Machine Learning Engineer 1 & 2 - Systems
EvenUp is on a mission to close the justice gap using technology and AI. They are looking for an early career Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer to join their AI R&D team, focusing on developing and deploying models that enhance their claims-intelligence platform.
Responsibilities
- 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
Skills
- Ph.D., M.S. or B.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)
- 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
- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP)
- Experiment-tracking tools (Weights & Biases, MLflow)
- Containerized deployment (Docker/Kubernetes)
Benefits
