service of helping creators build more valuable businesses.
You'll report to our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Bevel, and partner regularly with leaders across product, sales, finance, and people operations. You'll own our core legal work in-house, reduce the need for outside counsel, and know when specialized outside counsel is truly needed.
First week: Get up to speed on our business model, current goals, and products. Learn about the product, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools. Meet key internal stakeholders and our external counsel. Review our most common legal agreements, privacy questions, and customer security requests to assess where we have risk, opportunity, ambiguity, or recurring work that can be handled more efficiently.
First month: Get your arms around active data processing, privacy, AI, and other legal initiatives, and build a \"what's on deck\" view of upcoming legal needs. Map the recurring privacy support questions arising across Kit—particularly around Subscriber Signals, and begin designing a scalable intake, guidance, and escalation system. Partner with Sales, Sponsorships, Security, Product, and Engineering to move faster without cutting corners. Take ownership of GDPR and data compliance vetting and establish a clear process for responding to customer security questionnaires.
First six months: You’re the go-to partner for legal considerations across the business, particularly for our product, engineering, security, and GTM teams. Build scalable systems—such as playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance—for answering recurring privacy, data-use, and compliance questions. Partner throughout the product lifecycle on initiatives and feature releases, with particular attention to Subscriber Signals and our connected ecosystem of products. Prioritize our biggest legal risks, reduce unnecessary reliance on outside counsel, and streamline legal workflows to increase speed, confidence, and self-service.
First year: Help Kit operate at a higher level of legal maturity across privacy, compliance, product counsel, commercial contracts, and security support. Establish durable systems that allow teams to answer common questions independently while escalating higher-risk matters appropriately. Help us treat privacy, data, and compliance as strategic enablers—not just boxes to check—and significantly reduce our reliance on outside counsel for work we can handle effectively in-house.
Skills
Deep expertise in data, compliance, and product—this is where you'll spend most of your time.
Strong ability to navigate U.S. and European data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), including familiarity with data controller vs. processor distinctions and how they shape vendor and product decisions.
Ability to translate privacy and compliance requirements into scalable playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance
Experience supporting customer security questionnaires and partnering effectively with security, sales, product, and engineering teams
Familiarity with SOC 2 Type II and the legal, privacy, and customer requirements associated with it, even if you haven't directly owned a certification process
Understanding of intellectual property law, especially related to brand, content, and software
Understanding of commercial contracts—you'll become the go-to person for these at Kit.
Clear communicator and trusted advisor—able to simplify complexity and help others make informed decisions
Experiences
Experience as in-house counsel at a tech company or serving a tech portfolio at a top-tier firm that's well-known for their work with startups (e.g., Fenwick & West, Cooley)
J.D. from an accredited law school in the United States

A \"how might we\" problem-solver who finds creative, business-aligned paths through legal challenges
Needing a team of in-house peers or co-counsel to pressure-test every decision—you'll be our sole in-house legal expert, with outside counsel available as needed
A strongly risk-averse or \"no-before-yes\" mindset—we need you to help us move, not just stop us from tripping
Thinking in a legal vacuum—if you're not factoring in our goals, numbers, or creators, your advice won't land
Struggling with speed or ownership—if you prefer long timelines or wait to be told what to do, this won't be the right environment. We move quickly and expect people to take initiative, spot problems, and drive solutions.
We're 100% remote with team members across the globe. For this role, we're looking for someone located in the United States.

We value diversity in all of its forms.

For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform.
More importantly, there isn't a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.
We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next.
Kit is growing, and so are the legal complexities of our business. We're looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to help us navigate them with clarity, speed, and commercial savvy. You'll serve as in-house legal subject matter expert, partnering closely with the executive team to lead product legal strategy and execution—especially around privacy, data, AI and compliance, commercial contracts, customer security requirements, and scalable legal support for our teams. A key focus will be helping Kit respond to a growing volume of privacy questions—particularly as one of our newer products, Subscriber Signals, evolves by building practical, repeatable systems that provide timely and consistent guidance at scale.
You'll help shape the legal backbone of a fast-moving tech company with multiple revenue streams—including SaaS, digital commerce, paid reccomendations, and advertising—and a rapidly growing platform for creators. To advise the business effectively, you'll develop a deep understanding of Kit, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools. You'll be at the center of complex, cross-functional problems where product, business, and legal strategy meet—all in service of helping creators build more valuable businesses.
You'll report to our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Bevel, and partner regularly with leaders across product, sales, finance, and people operations. You'll own our core legal work in-house, reduce the need for outside counsel, and know when specialized outside counsel is truly needed.

First six months: You’re the go-to partner for legal considerations across the business, particularly for our product, engineering, security, and GTM teams. Build scalable systems—such as playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance—for answering recurring privacy, data-use, and compliance questions. Partner throughout the product lifecycle on initiatives and feature releases, with particular attention to Subscriber Signals and our connected ecosystem of products. Prioritize our biggest legal risks, reduce unnecessary reliance on outside counsel, and streamline legal workflows to increase speed, confidence, and self-service.
First year: Help Kit operate at a higher level of legal maturity across privacy, compliance, product counsel, commercial contracts, and security support. Establish durable systems that allow teams to answer common questions independently while escalating higher-risk matters appropriately. Help us treat privacy, data, and compliance as strategic enablers—not just boxes to check—and significantly reduce our reliance on outside counsel for work we can handle effectively in-house.
Skills
Deep expertise in data, compliance, and product—this is where you'll spend most of your time.
Strong ability to navigate U.S. and European data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), including familiarity with data controller vs. processor distinctions and how they shape vendor and product decisions.
Ability to translate privacy and compliance requirements into scalable playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance
Experience supporting customer security questionnaires and partnering effectively with security, sales, product, and engineering teams
Familiarity with SOC 2 Type II and the legal, privacy, and customer requirements associated with it, even if you haven't directly owned a certification process
Understanding of intellectual property law, especially related to brand, content, and software
Understanding of commercial contracts—you'll become the go-to person for these at Kit.
Clear communicator and trusted advisor—able to simplify complexity and help others make informed decisions
Experiences
Experience as in-house counsel at a tech company or serving a tech portfolio at a top-tier firm that's well-known for their work with startups (e.g., Fenwick & West, Cooley)
J.D. from an accredited law school in the United States

A strongly risk-averse or \"no-before-yes\" mindset—we need you to help us move, not just stop us from tripping
Thinking in a legal vacuum—if you're not factoring in our goals, numbers, or creators, your advice won't land
Struggling with speed or ownership—if you prefer long timelines or wait to be told what to do, this won't be the right environment. We move quickly and expect people to take initiative, spot problems, and drive solutions.
We're 100% remote with team members across the globe. For this role, we're looking for someone located in the United States.

Kit is an equal opportunity employer
We value diversity in all of its forms.

If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply.
We’re imperfect communicators, so think of our job postings as the starting point for discussion rather than proof that you shouldn’t apply.

YOU UP FOR SUCCESS\n\n \n\nSkills\n\n - Deep expertise in data, compliance, and product—this is where you'll spend most of your time.\n\n - Strong ability to navigate U.S. and European data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), including familiarity with data controller vs. processor distinctions and how they shape vendor and product decisions.\n\n - Ability to translate privacy and compliance requirements into scalable playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance\n\n - Experience supporting customer security questionnaires and partnering effectively with security, sales, product, and engineering teams\n\n - Familiarity with SOC 2 Type II and the legal, privacy, and customer requirements associated with it, even if you haven't directly owned a certification process\n\n - Understanding of intellectual property law, especially related to brand, content, and software\n\n - Understanding of commercial contracts—you'll become the go-to person for these at Kit.\n\n - Clear communicator and trusted advisor—able to simplify complexity and help others make informed decisions\n\nExperiences\n\n - Experience as in-house counsel at a tech company or serving a tech portfolio at a top-tier firm that's well-known for their work with startups (e.g., Fenwick & West, Cooley)\n\n - J.D. from an accredited law school in the United States\n\n - Active member in good standing of a State Bar Association\n\nTraits\n\n - Strategic thinker who sees legal as a lever, not a blocker\n\n - Deeply curious and business-oriented—you start by understanding the goals, then explore the smartest paths to get there.\n\n - Collaborative partner who can navigate conflict productively\n\n - Deep belief that creator success is our success—you consider both Kit and our customers in every recommendation\n\n - A \"how might we\" problem-solver who finds creative, business-aligned paths through legal challenges\n\n \n\n\nWHAT WON'T SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS\n\n - Needing a team of in-house peers or co-counsel to pressure-test every decision—you'll be our sole in-house legal expert, with outside counsel available as needed\n\n - A strongly risk-averse or \"no-before-yes\" mindset—we need you to help us move, not just stop us from tripping\n\n - Thinking in a legal vacuum—if you're not factoring in our goals, numbers, or creators, your advice won't land\n\n - Struggling with speed or ownership—if you prefer long timelines or wait to be told what to do, this won't be the right environment. We move quickly and expect people to take initiative, spot problems, and drive solutions.\n\n \n\n\nWORKING HOURS AND LOCATION\n\nWe're 100% remote with team members across the globe.

For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform.
More importantly, there isn't a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.
We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next.
We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer II to take ownership of a large share of Kit's core infrastructure: databases, Kubernetes, version upgrades, platform tooling, and day-to-day support. You'll also build the paved paths that let engineers, non-engineers, and AI agents test and ship changes safely.
The infrastructure supports creators who depend on Kit to reach their audiences and earn a living. When it's healthy, nobody notices. That's the job.
This is a full-time Individual Contributor role for an experienced infrastructure engineer who likes owning production systems end to end, takes on-call seriously, leans into automation and enjoys making other people's work easier.
You'll report to Mojtaba Hosseini, VP of Engineering at Kit. Day to day, you'll work most closely with Kris Hamoud and Ivan Mora Perez.
You'll also partner with product engineers across Kit, and with teams outside engineering who rely on infrastructure to get their work done. Once you're ramped up, you'll join a three-person on-call rotation, which works out to roughly one week in three.
First Week: Get access to our AWS accounts, Kubernetes clusters, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines. Read through our runbooks and architecture docs. Take part in Get To Know Yous (GTKYs) with Kris, Ivan, and the engineering teams you'll support.
First Month: Pick up day-to-day infrastructure support requests and start working through them with Kris and Ivan as backup. Ship your first improvement, such as a version upgrade or a fix to a gap in monitoring. Shadow on-call shifts. Write down what you learn along the way, especially the parts that only lived in someone's head or those that can be automated or improved.
First Six Months: Own core infrastructure areas end to end: databases, Kubernetes, version upgrades, and platform tooling. Take your full share of on-call, which you'll start by the end of your first quarter. Become the go-to person for day-to-day infrastructure questions. Find one recurring source of pages and make it go away. Ship a first paved path, such as a sandbox environment where AI agents or non-engineers can safely build and test changes.
First Year: You're the primary owner of a large part of Kit's core infrastructure, and you lead projects in it without needing direction. Uptime stays at 99.9% or better, page volume is down, and you've found real cost savings. Your paved paths are in regular use by engineers, non-engineers, and AI agents. You've built observability good enough for AI agents to handle some on-call load. You've documented your decisions so others can build on your work.
Skills
Running production infrastructure on AWS at scale, including managed relational databases, networking, and load balancing
Operating Kubernetes in production: upgrades, capacity planning, and troubleshooting
Managing infrastructure as code and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that engineers trust
Building monitoring and alerting that catches real problems early and doesn't page people for noise
Diagnosing complex, multi-service incidents calmly, then fixing the underlying cause
Cutting cloud costs through right-sizing and reserved capacity without hurting reliability
Writing clear runbooks, docs, and decision write-ups
Nice to have: experience with Cloudflare, ephemeral or sandbox environments, or email sending infrastructure
Experiences
Around 7 or more years in infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE roles
Owning production infrastructure for a product where downtime costs customers money
Carrying a pager for systems you owned, and making that on-call rotation quieter over time
Leading a major upgrade or migration, such as a database or Kubernetes version upgrade, with little or no customer impact
Building self-service tooling or paved paths that other engineers actually adopted
Working on a small infrastructure team where you couldn't hand problems off to a specialist
Traits
You own what you run. You spot infrastructure debt and fix it without waiting to be asked, and you follow through until it's done.
You build quality into the work. Upgrades have rollback plans, maintenance windows are planned around customers, and \"good enough\" is a decision, not a default.
You leverage AI effectively. AI helps you increase quality and velocity where it matters most. You know when to delegate and when to dive in, while holding accountability.
You make work easier for everyone else. You'd rather build a tool or write a guide once than answer the same question ten times.
You teach what you know. You write things down so the next person, or the next AI agent, can build on your work.
You work in public. You share context and tradeoffs openly, including during incidents and when things go wrong.
You use AI thoughtfully. It's part of how you work, and you help others adopt it without creating new risks.
You remember who's on the other end. An outage means a creator's launch email doesn't go out, and that shapes how you prioritize.
Wanting a well-defined backlog handed to you each week. Here, you'll find much of the work yourself and set priorities with Kris.
Preferring not to be on call. On-call is a core part of this role, shared across a team of three.
You are skeptical of AI’s capabilities, or conversely use AI without good judgement and accountability.
Wanting mostly greenfield architecture. A lot of this work is running, upgrading, and improving systems that already exist.
Needing layers of approval before acting.
We're 100% remote with team members across the globe. We work mostly on East Coast time—so if you're based on the West Coast of the United States, Europe, or Asia, you might have a few early mornings or late evenings. We do our best to keep things reasonable, but a little time zone juggling comes with the territory.
This role is part of a three-person on-call rotation, so during your on-call week you'll need to be able to respond to pages outside your usual working hours.
We believe PTO should always take priority over on-call. We schedule on-call around people's lives, not the other way around. On-call is a shared responsibility, but taking time off should never be a challenge
Kit has standardized salaries based on position, no matter where you live. For this role, we're hiring at our level 4 ($197,000). Level is determined based on experience and our interview process.

Kit's content team is producing more video than ever — creator interviews, webinars, product demos, and a steady stream of organic social — and we need an editor and videographer who can keep pace without sacrificing quality. This is a part-time contract role, not full-time, but you'll sit on the content team, working directly from our raw footage and briefs rather than a detailed spec sheet.
Short-form is the priority, but you'll flex between quick social cuts and longer editorial pieces depending on what the week calls for. You should feel comfortable filming and editing for both
You'll report to Cait Miller, Team Lead, Content Marketing, and work closely with our social and creator education content marketers, who you will partner with for filming, briefs, and priorities week to week.

Skills
Strong command of a professional filming and editing tools (Adobe Premiere Pro preferred; familiarity with CapCut, Opus Clip, or Descript as needed)
Fast, clean editing on talking-head and interview footage — pacing, captions, and audio cleanup that doesn't need a re-do
An eye for turning long-form footage (interviews, webinars) into engaging short-form social cuts
Comfort applying brand guidelines — fonts, captions, colors — consistently across a high volume of videos
Strong eye for quality and polish — Has a high bar for craft and can catch small details in cuts, pacing, transitions, audio, and endings that can make a video feel unfinished or sloppy.
Ability to work within a brand system — Comfortable interpreting and consistently applying brand guidelines across typography, color, composition, motion, imagery, and overall visual language.
Strong design fundamentals — Understands core principles like hierarchy, composition, typography, spacing, and visual storytelling, and can apply them naturally in video.
Collaborative with Brand/Design — Comfortable partnering closely with designers and creative leadership, receiving feedback, and incorporating brand considerations throughout the editing process.

4+ years editing social-first video content, ideally for a brand, creator, or agency
Experience editing both short-form (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) and longer-form (YouTube, webinar, interview) content
Hands-on experience with recorded interviews, webinars, or talking-head footage — not just b-roll or UGC-only editing
Nice to have: experience editing course-style or educational video content
Traits
You're fast without cutting corners — this team is high-volume and needs an editor who won't become the bottleneck
You can take a rough idea or raw footage and make it genuinely engaging, without leaning on clickbait
You take feedback well and don't need heavy oversight once you know the brand
You're comfortable juggling several projects across short- and long-form at once
Needing a detailed shot list or heavy direction before you can start cutting
Discomfort with fast turnarounds — some weeks call for same-week social turnaround
Preferring to specialize in only one format — this role moves between short- and long-form regularly
A style that leans on clickbait hooks or gimmicks over substance
While Kit operates as a fully remote organization, certain deliverables require on-location support, including filming original content, supporting studio and on-set productions, and capturing footage at in-person events. These activities will primarily take place in New York City, so we will give preference to candidates based in the NYC area who can provide on-site support as needed.
This is a 6-month part-time contract (25 hours/month), with the possibility of extension. The monthly retainer is $3,000–$5,000, based on experience.
We usually receive a large number of applications, and our goal is to follow up with you within two weeks. You’ll hear from us either way. Here’s what you can expect from the rest of our hiring process:

Kit is an equal opportunity employer
We value diversity in all of its forms. Research tells us that applicants who are female or non-binary, as well as applicants who are people of color, are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified for. If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply.
We’re imperfect communicators, so think of our job postings as the starting point for discussion rather than proof that you shouldn’t apply.
