PointOne is automating the business of law.

Our customers range from SMBs to some of the world's largest law firms. We raised a $3.5M seed round from Bessemer, 8VC, General Catalyst, and other top investors. We have a small team and are 2x'ing over the next 2 months to meet massive customer demand.

Without PointOne, lawyers have to track and record all their time in 6-minute increments, then spend hours at the end of the month reviewing and editing client bills. Many lawyers describe this as the worst part of their job. Meanwhile, law firms are spending $70B/year on admin staff and legacy software to do things like data entry, filings, organizing documents, and more. We're using AI to automate these functions.

About PointOne

We're building an AI system to automate the business of law. The business of law is rapidly evolving under the influence of AI. We’re using AI timekeeping—and the rich data stream it generates—to help firms transition businesses into the AI era.

Our team is a mix of legal, AI, and startup backgrounds from Fenwick & West, Applied Intuition, and Google. We recently raised a seed round from Y Combinator, Bessemer, 8VC, General Catalyst, and several of our early customers (who asked to invest after using the product).

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 2+ 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.

1. You’ll talk to customers throughout the day over Teams, video and phone calls.
2. You’ll listen to their needs and develop a plan based on the highest priority items.
3. 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 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

As a founding engineer, every day you’ll need to build fast and well with a laser-focus on customer impact. 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.
