Full Job Description

WHY 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 ROLE: We're hiring a Senior Security Engineer to own how Ivo detects, responds to, and defends against threats across our infrastructure, identity, network, and endpoints. You'll partner directly with our Head of IT & Security and work alongside engineering and IT to keep the systems behind our product safe. This is a hands-on senior IC role with broad scope: detection engineering, incident response, cloud and identity security operations, perimeter and network hardening, vulnerability management, and security automation. Where our Application Security Engineer owns the product itself, you own everything around it: the systems, the signals, and the response. Our platform handles legally privileged documents for some of the largest companies in the world. The security stakes are real, and so is the impact.   RESPONSIBILITIES • Own detection and response across Ivo's cloud, identity, and endpoint estate. - Build and tune detections in our SIEM (Panther). Turn noisy telemetry into high-signal alerts engineers and IT actually act on, with a strong bias toward signal over noise. - Lead incident response for infrastructure, identity, and corporate-layer security events. Run investigations end to end, drive containment and recovery, and write the post-incident review. - Own cloud security posture across GCP and Azure. Find misconfigurations, prioritize real risk, and partner with engineer
