About Snorkel

Snorkel AI is the frontier AI data lab, helping teams build the data and environments behind high-performing frontier and agentic AI. We combine technology with research-driven AI data development to create datasets, benchmarks, evals, and custom solutions for real-world AI systems. Founded out of the Stanford AI Lab in 2019, Snorkel works with leading AI labs and enterprises to move from better data to better outcomes.

Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!

About the Role

Snorkel AI is hiring a Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering to build and lead our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) function within the Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) organization.

This team is responsible for the technical execution layer of DaaS delivery — owning the systems, workflows, and quality frameworks that power high-quality dataset production at scale.

You will lead a team of engineers who operate across the full AI data lifecycle: designing evaluation systems, building ML-assisted workflows, and developing the technical foundations that make human-in-the-loop (HITL) data generation faster, more reliable, and scalable.

This is a hands-on, player coach role where you’ll both help define the strategy and architecture of our data pipelines while staying close to implementation. As a founding leader, you will establish how FDE partners with Delivery, Engineering, and Research to ensure consistent, high-quality execution across all DaaS projects.

You’ll operate at the intersection of data engineering, ML engineering, and production operations, driving the evolution of our technical delivery capabilities and enabling Snorkel to scale its impact across increasingly complex AI workloads.

Main Responsibilities

  • Build and lead the Forward Deployed Engineering function, defining the team’s operating model, technical roadmap, and standards for execution
  • Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing team, fostering strong ownership, velocity, and engineering excellence
  • Own the design and evolution of end-to-end AI data pipelines, including dataset generation, evaluation systems, and quality frameworks
  • Drive development of ML-assisted and HITL workflows that improve the speed, scalability, and reliability of data production
  • Establish and standardize measurement, benchmarking, and validation systems to ensure consistent, high-quality dataset delivery Develop scalable internal tooling and workflows for orchestration, monitoring, and delivery, reducing bottlenecks and improving throughput
  • Partner cross-functionally with Delivery, Engineering, and Research to productionize new approaches and continuously improve DaaS capabilities

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of experience in AI/ML/GenAI engineering, forward deployed engineering, solution engineering or applied AI roles, with strong hands-on technical depth
  • 2+ years of experience leading or managing engineers in a hands-on, player-coach capacity
  • Strong experience building and operating data pipelines and ML/LLM-based workflows in production environments
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and modern data tooling; experience integrating systems via APIs. Has written code in the last 2 years
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks, quality measurement systems, or benchmarking approaches for ML systems
  • Strong systems thinking — ability to design scalable, reusable solutions rather than one-off implementations
  • Proven ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and drive execution across cross-functional teams. Start-up or growth-stage experience is strongly preferred.
  • Customer-facing, consulting, or services experience is strongly preferred

Nice to have:

  • Experience with human-in-the-loop (HITL) systems, data annotation workflows, or data-centric AI approaches.
  • Familiarity with synthetic data generation or model-assisted labeling techniques.
  • Experience building internal platforms or tooling for delivery or operations teams

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
