Full Job Description
Role

Our software solves all these problems (and more) at scale, and our Backend Engineers make it possible. You'll work on:
  • Building systems that process and analyze millions of contracts reliably
  • Designing pipelines that orchestrate LLMs, data extraction, and clustering algorithms at scale
  • Creating the most accurate search and retrieval systems on the market
  • Collaborating with lawyers and product to build the newly possible when LLMs change every few months


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!
