About the role

  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the shared data access library and SDKs that Platform, Packaging, and Dataset API teams use to read from and write to multiple data sources (Snowflake, S3, RDS).
  • Design interfaces that abstract source-level complexity while providing built-in auth, RBAC enforcement, pagination, and query governance.
  • Design and implement event-driven data flows using event brokers, CDC connectors, schema registry, event routing, dead letter queues. Make sure events flow reliably and failures are visible and recoverable.
  • Build the systems that track how data moves through the platform (lineage), enforce who can access what (governance and RBAC), and log what happened (auditing).
  • Instrument the data platform with OpenTelemetry, define and monitor SLOs for query latency and pipeline success rates, and build alerting that catches issues before they become incidents. You will be on-call for the systems you build.

Requirements

  • Experience with AWS - S3, RDS, EKS, EventBridge, IAM.
  • Experience with Kubernetes.
  • Familiarity with data orchestration tools (Prefect, Airflow, or Dagster) and transformation frameworks (dbt).
  • You have built and operated pipelines, data access layers, or ETL/ELT systems in production.
  • Strong proficiency in Python.
  • Hands-on experience with SQL and at least two of: Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres.

Nice to have

  • Experience with event-driven architectures - CDC, event buses, schema registries, at-least-once delivery semantics.
  • Experience with OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse, or similar observability infrastructure.
  • Experience with Ray for distributed compute workloads.
