Software Engineer, Fullstack

About the role

WHY JOIN IVO?

Contracts are the oldest business technology in human history. They allow us to collaborate: they define what we promise each other, how we work together, and what happens when things go wrong.

Ivo builds AI products that helps companies like Meta, Uber, IBM, Intel, DoorDash, Mitsubishi Electric, and Coinbase solve their most difficult contracting problems. We think that large language models have created an opportunity to fundamentally change how businesses collaborate with each other.

At Ivo you will work on challenging problems with colleagues who have high standards for each other, move fast, and care deeply about their craft.

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]

THE ROLE: FULL-STACK ENGINEER

- Engineers at Ivo design, create and deploy generative AI products. You’ll work across the stack on:

- Developing full stack generative AI functionality

- Shipping high performance UI code and backend systems that process and analyze millions of contracts reliably

- Designing pipelines that orchestrate LLMs, data extraction, and clustering algorithms at scale

- Collaborating with designers, lawyers and other engineers to re-imagine how lawyers work in the AI age

IVO MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF YOU:

- You love writing code, but you love having impact more: We’re 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 http://www.paulgraham.com/relres.html.

- 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!
