About the role
Ivo's standard text
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
