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.
We are inventing the next generation of document intelligence and conversation automation. Our platform pairs cutting‑edge large‑language‑model research with a deep understanding of medical, legal, and insurance workflows to unlock tasks that—until now—had almost zero automation. Think: auto‑triaging thousands of pages of medical records for a personal‑injury case in seconds, at scale. Because the generative‑AI frontier moves daily, we operate like an applied‑research lab: rapid pilots, direct user feedback, and a short path from idea to production. You’ll join a small team of distinguished engineers, AI researchers, and legal experts. Your mandate: push the state of the art and ship. Expect to prototype novel methods on Monday, validate with real case data by Friday, and see your code in the product a month later.
What You’ll Do
Research & Prototype Design and evaluate new approaches in retrieval‑augmented generation, tool‑use agents, multimodal LLMs, or self‑supervised document representation—whichever unlocks the next pain‑point for our users.
Domain Adaptation Fine‑tune and align models to the quirks of long, jargon‑dense medical/legal corpora (ICD codes, CPTs, deposition transcripts, insurance clauses).
Agentic Systems Build and benchmark autonomous chains that decide when to call OCR, which precedents to cite, or how to interview a claimant—all with safety and auditability baked in.
Measurement & Safety Create eval suites for factuality, legal soundness, and bias. Propose mitigations where gaps appear.
Publish & Share If your work advances the field, we’ll support conference submissions—credit where credit is due.
Minimum Qualifications
Pursuing a Ph.D. in CS, ECE, Statistics, or related field with a research focus in ML / NLP / Generative AI.
Strong grasp of modern LLM architectures (transformers, attention variants), training/fine‑tuning pipelines (LoRA, PEFT, RL‑HF), and evaluation methods.
Fluency in Python.
Demonstrated ability to turn research ideas into working prototypes (open‑source projects, or industry experience).
Intellectual curiosity, rapid learning loop, and the grit to thrive in an ambiguous, 0‑to‑1 environment.
Nice‑to‑Haves
Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen) or building tool‑using LLM agents from scratch.
Hands‑on with long‑context or multimodal models.
Familiarity with vector databases, RAG orchestration, or document triage pipelines (OCR, layout parsing).
What You’ll Gain
Impact on Day 1 – Your code runs on live cases, not in a sandbox.
Mentorship – Weekly 1‑on‑1s with our Head of AI and access to attorneys for domain deep‑dives.
Publication Support – Travel stipend and legal review for papers or posters.
Conversion Path – High‑performing interns are first‑in‑line for full‑time research scientist or ML engineer offers.
This is a paid internship and compensation is determined by a number of factors from location, research and impact.
