PointOne
Automated time tracking and billing for law firms.
Founding Forward Deployed Engineer
About the role
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 venture‑backed startup (Y Combinator, Bessemer, 8VC, General Catalyst) made up of software engineers (Jane Street, Google, Stanford, Princeton) and ex-attorneys. Following an excellent seed round and rapid customer adoption, we’re adding two more software engineers before we raise our Series A.
Who you are
You have:
- Significant 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
You're excited to work in-person, talk to customers, and build products that professionals rely on every day.
Why you should join
Growth: Work with founders and customers in person to define and build new features. 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. We’re some of the stickiest tools in a law firm—and we deliver hard ROI to our customers. We’re also a multi-product company, meaning that you would be expected to drive technical and product decisions.
Support: We’re committed to building a supportive culture. Our rapidly growing and collaborative team values openness, high feedback, and continuous learning.
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.

About PointOne
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.
