Job Description

Welcome to Crosby, the next-generation law company!

We're a team of technologists and legal experts collaborating closely to reimagine corporate legal services from the ground up. We build proprietary technology and human-in-the-loop workflows to enhance the lawyer-machine relationship radically. We want to review complex documents, for example, faster than ever, and with perfect quality.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Penn, Stanford Law, ex-Cooley, former GC) and John (Penn M&T, ex-Ramp, ex-Google).

We believe:

  • A great legal system is the watermark of a great society.

  • Legal work is an art and science. We want to discover the frontier between the two and codify the scientific parts, which is a magnificent puzzle.

  • Selling work, not software, is the best way to realize the productivity gains of GenAI for professional services.

  • In an in-person culture at our NYC office.

The Role:

  • As a Lead Engineer, you’ll have the unique opportunity to define and build the core technology stack that powers Crosby’s platform. You’ll work across the stack, building the robust back-end systems and tooling interfaces needed to deliver on our vision.

  • In this role, you’ll collaborate directly with the founders, define technical priorities, and ensure the scalability of our platform. You'll have a direct impact on our product and user experience as we create tools to make contract review faster and more efficient.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and implement scalable systems to process contracts at scale.

  • Build bleeding-edge agentic AI tools to help the Crosby Legal team review contracts faster.

  • Work closely with the founders and cross-functional teams to define and execute on technical priorities.

  • Establish the foundation for a robust and maintainable codebase as we grow.

  • Mentor and recruit engineers to help build out the team.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience: 3+ years of engineering experience, ideally including Python, TypeScript.

  • Problem-focused: Strong sense of the problem behind a problem, and attention to detail in delivering high-quality products.

  • Builder mindset: Excited about the opportunity to create and scale systems from the ground up.

  • Collaborative: Effective communicator who thrives in cross-disciplinary teams.

  • Ownership: Driven to take responsibility for projects from ideation through execution.

  • Curiosity: Passionate about learning and experimenting with new technologies.

Ideal Qualifications:

  • Strong Python, TypeScript skill set

  • Strong experience with NLP, LLMs, RL, and Information Theory.

  • Experience with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Svelte).

Why Work at Crosby Legal:

  • Competitive salary and equity compensation.

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.

  • Unlimited PTO

  • In-person team in NYC with a collaborative, high-energy environment.
