Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.
We're hiring a Senior Partnerships Dealmaker to drive adoption of Walrus across the AI ecosystem. This is a frontline role. Your job is to:
Create opportunities by building new relationships with the platforms, enterprises, and standards bodies that matter most to Walrus.
Structure, negotiate, and close complex, non-template deals.
Develop deep expertise on our products, our target markets, and the impact of technology on our partners.
You'll work closely with the Head of Partnerships, who sets direction and strategy. You execute by identifying the right partners and getting deals done. Anything from a marketplace listing, to a flagship enterprise integration, to convening the players needed to create a new industry standard.
What You’ll Do:
Strategic Deal Making. Identify, engage, and build relationships with the players that matter most to Walrus's position in the market including hyperscalers and data platforms, AI builders and agentic-framework companies, data and compute vendors, and standards bodies. Build and manage a pipeline of high-leverage opportunities: marketplace listings, platform integrations, co-marketing, and standard-setting.
Ecosystem Positioning & Standards. Get Walrus Memory listed and ranked as a top memory provider where AI builders shop for infrastructure, and broker the relationships needed to shape emerging standards so that Walrus is designed in from the start as a viable solution for agentic workflows.
Strategy & Implementation. Identify critical external data points that help our leadership team develop a cohesive strategy across Partnerships, Product, and Marketing.
Deal Excellence. Lead intricate negotiations and contract discussions, ensuring terms are mutually advantageous and aligned with the strategic objectives of both parties.
Program Manage Deal Outcomes. Collaborate cross-functionally with internal stakeholders, taking an ownership approach to seeing a deal from signing through to integration and beyond.
What You’ll Have:
7–10+ years in strategic partnerships, platform/ecosystem alliances, or corporate/business development at a data infrastructure, AI, or enterprise software company.
A track record of closing deals with large platforms or enterprises where you had to navigate multiple stakeholders and where the deal wasn't a simple sale
Technical curiosity. You aren't a data architect, but you can understand complex technical models, architectures, and agentic workflows.
Creative dealmaker. You have a strong, proven track record of constructing business relationships that don't follow a template.
You are passionate about decentralizing data infrastructure and the impact this has on the digital experience for everyone.
Curiosity about Web3 and decentralized infrastructure, and the ability to get fluent quickly. Prior crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement.
High ethical standards.
You appreciate direct communication.
You can pivot on the fly. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You're not looking for a 9-to-5 job.
Ability to travel 20% or more of the time, often internationally.
Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information.

Reporting to the General Counsel, you will work closely with leaders across the company on corporate governance, strategic transactions and investments, corporate structuring, finance, tax, employment and compensation matters, and other strategic initiatives. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving novel problems, operating with significant autonomy, and taking ownership of matters from initial strategy through execution.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical corporate training with practical business judgment and the versatility to tackle matters that do not fit neatly within a single legal discipline.
Lead and support strategic transactions, including joint ventures, strategic investments, acquisitions, dispositions, spinouts, restructurings and other complex corporate transactions.
Advise the General Counsel, executive team and other business leaders on corporate legal matters and strategic initiatives.
Work cross-functionally with finance, tax, accounting, people and other teams to structure and execute strategic corporate initiatives.
Advise on corporate finance and treasury matters, including equity and debt financings and other capital-related transactions.
Partner with the People team on employment, executive compensation, equity and token compensation, and other employee-related matters, coordinating with specialist counsel as appropriate.

Identify legal and business risks, develop practical solutions, and communicate clear recommendations to senior stakeholders, often in situations involving novel issues or incomplete information.
Manage outside counsel and other external advisors efficiently, including determining when specialist expertise is necessary and driving matters toward resolution.
Develop and improve corporate legal processes, policies, templates and systems as the company continues to evolve.
Stay informed regarding legal and industry developments relevant to Mysten Labs and the broader web3 ecosystem.
Take on other legal and strategic projects as needed. We are a lean team, and everyone is expected to be willing to tackle important problems that fall outside their traditional lane.
Do whatever needs to be done, and do the right thing.
8+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant experience at a leading law firm and/or in the legal department of a high-growth technology company.
Strong foundation in corporate law, with meaningful experience in corporate governance and complex corporate transactions.
Experience with some combination of M&A, joint ventures, strategic investments, corporate restructurings, financings, subsidiary governance or other strategic corporate matters.
Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex matters, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, and drive projects from initial issue identification through execution.
Ability and willingness to operate as a corporate generalist and quickly develop expertise in unfamiliar areas.
Excellent business judgment and the ability to assess and appropriately weigh legal and business risk, including when operating with imperfect information.
Strong executive communication skills, including the ability to distill complex issues into clear, actionable and practical advice.
Highly collaborative, solutions-oriented and comfortable working with stakeholders across finance, tax, accounting, people, operations and other functions.
Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and urgency who thrives in a fast-moving environment with a lean legal team.
Unquestioned integrity and sound judgment.
Interest in blockchain technology and willingness to develop a strong understanding of Mysten Labs’ business, technology and ecosystem. Prior web3 or crypto experience is helpful but not required.
J.D. from an accredited law school and membership in at least one U.S. state bar, with eligibility to practice as in-house counsel in California.
You become the person the General Counsel and business teams turn to when a complicated corporate issue needs an owner. You are equally comfortable advising executives on a hot button issue, structuring a joint venture, helping evaluate a potential spinout, working through an employment or compensation issue with the People team, or taking an ambiguous strategic assignment and figuring out how to get it done.
You know when to dive deeply into an issue yourself, when to bring in specialists, and how to translate legal analysis into practical recommendations. Above all, you take ownership, exercise sound judgment, and make it easier for the company to move quickly and responsibly.

Set technical direction with senior engineers for account creation and recovery, key management, signing, transaction construction and simulation, dApp connectivity, asset management, swaps, and other DeFi experiences.
Create clear ownership and execution plans across web, browser extension, iOS, Android, backend services, SDKs, and protocol dependencies.
Raise standards for architecture, testing, release safety, observability, incident response, and post-incident learning in an asset-sensitive product.
Partner with product and design to simplify complex onchain workflows without hiding material fees, permissions, risks, or transaction outcomes from users.
Work with security and protocol teams to evaluate threats, manage dependencies, and make informed tradeoffs between usability, decentralization, privacy, and protection of user assets.
Use data, user research, support feedback, and ecosystem context to prioritize work and measure product and engineering outcomes.
What You Bring
Experience managing and developing software engineers, including senior engineers, in a high-ownership product environment.
Direct experience shipping production blockchain wallet functionality. You understand self-custody, private-key security, signing, recovery, transaction lifecycle, chain and RPC failure modes, and wallet-to-dApp interaction patterns.
Hands-on DeFi fluency. You regularly use onchain products and can reason about liquidity, routing, slippage, staking, lending, bridges, protocol and smart-contract risk, and the user protections required for financial transactions.
Strong systems judgment across client applications, backend services, APIs or SDKs, distributed dependencies, monitoring, and operational response.
A record of setting direction in ambiguous environments, improving execution, and delivering reliable products across multiple platforms or surfaces.
Ability to partner closely with product, design, security, and senior technical leaders while maintaining clear engineering accountability.
Preferred Experience
Experience integrating decentralized exchanges, aggregators, bridges, staking, lending, or fiat on- and off-ramps into a wallet.
Familiarity with Sui, Move, programmable transaction blocks, zkLogin, Wallet Standard, or another modern smart-contract platform.
Experience leading products through rapid growth, high transaction volume, security review, or asset-impacting incidents.
Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information.
