Fatemeh Torabi Asr was drawn to EvenUp by its unique mission and advanced technology approach—quite flattering, considering that she has a PhD in Computer Science and years of experience at the intersection of AI, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing.
“I connected deeply with EvenUp’s cause—to help plaintiffs secure fair outcomes—and I was equally impressed by how forward-thinking the machine learning and data teams are,” Fatemeh shares.
Since joining as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in September 2023, Fatemeh has been a key player in building the foundations of EvenUp’s cutting-edge AI tools.
Fatemeh thrives in EvenUp’s collaborative environment, where teams from various disciplines—including Product and Legal Operations—are aligned on tackling shared challenges.
“We’re not afraid to step out of our silos and involve others to solve customer pain points,” Fatemeh explains. This collaboration ensures alignment between what’s technologically possible and what customers truly need.
Fatemeh is particularly proud of her work with EvenUp’s Annotation Squad, part of the broader Data Science team.
“We’re building the foundational models that power EvenUp’s solutions, from classifying and tagging medical documents to innovating new LLM-based models to extract and consolidate information across documents.”
In her work at EvenUp, Fatemeh is encouraged to push boundaries and stay at the forefront of AI advancements. She highlights the team’s willingness to pivot and adapt, a mindset she feels sets EvenUp apart from other companies in the legal tech space. For example, the team isn’t afraid to make disruptive decisions if it means delivering more value to our customers.
One recent example is EvenUp’s work on annotation pipelines. Fatemeh describes it as a challenging but essential shift to stay competitive.
“We always get out of our comfort zones here, and we’re committed to using the latest AI methodologies to save time for customers and deliver exceptional results.”
EvenUp’s flexible work model has been a game-changer for Fatemeh, especially as a mom to a toddler. Working remotely allows her to maximize time with her family, whether sharing lunch breaks with her husband or being present as soon as her child gets home from daycare.
“The flexibility here is real, and there’s no pressure to work outside of core hours. It helps me balance work and family without sacrificing either.”
Fatemeh is also grateful for the strong mentorship culture at EvenUp.
“My managers provide invaluable feedback, blending constructive criticism with encouragement,” she shares.
She appreciates the well-established feedback systems—such as peer reviews and performance platforms—that foster a culture of continuous improvement.
EvenUp’s mission remains its strongest differentiator for Fatemeh. Her passion for AI, combined with the company’s commitment to innovation and impact, makes her confident in its future.
“This isn’t just another tech company. EvenUp opened this space in legal tech and has always been focused on helping people. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take what we do very seriously. That’s what makes this team so special.”
Fatemeh’s story is a testament to the culture of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth that defines EvenUp. If you’re excited to work on transformative products while making a real impact, explore career opportunities at EvenUp.
