As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll design and deploy generative AI products, manage significant projects, and collaborate closely with founders.
Role
Engineers at Ivo design, create and deploy generative AI products. Recent problems we solved include:
1. Representing contracts as merkle trees to avoid redundantly querying LLMs about clauses which have been copied between contracts (many such cases)
2. Building a communicating sequential processes library in JavaScript so we can share code and data between our frontend and backend, while pretending we’re writing in go.
3. Writing an AI agent that generates regular expressions on the fly, to speed up automatic metadata extraction.
Overview
You will have full ownership of significant engineering projects, play a significant role in creating the culture of our engineering team, and will work closely with the founders.
Large language models have unlocked the ability to solve many contract negotiation problems at scale. Our product is best-in-market (we have a ~80% trial win rate) and rapidly embedding itself into the lives of its users.
Your Qualifications
- Proven experience delivering a variety of software solutions.
- Strong foundational programming knowledge.
- 5+ years of software development experience.
- Ability to learn new technologies and be productive in unfamiliar domains.
- Bonus points: Previously founded a startup or experience with LLM powered applications.
Ivo might be a good fit if 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.
- Have a strong internal sense of urgency. You have a bias towards doing things *today*, rather than tomorrow.
- Have experience working in a startup environment - this is preferred but not required.
- Are excited about the adventure of building a company!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
