Role

Who you are

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!
8+ years of experience building software

What the job involves

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

Our take

An enterprise's contracts can be a key source of information to support better, faster decision-making, but extracting insights from them can be cumbersome due to their structure and complexity. One of Ivo's co-founders experienced this complexity first-hand, which is why the company was created to help streamline these workflows.

Whilst traditional contract workflows can slow down business, and even introduce more risk, Ivo's approach leverages AI to automate contract insights at scale. Its platform can review agreements, benchmark, uncover relationships between contracts, answer complex contract questions, and more.

Through this, Ivo reduces the workload for teams, so they can focus on actually creating value for the business. The platform is utilised by teams at IBM, Uber, Shopify and Canva, and the company has raised substantial funding to support accelerated product development and the building out of its team.
