Job Description

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.


We are one of the fastest-growing vertical SaaS companies in history, and we are just getting started. EvenUp is backed by top VCs, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, SignalFire, and Lightspeed. We are looking to expand our team with talented, driven, and collaborative individuals who seek to have a lasting impact. Learn more at www.evenuplaw.com.


At EvenUp, we leverage cutting-edge AI to bring fairness and accessibility to the legal system. Tackling the most complex legal document challenges requires expertise in data quality, robust model development, and ongoing innovation.


We are looking for an experienced Staff Machine Learning Engineer eager to join EvenUp's mission. 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.
