Job Description

We're transforming the grocery industry

At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.

Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.

Instacart is a Flex First team

There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.

Why this role is on the menu

Instacart's product portfolio is expanding rapidly — into new international markets, physical hardware like Caper carts, and retailer-facing platforms like Storefront Pro. Without a dedicated attorney embedded in these initiatives, legal complexity becomes a bottleneck that slows product teams down. We’re hiring a Product Counsel to serve as the strategic legal partner who keeps momentum high while navigating complex and evolving regulatory landscapes. This role sits at the intersection of law, technology, and e-commerce, and the person who fills it will have direct impact on how Instacart’s most ambitious bets come to life.

 

What you’ll cook up in your first year

  • Product teams launching in new international markets have a trusted legal partner who cleared the path — jurisdiction-specific risks identified early, with scalable compliance frameworks that don’t need to be rebuilt for each new market.
  • Caper cart and Storefront Pro initiatives ship with confidence because legal requirements are synthesized into clear, actionable guidance that product, engineering, and design teams can act on — not walls they have to work around.
  • Cross-functional legal processes are measurably more efficient — you’ve identified leverage points, introduced AI-assisted workflows, and reduced time-to-answer for recurring legal questions across Product, BD, and Operations.
  • Instacart’s exposure across consumer protection, payments, privacy, and commercial compliance is well-mapped and proactively managed, with documented risk frameworks and clear escalation paths.
  • Business partners across the company describe Legal as an enabler, not a gatekeeper — and you’re the reason why.

 

The secret ingredients we’re looking for

Must-have pantry staples (Minimum Qualifications)

  • J.D. from a top-tier law school with active bar membership in at least one U.S. state
  • 5+ years of legal experience at a leading law firm or in-house legal department
  • Familiarity with legal issues in Internet and e-commerce spaces (copyright, privacy, advertising, payments, SaaS)
  • Ability to provide clear, concise legal advice and drive results cross-functionally
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities across multiple teams in a fast-paced environment
  • Comfort working with AI tools to drive efficiency and streamline legal processes

 

Optional garnishes (Preferred Qualifications)

  • In-house experience at a tech company or retailer, directly or via secondment
  • Experience with technology platforms
  • Background in corporate, pharmaceutical, alcohol, or privacy/data security law (including GDPR and US-EU Privacy Shield)
