at Snorkel AI
Full TimeWe’re on a mission to democratize AI by building the definitive AI data development platform. The AI landscape has gone through incredible change between 2016, 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!
We are looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our AI Platform team. Our AI Platform team builds innovative software systems to power the Snorkel Flow platform. This includes services to train and serve generative AI and machine learning models using novel data-centric techniques, libraries to support AI workflows for a variety of data modalities and task types, core training data management technologies, and more.
The AI platform roadmap includes introducing new workflows based on Snorkel AI research (such as RAG enrichment for generative AI), maturing existing AI use cases (such as document intelligence), and scaling recently launched capabilities to GA (such as image classification.
As Director of Engineering for this team, you will lead, develop and grow a team of talented engineers to meet Snorkel AI’s growth goals. You will work cross functionally with other engineering teams to extend platform capabilities and deliver new AI workflows, with product management and customers to deeply understand and build for user needs, with applied research to develop novel AI techniques, and with GTM partners to help us market, sell and support Snorkel AI offerings to help customers be successful.
