Software Engineers will design and deploy AI products, solve complex problems related to contract negotiations, 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'll be our ninth engineering hire. We are looking for motivated and curious Software Engineers who can help us make our users’ lives better. You’ll be working 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
- Bachelors in computer science/math.
- Experience with Applied AI
- Strong ability to learn new technologies and be productive in unfamiliar domains

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
