Company mission
To close the justice gap using technology and AI.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an experienced Staff Machine Learning Engineer eager to join EvenUp's mission
- Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Milvus, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch)
- Familiarity with retrieval frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom retrieval pipelines)
- Strong software engineering skills (Python, distributed computing, APIs)
- Strong knowledge of transformer models (LLMs, embeddings, fine-tuning methods like LoRA, PEFT)
- Understanding of evaluation methodologies for generative AI (RAG benchmarks, hallucination reduction, factual grounding)
What the job involves
- 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
- Lead the design and architecture of large-scale ML systems for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and fine-tuning frameworks across multiple product lines
- Define and drive technical strategy and best practices for ML system design, including embedding pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and integration with vector databases
- Mentor and guide other engineers by reviewing designs, code, and system proposals to elevate the technical bar across the ML engineering org
- Partner with product, research, and infra teams to translate ambiguous business and research goals into robust ML system architectures
- Drive innovation and prototyping in areas such as semantic search, generative AI evaluation, and fine-tuning techniques, with a focus on production-readiness
- Own the frameworks and abstractions that make ML workflows reproducible, scalable, and reusable across the company
- Establish standards for system evaluation, including relevance, latency, cost efficiency, and reliability metrics, and ensure they are consistently applied
- Act as a bridge between applied ML research and engineering, ensuring that new techniques (LoRA, retrieval optimizations, etc.) are integrated into production frameworks effectively
- Influence long-term roadmap and platform direction by identifying gaps in ML tooling, infrastructure, and developer experience
- Represent the ML engineering team in cross-org architectural reviews, ensuring alignment with platform, data, and infra strategies
Our take
Every year, millions of personal injury cases in the US are resolved with only a small fraction going to trial, leaving many victims potentially under-compensated due to inaccurate settlement proposals. EvenUp aims to change this by leveraging AI technology to streamline the assessment of injury cases.
The AI tools evaluate raw case files, including medical and police records, creating tailored "demand packages" that present comprehensive compensation arguments. This improves lawyer performance and victim outcomes.
Despite concerns about AI bias and privacy, EvenUp has garnered significant investor interest, closing a funding round in 2024 that was one of the largest in the history of legal AI. Now valued at over $1 billion, it is investing in its team and introducing new techniques and products for personal injury and other legal areas.
