Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Cayman Islands Remote part_time

Posted: March 16, 2026

Job Description

The Role

ether.fi is looking for a versatile, crypto-native attorney to join as our first part-time Senior Legal Counsel. You will be the primary legal architect for our core product suites: Stake (Liquid Staking), Liquid (DeFi Strategy Vaults), and Cash (our Visa-powered spend card).

This isn't a "research and memo" role. You will be embedded across all of our teams, reviewing features in real-time and closing commercial deals that move the needle.

Commitment: 15–20 Hours / Week (Remote) Experience: 4–5 Years PQE (Law Firm or In-House)

Key Responsibilities

Lead legal reviews for new features on the ether.fi protocol and ether.fi Cash. You will navigate the legal and regulatory nuances of non-custodial architecture, slashing risks, L2 migrations, and other crypto-related issues across unlimited jurisdictions.

Act as a legal point of contact for day-to-day operations. You will draft and negotiate a variety of agreements, from partner integrations, vendor MSAs, commission agreements, liquidity provider, MOUs, LOIs, and other contracts.

You’ll draft and review user-facing terms, update website content when new features or promotions launch, ensure we communicate risk clearly, while complying with financial promotion regulations (SEC, CFTC, and MiCA).

Handle some day-to-day employment related issues, including immigration , and employee and contractor agreements.

What You Bring

3–4 Years of Experience: You’ve spent time in a high-growth fintech or a top-tier "Tech/Crypto" law firm practice. You don't need a partner to tell you how to redline a master services agreement.

On-Chain Fluency: You know how to use a block explorer. You understand the difference between liquid staking and traditional deposits, and you can explain it to a regulator.

Builder Mindset: You find ways to say "yes, if..." rather than "no, because..." You are comfortable with the ambiguity of the 2026 regulatory landscape.

Efficiency: As a part-time collaborator, you are a master of triaging tasks. You know which 20% of a contract carries 80% of the risk.

Benefits

Opportunity to work with a Top 4 Ethereum protocol, by TVL

Opportunities for professional development and growth within the organization

Global team with opportunity for travel and working out of our 3 offices around the world

Fully remote, flexible hours designed for high-performing fractional professionals.

Competitive hourly rate/retainer with potential for token-based incentives.
