- Advise executive leadership and the board on legal risk, corporate governance, and strategic transactions
- Build and scale the legal function as the organization grows, including hiring and managing internal counsel or paralegal support as needed
- Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, and brand teams to embed legal risk management into day-to-day decision-making

Ideal Profile

- JD and active bar membership, California bar strongly preferred
- 10+ years of legal experience, including in-house experience within fashion, apparel, retail, or consumer brands
- Strong background in intellectual property and trademark management across a multi-brand portfolio
- Experience with M&A due diligence and integration, ideally supporting brand or asset acquisitions
- Experience negotiating wholesale, retail, licensing, and e-commerce agreements
- Strong employment law knowledge and experience partnering with HR
- Comfortable operating as both a hands-on legal practitioner and a strategic advisor to executive leadership
- Excellent judgment, discretion, and communication skills

Location & Work Model

- Los Angeles, CA
- Hybrid work model with regular in-office collaboration

Compensation

- Base salary: $300,000 - $400,000
- Bonus: Performance-based, aligned with level and experience

Interested?

AVP, Actuary - Inforce Management

About the Company

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

About This Role

We're looking for a Lead Embedded Software Engineer to design and develop firmware for the safety-critical electromechanical systems in service of our mission, and to lead the growing team that builds it. The role is hands-on and covers the whole embedded stack. You'll bring up new boards, write drivers, design portable hardware abstraction layers and build the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure that tests every change on real hardware. You'll set the technical direction and architecture for our embedded software and make system-level decisions that shape how other teams design and build.

Because these systems are safety-critical, you'll think carefully about how they can fail, and you'll make sure your team does too. Much of your time will go to writing code and solving challenging engineering problems, with a heavy emphasis on efficiency and safety. You'll work closely with electrical and controls engineers: reviewing boards, turning control requirements into firmware architecture and debugging on the bench. You'll also mentor engineers and set the bar for how the team designs, reviews and tests firmware.

Responsibilities

- Develop bare-metal, safety-critical software in modern C++ that is readable, testable and efficient.
- Bring up new boards and debug board-level issues with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and other lab equipment.
- Write drivers for a range of ICs over UART, SPI and I2C.
- Write and maintain wired communication stacks, e.g. CANopen, TCP, UDP
- Design HAL interfaces that let applications move between platforms.
- Use MCU peripherals to enforce safety at the hardware level and make applications more efficient.
- Analyze how electromechanical systems and your software can fail together and work to mitigate the effects.
- Build HIL CI infrastructure that tests software changes on real hardware.
- Work cross functionally with engineers across multiple disciplines (electrical, mechanical, software)
- Present firmware designs to stakeholders to keep all engineering disciplines aligned.
- Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and failure mode analysis reviews
- Provide technical and architectural leadership based on first principles thinking

Basic Qualifications

Preferred Skills and Experience

- Experience implementing wired communication stacks such as CANopen, TCP, and UDP
- Experience designing bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms
- Experience leading bring-up of new boards
- Experience writing firmware for closed-loop control systems
- Experience building simulation and HIL test environments
- Experience with digital signal processing
- Experience shipping safety-critical embedded software
- Demonstrated technical leadership in setting engineering standards and in building and mentoring high-performing engineering teams
- Experience in a fast-paced, startup-like engineering environment that calls for a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to delivering within tight timelines or budgets

Additional Requirements

- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
- Ability to come into our office every day. This role is 100% onsite and in-person.
- Currently a US Citizen with capability to obtain and maintain a US DOE-Q clearance

Equal Opportunity Employer

General Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range for this role is $165,000 to $280,000 annually.

Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. Please note that the stated salary range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.

Lead Embedded Software Engineer

Who we are

In the past, to be a successful restaurateur, you simply had to have a passion for food and a passion for people - but to succeed as a digital restaurateur you also need to have a passion for technology. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter – to help restaurateurs succeed in online food delivery. Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry’s, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches.

What you’ll do

As Product Designer for Platform, you’ll define the experience architecture and critical cross-product systems that shape how Otter works as a unified platform. Your work will influence the foundations every product team builds on and some of the most important journeys across the customer lifecycle. You will:

- Define platform-level experience architecture across navigation, hierarchy, permissions, configuration, entitlements, and shared interaction patterns.
- Lead critical cross-product workflows such as onboarding, activation, setup, upsell, and expansion.
- Simplify complex, workflow-heavy tools by creating clear mental models, scalable interaction frameworks, and reusable product patterns.
- Partner deeply with Product and Engineering to align user experience with underlying system models, platform capabilities, and technical constraints.
- Work closely with the Design System team to translate shared product patterns into reusable, consistent UI foundations.
- Embrace new technologies and ways of working to prototype faster, iterate more effectively, and raise the quality of design outcomes.
- Explore how AI and new technologies can lower the barrier to complex software and shift experiences from “using tools” to “getting outcomes as a service,” with strong judgment about when to use them—and when not to.

What we’re looking for

- 10+ years of product design experience, or equivalent seniority, with a track record of leading complex, high-impact product work.
- Strong systems thinking and information architecture skills, with experience designing workflow-heavy products or tools with meaningful complexity.
- Proven ability to define scalable experience models, frameworks, and patterns that work across multiple products, teams, or customer journeys.
- Excellent product judgment, including the ability to simplify complexity while balancing usability, flexibility, and technical constraints.
- Strong cross-functional leadership and influence, with the ability to drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Design, and other stakeholders.
- Comfort working with complex system models, including permissions, configuration, object relationships, states, dependencies, and edge cases.
- Experience partnering closely with Design System teams and understanding the relationship between product architecture and reusable UI foundations.
- Adaptable and forward-looking in how design gets done, with meaningful use of emerging technologies such as AI, prototyping, and implementation tools to improve speed and quality.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and proactively identifying opportunities beyond a single feature or product area.
- B2B or enterprise experience is a plus, but not required; we care more about the complexity of the product and workflows they’ve designed.

Why join us

- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
- Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

What else you need to know

This role is based in our Los Angeles office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.

The base salary range for this role is $182,000 - $230,000 per year.

Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.

Benefits Summary (USA Full-Time Exempt Employees):

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plans, incl. HSA options).
- Company-paid life and disability insurance (short- and long-term).
