• Demonstrated ability to write clear, technically deep claims and specifications for complex software or cryptographic inventions.
• Experience managing or substantially contributing to a patent portfolio at a technology company, research organization, or law firm supporting one.
• Comfortable working directly with inventors, protocol and cryptography engineers, and an IP Program Manager in a distributed cofounder team.

Requirements

• Run invention-harvesting sessions with engineers, researchers, and founders across Autheo’s technical surfaces.
• Decide what to file, what to keep as trade secret, and how claims should be sequenced.
• Draft and file provisional and non-provisional U.S. applications for software, cryptography, distributed systems, and blockchain inventions.
• Prosecute applications before the USPTO: office actions, claim amendments, interviews, and appeals as needed.
• Build and maintain a coherent patent portfolio with clear owners, statuses, and deadlines.
• Work daily with inventors to ensure disclosures are complete and accurate.

Benefits

• This is a part-time equity/token-based cofounder opportunity.

• Token allocations in the Autheo blockchain.
• No cash salary for this role; commitment is at least 20 hours per week.

Company Description

Autheo is building a Layer-0 Operating System and an integrated Layer-1 so identity, compute, storage, developer tooling, and AI sit on one network instead of a pile of bridges. The work now is product and protocol: making that network faster, safer, and ready for the builders and businesses that will run on it.
