DevOps Engineer, Infrastructure

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 make a time series of “composite” contracts (a customer actually cried when we showed her this) [2025]
  
  

The Role: Why, What and the Who

Why? Infrastructure Engineers build the foundation for Ivo’s entire platform. Customers are cagey about their contracts, so each customer gets their isolated environment with containers, database, VPC, etc. Things break. Regions go down. Cloud and LLM providers have “incidents.” Customers still expect us to hit our SLAs.

What? We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer as part of Infrastructure team to:

• Build and maintain Docker-based environments across dev/staging/prod
• Own and improve our deployment and release pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Manage infrastructure using Pulumi (Infrastructure as Code)
• Support backend services (APIs, workers, jobs) and frontend apps (builds, deployments, performance issues)
• Debug issues across the stack: infra → backend → frontend
• Improve developer experience: faster builds, cleaner environments
• Help define and improve CI/CD workflows
• Automate repetitive processes wherever possible
  
  

Who? We need someone with:

• Minimum 5 years of experience
• Strong expertise in DevOps / infrastructure + some full-stack exposure
• Hands-on experience with Pulumi (or similar IaC tools like Terraform), Docker / containerization, GitHub + CI/CD pipelines

• Good debugging skills: debugging ambiguous issues, tracing problems across systems
  
  

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role. You’ll be building the system that keeps the company running. In addition to helping us run a solid, high-performance distributed system, we’d love someone who’s as excited about LLMs as we are. You’d be deeply embedded into the engineering team and highly encouraged to push the frontiers.

Ivo might be a good fit for you if you:

• 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.
• You have a strong internal sense of urgency. You have a bias towards doing things *today*, rather than tomorrow.
• Experience working in a startup environment is preferred but not required.
• Are excited about the adventure of building a company!
  
  

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: Final offer details are determined based on experience, expertise, and overall fit.
• Equity: Meaningful ownership in a company that's scaling fast
