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 Tier 1 venture-backed startup (Y Combinator, Bessemer, 8VC, General Catalyst) made up of engineers (Google, Applied Intuition, Stanford) and ex-attorneys.

We are getting strong pull from the market and can’t keep up with the volume of customer demands — this is where you come in.

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in full-stack engineering, building products in a fast-paced startup environment.

You Have

• A CS degree from a top university
• Significant experience at venture-backed startups and/or big tech companies
• Strong product sense
• High degree of ownership and the ability to operate autonomously
• Demonstrated experience in growing, building, and scaling the codebase of high-growth startups

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.

What you'll do

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.

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.

We’ll do this every day, together, in-person, because we understand that every minute counts in the early days of a startup. This is going to be intense early-stage startup work; the person we hire is expected to become a leader and help form the company’s vision and culture.

Our tech

We have a fully server‑less 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

• 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.
