Full Job Description
The Role: Why, What and the Who

Why? Infrastructure Engineers build the foundation for Ivo's entire platform. Customers are cagey about their contracts, so each customer gets their isolated environment with containers, database, VPC, etc. Things break. Regions go down. Cloud and LLM providers have "incidents." Customers still expect us to hit our SLAs.

What? We're looking for an DevOps Engineer as part of Infrastructure team to:
  • Build and maintain Docker-based environments across dev/staging/prod
  • Own and improve our deployment and release pipelines (GitHub Actions)
  • Manage infrastructure using Pulumi (Infrastructure as Code)
  • Support backend services (APIs, workers, jobs) and frontend apps (builds, deployments, performance issues)
  • Debug issues across the stack: infra → backend → frontend
  • Improve developer experience: faster builds, cleaner environments
  • Help define and improve CI/CD workflows
  • Automate repetitive processes wherever possible

Who? We need someone with:
  • Strong expertise in DevOps / infrastructure + some full-stack exposure
  • Hands-on experience with Pulumi (or similar IaC tools like Terraform), Docker / containerization, GitHub + CI/CD pipelines
  • Good debugging skills: debugging ambiguous issues, tracing problems across systems

This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll be building the system that keeps the company running. In addition to helping us run a solid, high-performance distributed system, we'd love someone who's as excited about LLMs as we are. You'd be deeply embedded into the engineering team and highly encouraged to push the frontiers.

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 wasn't anything technology could do to help this situation.

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

We're 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%). We're genuinely improving people's lives, and we're only just getting started.

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.
  • 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!
