Deployed Engineer

Role details

About Pointer Pointer builds AI systems that do a company's hardest work and verify it, so people can finally come out of the loop. The work we take on is the foundational, multi-day, hundred-step processes that businesses run on today with entire teams of people like reconciliation across physical and digital systems, invoice and PO matching, month-end close. We believe the economy can't compound on AI until systems can run processes like these on their own, over long horizons, instead of being steered through every step. Every agent product built so far hands the last stretch back to a human, whether that's touching an elusive application or reviewing outputs. That supervision is the tax that eats the gains. We're currently working with finance and accounting teams at operationally complex enterprises, where the cost of being almost right is the same as being wrong. Our team is tight-knit, highly technical, jolly, and unusually close to the work itself. Everyone talks to customers and ships full systems end to end. We're excited by computer use, verifying AI outputs, self-improving systems, and coherence over long horizons. About the role You'll own how Pointer lands . This is a role for someone who loves doing it all. One day you're shadowing an finance team to map how they close the books, the next you're wiring up computer-use agents against their actual systems, the next you're showing their CAO what used to take a week now takes an hour. What you’ll work on Embedding with customer teams to learn how their operations actually run – shadowing experts, mapping decision logic, and capturing the tribal knowledge that makes work correct Building and deploying agents tailored to each customer's systems, edge cases, and operational reality Owning the feedback loop: patterns you find in the field directly shape what we build into the platform Presenting Pointer to customers and prospects with sharp narration and real design taste – sequencing demos around their specific workflows, making the value obvious, not just the features You’ll be a good fit if You’re a strong generalist engineer: comfortable across backend, frontend, and ML-adjacent tasks You have excellent communication skills and can translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders You think in terms of business outcomes You’re comfortable jumping into ambiguous problems and finding creative solutions fast You have experience in solutions engineering, growth engineering, or as a technical founder You care about how things are presented, not just whether they work – demo pacing, visual clarity, the narrative arc of a customer conversation What we value We think in systems and understand how things compound. What matters is not the eggs, but the goose We give people room to actually think through problems rather than rushing an outcome We're incredibly opinionated about what we build We are comfortable to share the real thing, because the best reasoning should win We run the company as a series of experiments and let the results decide what's next We let people try things and fail, because nothing good gets built by people afraid to be wrong We work hard and have fun while we do it - you can't beat someone who's enjoying the work We respect that people have responsibilities outside of work, and the boundaries that come with them What we offer Competitive pay + equity (we’ll beat all of your offers) Engaging, high-impact work Relocation support to San Francisco Visa sponsorship (if applicable) All meals covered (coffee, lunch, dinner, snacks) M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro, multiple monitors, and whatever else you need Unlimited PTO and full health coverage 401(k) for your future Regular team offsites
