About Snorkel 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! The Role We're looking for our founding AI Data Product Manager to own Snorkel's Agentic Data and RL Environments roadmap. In this role, you'll lead the product strategy for a variety of data types (e.g. Agentic Coding, Computer Use). You will shape the roadmap for the datasets Snorkel invests in by understanding the market, incorporating frontier lab needs and collaborating with researchers at Snorkel and our academic partners. This role is highly cross-functional, sitting between Research, GTM and Operations. As a founding member for this role, you will be in charge of setting up the frameworks to build the roadmap, gather data from relevant sources, and share the roadmap with both internal and external stakeholders.
