About the role
About PointOne
PointOne is reinventing how law firms operate. We build infrastructure for the legal industry, powering timekeeping and billing systems used by law firms and government agencies.
Our AI 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, Jane Street) and ex-attorneys. Alongside a recent Series A round and rapid customer adoption, we're expanding our engineering team to keep up with overwhelming demand.
Who you are
You have:
- 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 an early 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.
