## About the role

TwelveLabs spent years building the intelligence layer for video: shared infrastructure, multimodal video models, and an agent harness — the orchestration layer — that can understand and reason over video. Our vision for video superintelligence and pioneering work for large-scale video understanding allowed us to raise over $200M from Silicon Valley's best VCs like Index Ventures and NEA and leading enterprises like Nvidia and Amazon that are shaping the future of AI.

## What they're looking for

- You have built and grown a product from zero to meaningful adoption. You can explain what users did, what changed because of your decisions, and where you were wrong
- You have exceptional product judgment and know what great looks like. You can find the narrow workflow that matters, reduce a complex technology to a simple experience, and say no to attractive distractions
- You understand the realities of AI-native products: probabilistic behavior, evaluation design, trust, human review, privacy and rights constraints, and the tradeoffs between quality, latency, and cost
- You understand growth as part of the product. You have designed or led loops that improved activation, retention, distribution, or monetization, not just acquisition campaigns
- You recruit well and have built an early team of unusually strong, low-ego people. You know how to operate before every function has its own leader
- You are close to the work. You use the product, talk with users, inspect the data, and raise the quality bar through direct involvement
