About the team :

At EvenUp, we leverage the power of technology to bring fairness and accessibility to the legal system. Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI are the foundation of our technology strategy, especially in Document AI : the ability to deeply understand, reason across, and generate legal and medical documents at scale. This is one of the largest opportunities in applied AI, and one of the most impactful.

We are seeking a Principal Machine Learning Engineer, the highest individual contributor level at EvenUp, who will help define not just our technology roadmap, but the future of Document AI itself. This role is for someone who thrives on both vision and execution : pioneering new approaches in a fast-evolving field, while also shipping systems that redefine what is possible in legal technology.

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 or Toronto.

What you'll do :

• Help define and drive the technical vision at EvenUp, identifying the most impactful opportunities in generative AI and ensuring the company remains at the forefront of the rapidly evolving Document AI landscape.
• Invent and deliver the next generation of Document AI and Conversational AI, enabling robust understanding, reasoning, and generation across diverse legal and medical documents, as well as natural, accurate, and context-aware interactions with users through conversational interfaces.
• Lead research-to-production innovation in :

Information Extraction & Reasoning : scalable multi-document entity / relation extraction, knowledge graph construction, and long-context reasoning.

What we look for :

Why this role matters :

This is a rare opportunity to operate at the frontier of generative AI in one of its most consequential applications. As Principal MLE at EvenUp, you won't just be solving technical challenges-you will be defining the roadmap of a company and shaping the trajectory of an industry.

If you want to push beyond today's limits of LLMs, invent the future of Document AI, and see your work translate into justice and fairness for millions of people, we'd love to meet you.
