Research Scientist

The role

You will prototype, build, and deploy innovative AI solutions. This role involves translating research breakthroughs into scalable, practical applications.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and validate novel AI techniques for data development such as synthetic data generation, utilizing techniques such as LLM as a Judge
• Prototype and build end-to-end workflows, integrating research ideas into scalable systems
• Write high-quality, maintainable code, ensuring robust implementation of research-driven innovations
• Move fast and adapt by iterating on solutions in response to new challenges, customer needs, and emerging research
• Work closely with real-world design partners, testing solutions in applied settings with measurable impact
• Collaborate with research scientists, engineers, and industry partners to push forward Snorkel AI’s broader research initiatives and rapidly productionize prototypes

Nice to have

• Strong expertise in AI, NLP, multi-modal models, LLMs, and generative AI, with an emphasis on applied research and system-building
• Experience in developing, experimenting, and deploying AI models at scale
• Proficiency in Python and machine learning frameworks (NumPy, Scikit-learn, Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
• Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g., clean coding, modular design, version control)
• Familiarity with ML infrastructure, cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud), and accelerators (GPUs, TPUs)
• Ability to work in a fast-moving, iterative environment, comfortable with ambiguity and open-ended challenges
• A bias for action—willing to roll up your sleeves, experiment, and move quickly to solve problems
• A Ph.D. in machine learning or a related field with a strong publication record
