About Us

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR) operates at the cutting edge of digital asset infrastructure and technology. As a publicly traded company, our team operates across the United States and globally, managing a diverse portfolio of operations that sit uniquely at the intersection of public blockchain protocols and capital markets.

Job Summary

We are looking for a Corporate Counsel to join a small, technically literate legal team supporting Bitmine and its subsidiaries, including MAVAN. The team's remit is broad, and so is this role.

• Corporate & Public Company Execution: Supporting a NYSE-listed group through SEC periodic and current reporting, governance, Section 16 coordination, equity administration, comprehensive board matters, policy management, corporate secretarial work across US and international entities, and intercompany arrangements.
• Commercial: Negotiating staking and validator services agreements with global custodians, exchanges, and asset managers, covering liability frameworks, indemnities, slashing risk, and fee structures. Handling vendor and infrastructure agreements, MSAs, NDAs, and token-related commercial arrangements.
• Regulatory & Operational Compliance: Managing KYC, KYB, and AML/CFT onboarding of institutional clients, privacy and data protection, cybersecurity, and insurance program support. Conducting regulatory research across the US, Australia, the UK, and the EU on questions like the treatment of non-custodial staking, custody arrangements, and digital asset disclosure.

A Typical Day

Might involve turning a mark-up of a staking agreement, preparing a monthly report on transaction monitoring, researching a regulator's latest guidance, preparing onboarding documentation for a new institutional client, and helping prepare a board resolution. You will do all of it with a supportive team around you and experienced external counsel alongside. Be confident, communicate clearly, propose considered paths, and you will do well. Given the frequent interaction with BMNR leadership, SEC counsel, auditors, and board matters, having this person close to the team in Norwalk is highly valuable.

• Support transactional work across the group, including commercial agreements, MSAs, and NDAs.
• Conduct regulatory research across the US and other jurisdictions, with a focus on digital asset regulations and non-custodial staking.
• Support engagement with regulators, custodians, and external counsel across multiple jurisdictions.

• Support corporate secretarial work across US and other entities, including resolutions, registers, and filings.

• Support the group's insurance programs, including renewals, broker coordination, and policy reviews.
• Assist with public company regulatory and governance matters, including support for SEC periodic and current reporting, NYSE listing standards compliance, and disclosure controls processes.

• Working understanding of Ethereum, public blockchain infrastructure, and proof-of-stake mechanics, or a rapid willingness to develop one. Knowledge of validator economics and consensus client architecture is a plus.
