Staff Software Engineer, Fullstack

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.

Role: Staff 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

Engineering at Ivo

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

• 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]

Ivo might be a good fit for you if you:

• 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.
