> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/90cfa6d0b2030718 PointOne posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in New York, NY, at $140,000–$225,000 base, level with the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

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 are continuing to quickly scale our engineering team before we raise our Series A. ### Who you are You have: - 2-8 years of experience at hyper-growth startups - 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, collaborate directly with customers, and build products that professionals rely on every day. ### Why you should join **Growth:** As a early member of the team, you will shape your own role and directly inform the fundamental infrastructure behind our product. **Impact:** A lot of AI tools have trouble showing real impact. Not us—we deliver hard ROI to our customers (which is one reason why we're one of the stickiest tools in a law firm). We’re also a multi-product company that expects our engineers to drive technical and product decisions. **Equity:** We want to bet on ourselves and our employees—we offer a highly competitive equity component with any compensation package. We are looking for true builders and innovators. ### What you’ll do - Drive the success of strategic customer accounts, directly partnering with and executing alongside law firm leadership. - Develop novel AI products, providing customers with entirely new workflows. - Regularly connect with and visit customers 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. ### 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. *The compensation for this position is determined by multiple factors, including prior experience and expertise. **A competitive equity component will also be offered as part of the package.** Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as meals in office, regular team events, and more!* [View posting at PointOne](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/PointOne/834a8648-5581-4d69-80cb-41382928d220/application) ## About PointOne PointOne provides AI-native timekeeping, billing, compliance, and firm-intelligence software for law firms.
