Senior Legal Counsel; Capital Markets

Private markets hold some of the most valuable and innovative companies in the world, yet trading their equity still runs on email chains, PDFs and wire instructions. We believe that with the right infrastructure, private markets can become the biggest market in the world. Augment is building that infrastructure, end to end, to be the simplest experience for buying and selling shares in private companies.

Accredited and institutional investors use Augment to buy and sell shares in some of the world's most sought after private companies, including Perplexity, Kalshi, SpaceX (now public), and Glean. Augment was founded in 2022 with headquarters in Austin and an office in NYC.

We're growing fast:

• Raised $16.5M to date from investors including Builders VC, Neo, Golden Section, E1 Ventures and OPCO Ventures
• Profitable 50+ person team and growing, with an eight-figure annual revenue run rate, targeting 9 figures in 2027
• $1.5B+ in assets under management
• 10,000+ users and transactions in 45+ private companies
• Experienced leadership from Google, Rubrik, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Nasdaq Private Markets with our Chief Compliance Officer sitting on FINRA's Small Firm Advisory Committee

We’re hiring a Senior Legal Counsel to serve as a core deal lawyer behind Augment’s revenue‑generating investment products. You’ll report directly to our Head of Legal and work across product, engineering, business development, operations and compliance teams.

Every week we execute private market transactions: single-asset SPVs, multi-asset funds, side letters, escrow and settlement arrangements, and securities placements. Most of your time will go to running SPV diligence and offering reviews, drafting and negotiating investment documents, and getting deals closed. You’ll also support fund structuring, PTP and securities regulatory review, and product counsel work on investment features.

You’ll cover the full range of this work, from high-volume execution to non-standard deals that call for judgment. If you’d rather build a practice than inherit one, this is the seat.

• Run PTP structuring reviews for direct investments and for indirect investments that run through lower-tier vehicles, including the entity classification analysis at each layer

• Help prepare conflict-of-interest disclosures, offering documents and investor disclosures

• Partner with product, engineering, business development and operations to launch new investment features and…
