About Snorkel
At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.
We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. 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. 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!

- Own the recruiting tech stack, including ATS configuration, integrations, automation, data quality, vendor management, and tool optimization.
- Modernize TA operations through better systems, scalable processes, automation, and thoughtful use of AI.
- Lead recruiting coordination, ensuring a high-quality, efficient, and consistent candidate and hiring manager experience.
- Design and improve end-to-end recruiting processes across intake, approvals, job posting, sourcing workflows, interview scheduling, feedback collection, offers, onboarding handoffs, and reporting.
- Develop and maintain TA metrics, dashboards, insights and reporting for recruiting leadership, hiring managers, and company leadership.
- Use data to identify process gaps, pipeline bottlenecks, operational risks, interviewer capacity issues, and opportunities for improvement.
- Partner with recruiting leaders, People Operations, Finance, Legal, IT, and business stakeholders to ensure TA processes are scalable, compliant, and aligned with company priorities.
- Create governance and documentation for recruiting operations, including process guides, system standards, SLAs, data definitions, and reporting cadences.
- Evaluate and implement AI-enabled recruiting tools and workflows that improve recruiter productivity, candidate experience, scheduling efficiency, sourcing support, and decision quality.
- Build operational rhythms for headcount planning, recruiting capacity planning, funnel reviews, and hiring progress reporting.
- Ensure data integrity across recruiting systems so leaders can make confident decisions based on accurate information.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience building or leading TA operations in a hyper-growth technical startup environment.
- Deep experience owning recruiting systems, tools, processes, reporting, and operational infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of ATS architecture, recruiting workflows, system integrations, data hygiene, and recruiting analytics.
- Experience leading recruiting coordination or designing scheduling operations at scale.
- Strong analytical skills, with experience building dashboards, reporting frameworks, and metrics that drive business decisions.
- Experience using data to improve recruiting productivity, funnel conversion, hiring speed, candidate experience, and operational accountability.
- A track record of modernizing TA operations through process improvement, automation, tooling, or AI-enabled workflows.
- Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage cross-functional initiatives from design through implementation.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills across Recruiting, People, Finance, Legal, IT, and business leadership.
- Comfort operating in fast-changing environments where systems and processes need to be built, improved, and scaled quickly.
