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]
About the Role
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

Qualifications
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.

- 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.
