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. We build and operate systems that process the most confidential data for institutions working on the most sensitive matters. Security for us is a strategic priority. We’re hiring a senior engineer to own the security, scalability, and cost efficiency of our AWS environment.
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, Stanford) and ex-attorneys. Alongside a recent Series A round and rapid customer adoption, we're expanding our GTM team to keep up with overwhelming demand.

You will be shaping critical systems and making architectural decisions that materially affect risk and resilience.
This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of security, cloud architecture, and platform optimization.
You will harden our AWS infrastructure, reduce blast radius, eliminate unnecessary exposure, and ensure our systems scale efficiently and securely.

Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as meals in office, regular team events, and more!
