Staff Machine Learning Engineer
EvenUpEvenUp uses data and technology to help plaintiffs and attorneys achieve better legal outcomes.
Role Description Join EvenUp as a Staff Machine Learning Engineer and help set the technical direction for how machine learning powers Piai™, our proprietary claims-intelligence platform. This is a technical leadership role - you'll shape modeling strategy across a broad problem space, turning raw legal and medical data into production systems that improve outcomes for personal-injury clients. You'll partner closely with Product, Research, and Engineering leaders to set strategy, and you'll be a technical anchor for the broader ML team - setting standards, mentoring senior engineers, and driving decisions that shape both product outcomes and company growth. What You'll Do - Set technical strategy for a broad area of the ML roadmap, translating ambiguous business and research goals into scoped, production-ready systems. - Tackle the hardest modeling problems in the org - complex reasoning, long-context and multi-document understanding, or other frontier challenges as they come up. - Apply advanced ML techniques - fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, retrieval, or others - and know when a technique is the right tool versus over-engineering. - Establish rigorous evaluation standards, reducing hallucinations, improving factual consistency, and defining what "good" looks like for a given system. - Drive data excellence through hands-on analysis of training and evaluation data, managing noise, edge cases, and drift at scale. - Provide technical leadership and mentorship across the ML team, raising the bar for experimentation, benchmarking, and engineering rigor. - Act as the bridge between research and production - ensuring new techniques get integrated into shippable systems, not just proofs of concept. - Partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, and legal subject-matter experts to set technical direction. - Cost effectively scale practical machine learning systems in a hyper-growth environment, ensuring they remain grounded in real business and customer needs. Qualifications - 7+ years of hands-on ML engineering experience, with multiple models shipped and running in production. - Deep expertise in ML and NLP, including LLMs, with a track record of solving hard modeling problems - not just applying existing recipes. - High proficiency in Python and strong command of modern ML/NLP frameworks. - Demonstrated ability to set technical strategy and drive execution in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. - A track record of mentoring engineers and raising technical standards beyond your own output. - Experience partnering directly with Product and Engineering leadership, not just executing their asks. Nice to Have - PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field. - Experience with document understanding, entity/relationship extraction, or structured extraction from unstructured text. - Experience with LLM fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, QLoRA, RLHF/RLVR) or advanced prompt engineering. - Experience in a high-growth startup environment. - Open to remote candidates or 3 days a week hybrid from our Toronto or San Francisco hubs. Benefits - Choice of medical, dental, and vision insurance plans for you and your family. - Additional insurance coverage options for life, accident, or critical illness. - Flexible paid time off, sick leave, short-term and long-term disability. - 10 US observed holidays, and Canadian statutory holidays by province. - A home office stipend. - 401(k) for US-based employees and RRSP for Canada-based employees. - Paid parental leave. - A local in-person meet-up program. - Hubs in San Francisco and Toronto.
