Member of Technical Staff - Product
About Pointer
Pointer is building the interface between humans and software. Our product lives inside other apps — integrating in minutes, crawling the UI, and reading docs to understand how the product works. Once embedded, it guides users, answers questions, and helps them get things done in real time. The vision is simple: software that understands what you’re trying to do, and just does it.
We’ve recently raised our seed round from incredible investors (to be announced). Now we’re looking for a small group of gritty, fast-learning engineers to help invent this new layer of the stack.
About the role
You’ll own how Pointer feels — to our customers, to their users, and to us. You’ll spend your days building the pieces people touch, from the in-app cursor experience to our customer dashboard. Your job is to make Pointer feel instant, native, and magical.
This is a role for an engineer with taste. Someone who cares about UI polish, micro-interactions, and the performance of every click. You’ll be sitting at the intersection of design and engineering, constantly asking: how do we make this so good that no one ever thinks about it?
Why this is exciting
Pointer is the first layer of software users actually notice. It sits right inside the apps they use every day. You’ll be exploring topics like:
Making Pointer run smoothly for every type of user, across browsers, devices, and spotty Wi-Fi speeds
Shipping code that loads instantly and never slows down the host app
Ensuring Pointer can drop into any app with minimal developer work, regardless of frontend framework or product complexity
Crafting UX and micro-interactions so Pointer feels like it’s native to the product, not sitting on top of it
Designing the right abstractions so customers can configure as much or as little as they want
What you’ll work on
Building our SDK and frontend surfaces that run inside other companies’ apps
Creating and refining Pointer’s dashboard where customers configure guidance, view analytics, and measure ROI
Tuning every interaction for speed and responsiveness
Invent new UI patterns for how users interact with guidance and automation inside apps
Shipping end-to-end experiences, from spec to production to polish
You’ll be a good fit if
You’re full-stack and fast: React, TypeScript, Node/Express, PostgreSQL, Redis, Vite, Socket.io
You have strong design taste (experience with Figma, design systems, UX principles)
You thrive on ownership: you want to spec, build, ship, and demo what you create
You’re excited to work in-person in SF with a tight, ambitious team
You have deep experience with browser and web internals
