Lead technical execution of synthetic data generation solutions to improve AI model training and performance.
Обязанности
- Snorkel AI is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer focused on Synthetic Data Generation to partner with leading AI labs and enterprises on their most critical AI initiatives.
- In this role, you will lead the technical execution of complex customer engagements where synthetic data is used to improve model training, evaluation, and performance. You will translate ambiguous model and data challenges into effective data strategies, build scalable generation and evaluation pipelines, and use experimentation to continuously improve data quality and downstream model outcomes.
- You will work across the full delivery lifecycle—from technical discovery and solution design through implementation, evaluation, and production delivery. You will also identify patterns across engagements and turn successful approaches into reusable capabilities, technical standards, and product improvements.
Требования
- 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, data science, applied AI, forward deployed engineering, or a similar technical role
- Strong Python skills and experience building reliable production data or ML systems, including containerizing with Docker and deploying on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Hands-on experience with LLMs—building model-based applications and data workflows with the modern GenAI/LLM stack, and integrating systems, models, and data sources through APIs
- Strong understanding of ML experimentation and evaluation, including defining metrics and using empirical results to guide technical decisions
- Experience building synthetic data, data augmentation, or model-generated training and evaluation datasets
- Experience with LLM evaluation techniques, including LLM-as-a-judge, model-based evaluation, rubric-based evaluation, or custom evaluators
- Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous technical problems from problem definition through delivery, with strong technical communication and experience working directly with customers and cross-functional stakeholders
- Experience serving as a technical lead—setting technical direction, driving architecture and key decisions, mentoring engineers, and creating reusable approaches that influence broader engineering or product outcomes
Будет плюсом
- Experience developing datasets for fine-tuning, preference optimization, or benchmarking, including human-in-the-loop generation and review workflows
- Experience building agentic environments and tasks—repo-scale coding tasks, tool-agent-user interaction design, and agent tool protocols and interoperability
- Experience with reinforcement learning for LLMs, including reward and verifier design and RL with verifiable rewards (RLVR)
- Experience working in fast-paced, customer-facing environments where requirements and technical approaches evolve quickly

- 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!
