We are currently working with 50+ law firms and are growing rapidly. Our team is a mix of legal, AI, and startup backgrounds from Fenwick & West, Applied Intuition, and Google. We recently raised a $3.5M seed round from Bessemer, General Catalyst, 8VC, Y Combinator and several of our early customers (who asked to invest after using the product). We're seeing strong demand for our product across small, mid-size and enterprise law firms, and our customers are asking for more product than we can push—this is where you come in. ## Who you are You have 5+ years of experience in full-stack engineering, building complex products in a reliable way at top venture backed startups and/or hyperscalers. You have strong product sense, a high degree of ownership, and the ability to operate autonomously. You have 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 Slack/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 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 the 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.
