Snorkel AI builds specialized training data, benchmarks, and evaluation environments that help frontier models and agents perform in high-stakes domains. Backed by Greylock, Lightspeed and GV.
About the role
This role is ideal for candidates who love both research and building real AI systems in a dynamic, high-impact setting. A Ph.D. in machine learning or a related field with a strong publication record is preferred, but we also welcome applications from those with equivalent expertise gained through industry experience, research labs, or other career paths.
What they're looking for
- Strong expertise in AI, NLP, multi-modal models, LLMs, and generative AI, with an emphasis on applied research and system-building
- Experience in developing, experimenting, and deploying AI models at scale
- Proficiency in Python and machine learning frameworks (NumPy, Scikit-learn, Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
- Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g., clean coding, modular design, version control)
- Familiarity with ML infrastructure, cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud), and accelerators (GPUs, TPUs)
- Ability to work in a fast-moving, iterative environment, comfortable with ambiguity and open-ended challenges
More about this role
At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.
We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!
