From the employer
About Crosby
Crosby is built on a simple conviction: a great legal system is the watermark of a great society — and the best legal work comes from combining human expertise with the right technology, not replacing one with the other.
Crosby is the first AI-native law firm, helping ambitious companies like Cursor, Ramp, and Cognition sign commercial contracts faster.
Legal work is both art and science, and we're mapping the frontier between the two — codifying what can be systematized, amplifying human judgment where it matters most. That's why the right way to bring AI into law isn't to sell software and walk away. It's to own the outcome together: higher-quality work, delivered faster. We build proprietary tools and human-in-the-loop workflows that change what's possible for corporate legal teams.
Crosby was founded by Ryan (Stanford Law, Cooley, startup GC) and John (Penn, first 15 engineers at Ramp). Help us transform one of society's most important industries.

Wait, sorry, you’re absolutely right–that was AI slop!
Take 2: we’re hiring a human writer.
LLMs can produce a lot of average writing.

We’re hiring a 99th percentile writer who can reach our 99th percentile customers.
What you’ll do
Write short and long form essays, blog posts, and social posts for various ICPs we care about (executives, legal leadership, sales leadership, and engineers and researchers)
Help founders, execs, and engineers get their thoughts organized clearly and polished for their audiences
Produce other content: build story boards for videos we’ll shoot, write copy for new website landing pages, cut the best clips from an interview to post on social
Wear many hats: some days we’re crafting the right pitch for our founder to go on a podcast, others we’re racing around the east village finding a screen printer who will make last minute swag for an event tonight
