Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a curious, impact-driven early career Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI R&D team
- Education: Ph.D. or M.S. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Statistics, Computational Linguistics, or a closely related field
- 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)
- 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)
- 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
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
- 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
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.
