San Francisco, United States Twelve Labs Inc. Full time

Who we are

At Twelve Labs, we are pioneering the development of cutting-edge multimodal foundation models that have the ability to comprehend videos just like humans do. Our models have redefined the standards in video-language modeling, empowering us with more intuitive and far-reaching capabilities, and fundamentally transforming the way we interact with and analyze various forms of media.

With a remarkable $77 million in Seed and Series A funding, our company is backed by top-tier venture capital firms such as NVIDIA’s NVentures, NEA, Radical Ventures, and Index Ventures, and prominent AI visionaries and founders such as Fei-Fei Li, Silvio Savarese, Alexandr Wang and more. Headquartered in San Francisco, with an influential APAC presence in Seoul, our global footprint underscores our commitment to driving worldwide innovation.

We are a global company that values the uniqueness of each person’s journey. It is the differences in our cultural, educational, and life experiences that allow us to constantly challenge the status quo. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by our mission and eager to make an impact as we push the bounds of technology to transform the world. Join us as we revolutionize video understanding and multimodal AI.

  • Mentor junior engineers/researchers, and hold a high bar around code quality / engineering best practices
  • Work across teams to understand and manage project priorities and product deliverables, evaluate trade-offs, and drive technical initiatives from ideation to execution to shipment
You may be a good fit if you have:
  • 7+ years of industry experience
  • Owned large scale distributed training efforts across thousands of accelerators
  • Experience with a panoply of HPC related tools and have developed strong opinions about how we should build our stack
  • A passion for solving the most pressing technical challenges, as opposed to the most intellectually satisfying ones
  • Strong Python and infrastructure-as-code expertise
  • Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English

Interview and Onboarding Process:

1) Recruiter Phone Screen

2) Initial Technical Assessment

3) Final round technical assessment & culture interview

4) Reference Checks

We're also excited to share that we'll do global onboarding in Seoul for all new hires (paid company travel).

Even if there are a few checkboxes that aren’t ticked through your prior experience, we still encourage you to apply If you are a 0-to-1 achiever, a ferocious learner, and a kind and fun team player who motivates others, you will find a home at Twelve Labs.

We welcome applicants from all walks of life and are committed to equal-opportunity employment. We cherish and celebrate diversity not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes our company much stronger.
