What are the responsibilities and job description for the Legal Engineer position at Ivo?
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.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Legal Engineer with a legal background to drive Ivo’s growth by engaging with law firms and in-house legal teams, becoming a trusted advisor on how Ivo’s solutions can enhance their effectiveness, demonstrating the value of our product, and guiding them in its successful implementation.
What You'll Do
The role will be varied with opportunities to specialize into certain areas as the company grows but key responsibilities may include:
Compensation Range: $200K - $260K
