Job description

Staff Software Engineer, Frontend

Engineering at Ivo

Role

Our software delights users, and our Frontend Engineers make that happen. You’ll work on:

• Crafting a real‑time, collaborative AI‑enabled interface
• Writing high‑performance UI code
• Implementing frontend components that integrate directly with LLM‑powered agents
• Collaborating with designers, lawyers and other engineers to re‑imagine how lawyers work in the AI age

Mission

Every major business has an in‑house legal team, and all of those lawyers are overworked. 80‑hour weeks, tight deadlines and contract‑reading death marches are the industry norm. LLMs have given us the ability to give these lawyers their lives back, and at Ivo, that’s our mission.

Qualified if you:

• You love writing code, but you love having impact more.
• You describe yourself as being relentlessly resourceful.
• You have a strong internal sense of urgency and a bias toward doing things today, rather than tomorrow.
• Experience working in a startup environment is preferred but not required.
• You are excited about the adventure of building a company!

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation: The USD salary range for this role is $325K–$485K.
• Remote: We have an in‑office culture, with some hybrid flexibility.
