Senior Software Engineer

Ivo
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/29/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/29/2025

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 seventh engineering hire. 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!
