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.
