The salary range provided reflects the compensation that EvenUp reasonably expects to offer for this role. The specific salary within this range will be determined based on various factors, including the candidate's relevant experience, education, skills, location, and alignment with the role's responsibilities.

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 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 the power of technology to bring fairness and accessibility to the legal system. Large language models (LLMs) are a new type of intelligence and represent an important part of our technology strategy. To fully realize the potential of this technology, we recognize the need for a systematic, creative, and rigorous approach to instructing LLMs and evaluating their output.

With the field of prompt engineering still evolving, finding the right expertise can be a challenge. That's why we're seeking a Staff Machine Learning Engineer eager to join EvenUp's mission. Our interdisciplinary team - with backgrounds in industry as well as academic research in physics, ML, neuroscience, and more - hopes to foster an environment where we can systematically discover state of the art techniques and be the best in the world at applying them to the challenging problems we encounter in the legal domain. In fact, we already have a number of areas where we exceed the publicly known SOTA and this person will help us expand beyond.

This is a hybrid role with the expectation of working at least 3 days a week from one of our office hubs in San Francisco and Toronto.

What you'll do:

  • Pioneer cutting-edge Document AI systems at the forefront of generative AI innovation, building next-generation models that go beyond traditional document processing to achieve human-level understanding of complex legal and medical documents, intelligently extract key entities and relationships, perform sophisticated multi-document reasoning, and generate contextually-aware documents that transform business workflows.
  • Implement and advance technologies in:
  • Information Extraction (using traditional ML, LLMs, and multi-modal LLMs for entity recognition, relationship extraction, and document structure understanding)
  • Information Retrieval (query understanding, semantic search, hybrid retrieval architectures, and learning-to-rank models)
  • Data Management (schema design, knowledge graphs, distributed data pipelines, and petabyte-scale processing)
  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) with advanced techniques like multi-hop reasoning, chain-of-thought prompting, and self-consistency checks
  • Prompt Engineering (few-shot learning, instruction tuning, and context window optimization)
  • LLM fine-tuning (parameter-efficient techniques like LoRA/QLoRA, instruction fine-tuning, and domain adaptation)
  • Own technical roadmaps and work closely with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to integrate research findings into scalable, production-ready solutions.
  • Help set team best practices on how prompting experimentation and development is done; design and implement efficient procedures for benchmarking and optimizing prompt performance.
  • Act as a strategic advisor for leaders across the organization on driving business impact through machine learning.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship for a highly skilled team of data scientists and machine learning engineers, guiding them in solving complex business problems.
  • Collaborate with domain experts (legal, healthcare, etc), product managers, and engineers to translate insights into robust machine learning systems.
  • Create tools that empower internal teams and clients to make data-driven decisions.
  • Mentor junior team members, promoting a culture of excellence and collaboration.

What we look for:

  • 10+ years of experience in machine learning with multiple models deployed in operational settings.
  • PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or other quantitive field.
  • Strong proficiency with the latest Large Language Model (LLM) technologies.
  • Expertise in one or more areas of machine learning, such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, probabilistic modeling, or optimization.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and coaching skills.
  • High proficiency in a procedural programming language (e.g. Python).
  • Ability to translate and apply cutting edge research into practical solutions.
  • Strong leadership and mentorship abilities, with a passion for guiding and developing other team members.
