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
We're looking for Platform Engineers who combine strong infrastructure chops with real backend engineering depth. You'll build and operate the systems, services, and agent infrastructure that let product teams move fast and reliably — from data access layers and event-driven pipelines to the agent first architecture that will transform our ability to scale. Your work will directly allow us to scale the amount of high quality data we are able to deliver to our customers.
What they're looking for
- Design and build agent infrastructure that allows us to safely and reliably speed up workflows from engineering and operation teams
- Design and implement event-driven data flows using event brokers, CDC connectors, schema registries, event routing, and dead letter queues — ensuring events flow reliably and failures are visible and recoverable
- Set strategy and architecture for build systems, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines, and drive the transition toward robust, automated continuous deployment
- Contribute to infrastructure cost visibility and optimization — query cost estimation, workload right-sizing, and routing data to the most cost-effective storage tier for its access pattern
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to bring consistency and high standards to codebases, infrastructure, and processes
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!
Snorkel's Platform organization owns the infrastructure and services that power everything at Snorkel — the pipelines, evals, access layers, event systems, governance, compute, and agent infrastructure that every product team and customer deployment depends on. We're a small team with a large surface area, and we're in the middle of a foundational architecture shift: moving from a...
