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.

We are looking for an exceptional designer to join our team in San Francisco. You will guide the vision, strategy, and execution of Ivo’s design system while managing a small team of designers.

What You’ll Do

• Create, maintain, and scale component libraries, design tokens, interaction patterns, and accessibility standards

• Define and own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Ivo’s design system.

• Partner closely with Engineering to ensure system adoption, alignment, and implementation quality of the design system

• Develop workflows that improve designer and developer collaboration, such as Figma libraries, documentation, and quality checks

• Shape internal best practices for design documentation, guidelines, and cross-team collaboration

• Constantly raise the bar for design craft and execution

What You'll Bring:

• 4+ years of experience in product design

• Experience building design systems for SaaS platforms

• Deep expertise in Figma, component libraries, tokens, variants, and systematic file organization

• Constantly learning and adapting to the rapid changes AI brings to UI/UX

• A proclivity to adopting and experimenting intelligently with AI tools

• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate system rationale and implementation guidance

• Experience operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities and high expectations for craft

• A portfolio that demonstrates how you’ve shaped scalable design patterns, systematized complex UI challenges, and delivered cohesive experiences
