WHY WE WOULD WORK AT SNORKEL AI

Advance Safer AI

Help define and advance the frontier of AI through expert data development. Your work can improve how specialized systems are trained, evaluated, and deployed in high-consequence fields.

Work on Frontier Research

Build on Stanford AI Lab roots alongside a research-driven team with 250+ peer-reviewed publications and recognition from NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, and other leading conferences.

Build Agent Intelligence

Develop evaluation datasets, deterministic graders, and environments for browser, GUI, repository, command-line, and enterprise agents. Snorkel's work includes benchmarks such as Terminal-Bench and OSWorld 2.0.

Grow With a Scaling Company

Snorkel has expanded from programmatic labeling software into expert data, synthetic data, evaluation, benchmarks, and specialized agents. Its reported annualized revenue reached $350M–$375M in 2026, up from roughly $20M a year earlier.

Collaborate With Experts

Work across research, engineering, product, data operations, and domain specialists—including professors, lawyers, accountants, and other subject-matter experts—to solve difficult AI problems.

See Measurable Customer Impact

Help power production systems for organizations including Wayfair, Experian, Chubb, BNY, and the U.S. Air Force. Reported results include 99% accuracy, 10× faster development cycles, and 35% automation of Experian customer email responses.

MARKET AND TRACTION

GROWTH TACTICS

  • Expanded from programmatic labeling software into a hybrid business combining enterprise software, expert data-as-a-service, custom datasets, benchmarks, embedded AI research, and specialized agents.

  • Uses synthetic data, expert demonstrations, human review, rubrics, programmatic checks, and provenance tracking to address specialized training, post-training, and evaluation needs.

  • Builds browser, GUI, repository, command-line, and simulated enterprise environments for evaluating multi-step AI agents.
  • NOTABLE CUSTOMERS

  • Publicly identified customers and users include Wayfair, Experian, BNY, Chubb, Google, Apple, Intel, Stanford Medicine, DARPA, and the U.S. Air Force.

  • Snorkel reports production use across Fortune 500 companies, top U.S. banks, federal agencies, and leading large-language-model developers.
  • KEY METRICS

    ✦ KEY METRIC
  • Snorkel has raised approximately $585 million or more, including a $350 million Series E at a reported $3.5 billion valuation.

  • The company reported annualized revenue of approximately $350 million to $375 million in 2026, with TechCrunch reporting 18× growth over the prior year.

  • Reported customer outcomes include 99% or higher accuracy in several applications, 10× faster model-development cycles, a 5-point add-to-cart lift for Wayfair, and 35% automation of Experian customer email responses.
  • COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

    ✦ KEY METRIC
  • Combines programmatic labeling and weak supervision with expert-authored data, synthetic-data generation, human review, deterministic graders, and audit-ready provenance.

  • Focuses on specialized AI and high-consequence workflows where generic benchmarks and basic labeling are insufficient, including finance, insurance, healthcare, legal work, government, and software engineering.

  • Its Stanford research roots and reported record of more than 250 peer-reviewed publications support a research-driven approach to data and evaluation development.
  • MARKET POSITION

  • Positions itself as a frontier AI data lab and agentic data factory serving both AI labs and enterprises.

  • Competes in the expanding market for training data, post-training data, evaluation systems, benchmarks, and agent environments, while addressing the risk that basic labeling becomes increasingly automated by foundation models.
  • PRODUCT AND TECH

    Expert Data Development

    Creates specialized training, post-training, preference, and evaluation datasets using expert demonstrations, synthetic data, programmatic methods, rubrics, human review, and provenance tracking. This helps organizations address domain-specific model failures and improve AI reliability.

    Snorkel Flow Platform

    Snorkel's data-centric AI platform supports programmatic labeling, weak supervision, data curation, model development, error analysis, and human-in-the-loop workflows. It enables teams to build training data without relying solely on manual annotation.

    Evaluation and Benchmarks

    Develops evaluation datasets, deterministic graders, rubrics, leaderboards, and benchmarks such as Terminal-Bench, Senior SWE-bench, and OSWorld 2.0. These tools measure model and agent performance against task-specific and verifiable criteria.

    Agent Evaluation Environments

    Provides browser, GUI, repository, command-line, and simulated enterprise environments for testing multi-step, stateful, and tool-using AI agents. Environments can incorporate customer-specific tools, codebases, permissions, corpora, and workflows.

    Specialized AI Agents

    Builds custom agents for high-consequence workflows in areas including finance, insurance underwriting, healthcare, government, legal work, and software engineering. These systems are evaluated with domain-specific, programmatic pass/fail criteria rather than generic benchmarks.
