Software Engineer - Point One Technologies : Job Details

Were building an AI system to automate timekeeping and firm intelligence for law firms, starting with timekeeping and billing. The business of law is rapidly changing in response to AI. Were using our entry wedge and the rich data stream it generates to help firms transition their 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 cant keep up with the volume of customer demands this is where you come in.

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.

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.

Youll talk to customers throughout the day over Teams, video and phone calls.

Youll listen to their needs and develop a plan based on the highest priority items.

Youll ship code to execute on the plan. We put new code into production multiple times per day.

Well 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 companys vision and culture.

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.

As a founding engineer, every day youll need to build fast and well with a laser-focus on customer impact. Heres 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 featuredepending on the priority, you might target a same-day turnaround.

11:27 AM. As were working, we see that were running into a capacity issue causing a slowdown for some users. All hands on deck to figure out whats 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 users 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.
