About this role

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset - who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. We are hiring a Staff Research Scientist, Exotic AI for our AI Research team. You will build the next-generation training and learning platform for physical AI: models that perceive, reason about, and act within structured environments. This is a greenfield (0 to 1) effort at the intersection of representation learning, world models, and policy optimization. You will help define its technical direction from day one. AS A STAFF RESEARCH SCIENTIST YOU WILL: - Design and build scalable training infrastructure for representation models (e.g., contrastive and self-supervised approaches like CLIP/SigLIP, DINO/MAE, and joint-embedding predictive architectures) - Develop latent world models that learn environment dynamics through imagined rollouts, enabling model-based reasoning and planning (Dreamer-style, I-JEPA/V-JEPA families) - Architect and implement action/policy model pipelines, including vision-language-action models and diffusion-based policy learning - Build generative simulator frameworks that produce controllable, physically plausible future states (video world models in the spirit of Cosmos/Genie/Sora) - Develop multimodal generative model capabilities that fuse visual, language, and structured inputs for downstream reasoning and decision-making - Lead cross-team tech
