About the role

This is an engineering delivery role where you’ll translate ambiguous customer needs into production-grade data, evaluation, and ML-assisted workflows. This is a high-impact role focused on end-to-end ownership of the AI data pipeline lifecycle, including developing and deploying ML-based workflows and building the technical foundations that make our human-in-the-loop (HITL) data generation and review faster, more reliable, and more effective.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in data science, data engineering, ML engineering, solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or other technical solution development roles
  • Strong practical experience with Python and SQL data tooling required
  • Familiarity with ML and LLM-based solutions, including applying ML techniques in production contexts and building validation, evaluation, or quality measurement workflows for ML/LLM-based systems
  • Experience translating ambiguous customer or stakeholder requirements into technical specifications, workflows, and delivered solutions
  • Experience integrating systems via APIs and building custom tooling or workflows for non-standard technical requirements
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!
