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.
Why Join Ivo?
Every civilization runs on the same infrastructure: agreements between people who don't fully trust each other. Sumerians pressed them into clay. Romans carved them into stone. We bury them in 80-page PDFs.
The way those agreements are reviewed hasn't changed in four thousand years - a human reads the whole thing and tries not to miss anything. We're building the AI that finally changes that. Ivo is the contract intelligence platform of choice for companies like Uber, Meta, Canva, IBM, and Shopify. We recently raised our Series B and have grown 800% over the last 12 months.
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 produce a time series of "composite"
contracts (a customer actually cried when we showed her this) [2025]
The Role: Why, What, and Who
Why
AI Researchers are the engine of innovation at Ivo. You'll push the state of the art in applying LLMs, deep learning, and advanced AI techniques to the unique and high-stakes challenges of the legal domain — where accuracy, explainability, and robustness aren't nice-to-haves, they're the product. Your research will translate directly into features that redefine how legal professionals work.
