Job Summary

New grad AI researcher to design agentic frameworks and autonomous research agents in reinforcement learning, building coding agents and multi-agent collaboration systems on Snowflake's AI Research team, with opportunities to publish at top venues and ship production-ready research.
Location: Bellevue
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Data Science & Machine Learning
Seniority: Entry level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Design and develop agentic frameworks powered by recursive self-improvement loops, enabling AI systems that iteratively refine their own capabilities and strategies
  • •Build and evaluate auto research agents — systems capable of autonomously formulating hypotheses, executing experiments, and synthesizing findings
  • •Develop coding agents that understand, generate, and debug code across complex, multi-step programming tasks
  • •Conduct research in reinforcement learning with a focus on RLHF, DPO, and PPO as mechanisms for aligning and improving agentic behaviors
  • •Contribute to multi-agent systems where specialized agents collaborate, negotiate, and self-organize to solve enterprise-scale problems

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 176,000 - 230,000 annually

Key Requirements

  • •PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field (completing or recently completed; or equivalent research experience)
  • •Foundational expertise in reinforcement learning algorithms, including RLHF, DPO, PPO, or multi-agent systems
  • •Research experience in LLM post-training, fine-tuning, or reasoning model development
  • •Demonstrated ability to implement and experiment with agentic architectures — including tool-use, planning, and self-correction loops
  • •Proficiency in Python and at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch or JAX strongly preferred)
