What they do
Snorkel AI built its name on programmatic data labeling and data-centric AI development, and now sells a 'Data as a Service' offering. The tell in this hire is that a platform company is now packaging forward-deployed delivery as a product for leading labs and enterprises.
What “forward deployed” means here
The flavor leans solutions-engineering: you deliver Snorkel's data-development platform into customer environments and own the outcome. Because Snorkel is standing up IC, Manager and Head of FDE roles simultaneously, early ICs help define how the delivery motion actually works.
Comp & leveling
The IC seat lists $150K–$320K, with the top of the org (Head of FDE) around $220K–$350K OTE. Competitive rather than lab-tier cash, but the band is wide enough that strong data-platform experience is well rewarded.
Growth signals
Posting an entire FDE ladder at once — IC, Manager, Head — is a company building a function deliberately, not backfilling one hire. Framing delivery as a service for 'leading labs' also signals where the revenue is heading.
