Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of professional experience with machine learning, or 2+ years of professional experience with machine learning with an advanced degree in a relevant field
  • 1+ year of professional experience working directly with external customers to scope out build machine learning models, tools, or services

  • Experience building and maintaining large scale, production data pipelines for machine learning applications
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and strong technical communication skills

What the job involves

  • As an Applied Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll research and utilize established and state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques to successfully deliver solutions to our customers
  • You'll engage new ML use cases through hands-on customer problems and help generalize learnings into the core Snorkel Flow platform
  • Assist customers with the delivery of a Machine Learning project from beginning to end, including business case definition and scoping, data aggregation and exploration, algorithm selection, and model deployment to deliver business impact to the organization
  • Present findings and recommendations to customer stakeholders, assist with program ideation and technical program management, and brief materials
  • Design, develop, and deploy enterprise AI/ML solutions across various industries like finance, healthcare, insurance, retail and more
  • Serve as the voice of our customers for new ML paradigms, data science workflows, and share customer feedback to product teams

Our take

Demand for AI is increasing in almost every industry, but the machine learning that fuels it is tedious to set up. In order to train machine learning algorithms, training data must be labelled manually, and this contributes to expenses in time, money and resources when integrating AI within a business.

Snorkel AI develops programmatic approaches to data labelling in order to automate the setup process of machine learning and decrease the required timeframe for a business to begin providing AI services. In addition to these automated data categorization services, the company also integrates data training, management, and analysis into a unified AI-deployment platform.

The complex computer science behind AI setup has resulted in many businesses without computer science backgrounds being left behind, and Snorkel AI has set this as their target audience. As of 2023, this customer base has tripled in size since Snorkel AI's founding and in 2024, enjoyed a new round of funding. With these promising developments, the company continues to innovate the sector.
