About EvenUp EvenUp is on a mission to close the justice gap using technology and AI. We empower personal injury lawyers and victims to get the justice they deserve. Our products enable law firms to secure faster settlements, higher payouts, and better outcomes for victims injured through no fault of their own in vehicle collisions, accidents, natural disasters, and more.
Role Overview 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.
Responsibilities
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.
Qualifications
Education: Ph.D., M.S. or B.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.
Location Hybrid – We have offices in San Francisco and Toronto.
