About PointOne
PointOne is reinventing how law firms operate. Our AI‑powered timekeeper helps attorneys capture billable time automatically and provides rich insights that transform how legal work is managed. We’re a venture‑backed startup (Y Combinator, Bessemer, 8VC, General Catalyst) made up of software engineers (Jane Street, Google, Stanford, Princeton) and ex-attorneys. Following an excellent seed round and rapid customer adoption, we are continuing to quickly scale our engineering team before we raise our Series A.
Who you are
You have:
2-5 years of experience at hyper-growth startups and/or leading big tech companies
A CS degree from a top university
Strong product sense
High degree of ownership and the ability to operate autonomously
Why you should join
Growth: As a founding member of the team, you will shape your own role and directly inform the fundamental infrastructure behind our product. You’ll gain exposure to AI, serverless architecture, and the business of law while owning high‑impact projects.
Impact: A lot of AI tools have trouble showing real impact. Not us—we deliver hard ROI to our customers (which is one reason why we're one of the stickiest tools in a law firm). We’re also a multi-product company that expects our engineers to drive technical and product decisions.
Equity: We want to bet on ourselves and our employees—we offer a highly competitive equity component with any compensation package. We are looking for true builders and innovators.
What you’ll do
Develop novel AI products, providing customers with entirely new workflows.
Work directly with customers (you’ll be visiting their offices with us) to understand needs, prioritize requests, and translate them into technical solutions.
Prototype and integrate AI pipelines (e.g., retrieval‑augmented generation) to prove out new workflows.
Lead by example through mentoring future hires, pairing, and code reviews. You'll shape our engineering culture.
You're excited to work in-person at an early-stage company, talk to customers and get your hands dirty across a variety of products and domains. You will work with the founders and early employees to build a category-defining product, continue scaling it to massive enterprises, and become a leader in the organization. We’ll do this every day, together, in-person, because we understand that every minute counts in the early days of a startup.
To accomplish this, you will own and ship products.
You’ll talk to customers throughout the day over Teams, video and phone calls.
You’ll listen to their needs and develop a plan based on the highest priority items.
You’ll ship code to execute on the plan. We put new code into production multiple times per day.
Our tech
We have a fully serverless backend built on top of AWS, consisting of a collection of Go microservices. We use React/Typescript to build client applications across web, desktop, and mobile. We create our own RAG pipelines.
Day in the life
Working closely with the founding team, you’ll need to build fast and well with a laser-focus on customer impact everyday. Here's a typical day:
9:30 AM. Join a call with a managing partner at a law firm (“KAJ Law”) that recently started using PointOne. They ask if our system integrates with Slack, but it does not. After the call, you draft a plan for the new feature—depending on the priority, you might target a same-day turnaround.
11:27 AM. As we’re working, we see that we’re running into a capacity issue causing a slowdown for some users. All hands on deck to figure out what’s going on and resolve the issue.
2:43 PM. Slack communication feature is complete. Deploy new code and email the team at KAJ Law to let them know about the new capability.
3:00 PM. Lead a new-customer onboarding call, taking note of the user’s reaction to the product.
5:45 PM. Team dinner. We chat about life, news, work, etc.
6:23 PM. With the big hurdles of the day overcome, time to go heads down see if we can incorporate vision models to improve the automated billing assistant.
The compensation for this position is determined by multiple factors, including prior experience and expertise. A competitive equity component will also be offered as part of the package. Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as meals in office, regular team events, and more!
