Data Annotator - Expert Contributor (Contract)

We’re on a mission to democratize AI by building the definitive AI data development platform. The AI landscape has gone through incredible change between 2016, 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!

Become an Expert Contributor, today!

Snorkel is at the forefront of AI development, building high-quality datasets that leverage the strengths of Large Language Models (LLMs) in language understanding and data processing. While LLMs have excelled in tasks like language generation and pattern recognition, advancing their reasoning capabilities is the next frontier. Our goal is to push the boundaries of AI by designing and scaling datasets that will shape new AI technologies focused on complex reasoning tasks across a multitude of domains.

Role Overview

As an Expert Contributor (EC), you will play a pivotal role in creating, curating, and reviewing reasoning tasks for a groundbreaking AI benchmark. You'll help bridge the gap between what LLMs excel at now and the advanced reasoning capabilities we aim to achieve. Contributors will collaborate within a cohort environment, engaging in live learning sessions and leveraging shared incentives tied to achieving project milestones.
