Orca’s vision is to build a financial system that puts people first. We envision a future where the majority of global financial transactions are driven by CLAMMs and other Decentralized Finance (DeFi) products. Our ambition reaches beyond becoming the leading provider of financial primitives in crypto—we aim to reshape the foundation of finance itself. We are building the next NASDAQ. If you are someone who is tired of just working another job and wants to build something meaningful, then we invite you to join our team.
As Orca’s Paralegal, you will work closely with our Chief Legal Officer and other legal team members, as well as collaborate across departments including Operations, Finance, Talent, and Product. This is an ideal role for an experienced paralegal seeking in-house experience in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, mission-driven environment. You will be exposed to a diverse set of legal areas, including contracts, compliance, corporate governance, and regulatory matters unique to digital assets and, specifically, decentralized finance (DeFi). Unlike traditional law firm roles, this position offers a front-row seat to the legal, strategic, and operational challenges faced by a high-growth software development company building DeFi products—with the opportunity to directly influence impactful legal work.
Draft, review, and revise contracts, including NDAs and service agreements, subject to attorney review. Serve as the legal liaison across departments—including Operations, HR, Finance, and Talent Acquisition—to support day-to-day legal and compliance needs. Participate in meetings with external counsel regarding matters such as tax strategy, corporate structuring, and international operations. Support ongoing compliance and policy initiatives across the organization. Conduct legal research and assist in preparing internal memos, compliance documentation, and policy drafts. Support corporate governance needs, including draftings resolutions and preparing Board meeting materials, including agendas, minutes and follow-up matters. Provide administrative support for the Chief Legal Officer, including travel and schedule management. Assist with a variety of other legal and administrative matters as they arise in a fast-paced startup environment.
