Job Description

Engineering at Ivo

Engineers at Ivo are inventors. Ivo was first-to-market with:

  • An AI agent that lives in MS word and edits the document for you [2023]
  • Ditching imprecise embeddings models in favor of agentic RAG [2023]
  • Large-scale LLM-based legal fact extraction [2024]
  • A legal assistant that can search large contract databases, without sacrificing accuracy [2024]
  • Clustering legal documents descended from the same family [2025]
  • Automatic deviation analysis to locate buried risk in huge contract databases [2025]
  • Merging contracts with their amendments to make a time series of composite contracts (a customer actually cried when we showed her this) [2025]

Role

Today, our competitive edge comes from a lot of hand-written code. Tomorrow, we want to expand our lead with new AI capabilities that no one else has.

Youll work on:

  • Moonshots to create step gains in accuracy, scale or capabilities
  • Turning ambiguous research problems into real systems
  • Building and leading a team of 2-3 researchers
  • Working with lawyers and other engineers to turn your breakthroughs into product

Mission

Every major business has an in-house legal team, and all of those lawyers are overworked. 80 hour weeks, tight deadlines and contract-reading death marches are the industry norm. Up until recently, there wasnt anything technology could do to help this situation.

LLMs have given us the ability to give these lawyers their lives back, and at Ivo, thats our mission.

Were building an AI-native platform to automate legal drudgery. People love our software - despite high competition, we have the highest trial win rate on the market (85%). Were genuinely improving peoples lives, and were only just getting started.

Ivo might be a good fit for you if you:

  • You love writing code, but you love having impact more: Were a team of engineers at heart, but our #1 goal is building the best possible product. That means making pragmatic choices and looking for 80/20 solutions.
  • Would describe yourself as being relentlessly resourceful.
  • You have a strong internal sense of urgency. You have a bias towards doing things *today*, rather than tomorrow.
  • Experience working in a startup environment is preferred but not required.
  • Are excited about the adventure of building a company!
