About the role
TwelveLabs builds multimodal foundation models and products for multimodal intelligence and orchestration. The quality of those models and products depends on the quality of the data and evaluation work behind them, and that work depends on the internal tools the team uses daily. This role will own and build internal products to support model evaluation, regression testing, dataset discovery, and agentic context curation.
What they're looking for
- Strong backend engineer with real depth in at least one language (Python, Go, or similar). You design data models, services, and APIs that hold up under real use
- Genuine system design instinct. You can take an ambiguous problem, decide what to build, and make architectural calls you can defend
- A track record of building zero to one internal products and shipping them
- Comfortable as the primary or sole engineer building the foundations for a larger team that can easily onboard onto what you’ve built
- Comfort owning a product outright: scoping it, building it, shipping it, and supporting internal users, while keeping sight of how it fits into science, product, and go to market
- Experience with large unstructured datasets
More about this role
Video is 90% of the world's data. Most of it is invisible to machines.
TwelveLabs builds the intelligence layer to change that. Our multimodal AI models understand video the way humans do — across sight, sound, and motion — and power production-scale AI workloads across media, entertainment, sports, security, and government.
We have raised more than $210 million from NEA, Radical Ventures, Amazon, NVIDIA, Snowflake, Databricks, Index Ventures, NAVER Ventures, Korea Investment Partners, Quadrille Capital, Red Bull Ventures, and AI pioneers including Fei-Fei Li, Silvio Savarese, and Alexandr Wang.
We are a global company, headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Seoul, New York, and London, and employees around the world. We believe the differences in our cultural, educational, and life experiences make our products stronger. Building technology that understands the world in all its complexity requires people who see it from every angle. We are looking for individuals who are driven by hard problems and want their work to matter. Come build it with us!
