Senior Counsel, Cyber Security and Incident Response

Role description

Role Overview

The Legal and Government Affairs team at CoreWeave is highly collaborative and partners closely with teams across the company to navigate complex legal landscapes while enabling innovation and growth. As Senior Counsel, Cybersecurity & Incident Response, you will serve as a key legal partner to Security and other cross-functional teams on cybersecurity preparedness, incident response, and related regulatory compliance.

What You Will Do

Provide timely, practical legal advice throughout the cybersecurity incident lifecycle, including triage, investigation, containment, remediation, recovery, and post-incident review. Partner closely with Security, Privacy, IT, Engineering, Product, Communications, Customer Support, Insurance, and business leaders to coordinate legally sound incident response and decision-making.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. You remain calm under pressure and can make sound, defensible decisions when facts are still developing. You're curious about technology and enjoy working closely with security and engineering teams to understand how systems operate.

• Ability to understand technical facts, ask precise questions, and translate forensic findings, system architecture, logs, and security concepts into actionable legal guidance
• J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar (NY, NJ, CA, DC, or WA preferred)
