- Dropbox in five languages: English, Spanish, French, German and Japanese
Dropbox is fewer than 70 people total and growing!
This means extremely high leverage for everyone at the company. We have desktop apps, mobile apps, a modern web presence, and a constantly scaling backend built from scratch. Python is the lingua franca of Dropbox and makes up the vast majority of our codebase.

Lex Machina
Lex Machina, Inc. began as a joint project between Stanford Law School and the Stanford Computer Science Department seeking to address the dearth of reliable data on IP litigation. Initiated by Professor Mark Lemley, the project sought to shed light on exorbitant jury verdicts, anomalous case filings, and other inconsistencies among federal district courts.
In order to study disparities and other trends in patent litigation, some of the world’s biggest technology companies and law firms funded a team of IP experts and leading computer scientists to map out every electronically available patent litigation event and outcome. The result of this collaboration was the IP Litigation Clearinghouse (IPLC), the most legally rigorous patent litigation database and search engine in the world. The IPLC was launched in December 2008 as a fully searchable web-based “almanac” on U.S. IP litigation.
Through close empirical study and cutting-edge technology, Lex Machina strives to provide historical legal intelligence to the world.
