Early Career Machine Learning Engineer

EvenUp is one of the fastest-growing generative AI startups in history, on a mission to level the playing field for personal injury victims, which range from motor vehicle accidents to child abuse cases. Our products empower law firms to secure faster settlements, higher payouts, and better outcomes for those who need it most.

We are looking for a curious, impact-driven early career Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI R&D team. You’ll develop and deploy models that power Piai™, our proprietary claims-intelligence platform, with a focus on machine learning, natural-language processing, and generative AI. Working alongside senior ML engineers, data scientists, and legal subject-matter experts, you’ll turn raw legal and medical data into production-ready models that directly improve justice for personal-injury clients.

What you’ll do:

• Model research & prototyping – Explore, implement, and benchmark ML/NLP/generative-AI methods (e.g., LLM fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, document understanding).

• Data preparation & feature engineering – Clean, annotate, and transform structured and unstructured case data; build reusable datasets and data loaders.

• Experimentation workflow – Design experiments, run A/B tests, analyze results, and communicate findings to the wider product and engineering teams.

• Productionization – Help integrate models into our microservices architecture; collaborate with MLOps engineers on packaging, testing, monitoring, and scaling.

• Cross-functional collaboration – Pair with product managers, legal analysts, and software engineers to translate pain points into ML solutions and measurable product improvements.

• Continuous learning – Stay current with research in LLMs, representation learning, and prompt engineering; share insights through internal talks and docs.
  

What we look for:

• Education: Ph.D. or M.S. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Statistics, Computational Linguistics, or a closely related field

• Core expertise:

  • Solid grounding in machine-learning fundamentals (supervised & unsupervised learning, evaluation metrics, overfitting/regularization).

  • Hands-on experience with NLP or generative-AI techniques (e.g., transformers, embeddings, sequence-to-sequence models, LLMs).
    

• Technical stack:

  • Proficiency in Python and ML/NLP libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, spaCy, or similar.

  • Familiarity with SQL and basic data-engineering concepts (ETL, versioned datasets, notebooks).

  • Nice-to-have: exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), experiment-tracking tools (Weights & Biases, MLflow), or containerized deployment (Docker/Kubernetes).
    

• Mindset & people skills:

  • Eagerness to learn from senior teammates and iterate quickly in a fast-moving startup.

  • Clear, concise communication—both written and verbal.

  • Strong analytical thinking and a bias toward shipping pragmatic, high-impact solutions.
