About the role

  • AI Researchers are the engine of innovation at Ivo.
  • You'll push the state of the art in applying LLMs, deep learning, and advanced AI techniques to the unique and high-stakes challenges of the legal domain - where accuracy, explainability, and robustness aren't nice-to-haves, they're the product.
  • Your research will translate directly into features that redefine how legal professionals work.

Responsibilities

  • You'll own a research roadmap end-to-end: identifying the right problems, designing experiments, prototyping, and shipping the winners into production alongside the engineering team. Concretely, that looks like:
  • Advance the core AI platform. Design and implement novel approaches to the problems at the heart of Ivo's product: reasoning over long-context legal corpora, contract comparison and redlining, information extraction, and automated drafting and editing.
  • Build the evaluation infrastructure. Design and maintain datasets, benchmarks, and evals for training and measuring model performance on complex legal text. Define the metrics that matter, and hold the team to them.
  • Partner closely with Engineering and Product to take prototypes from notebook to production, write internal reports that influence the technical direction of the platform, and present findings to both technical and non-technical audiences across the company.

Requirements

  • quantitative field - or equivalent industry research experience with a comparable track
  • Strong working knowledge of modern frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
  • Expertise in at least one of: agentic systems, reasoning, parameter-efficient fine-tuning
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex research findings

Nice to have

  • Publications at top venues - e.g., ML/AI conferences (NeurIPS, AAAI, ICML, ICLR), or
  • peer-reviewed journals in adjacent quantitative fields (Journal of Computational Physics,
  • SIAM journals, Journal of the ACM, Nature, Science, PNAS) - or equivalent strong
  • research contributions in industry.
  • Experience with long-context modeling, retrieval, or grounded generation in high-stakes
  • Prior work on hallucination detection, calibration, or interpretability.
  • You love writing code, but you love impact more.
  • We're a team of engineers at heart,

Skills

  • Ditching imprecise embeddings models in favor of agentic RAG
  • Large-scale LLM-based legal fact extraction
  • A legal assistant that can search large contract databases without sacrificing accuracy
  • Clustering legal documents descended from the same family
  • Automatic deviation analysis to locate buried risk in huge contract databases
  • Merging contracts with their amendments to produce a time series of "composite"

Compensation

  • The USD salary range for this role is $250K-$325K.
  • Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Benefits

  • Deep, hands-on experience in deep learning research and development, particularly with
