About the role

You'll shape the APIs, the agent-facing interfaces, and the authentication, authorization, and multi-tenancy that make them production-grade and enterprise-ready.
This role is hybrid, based in our San Francisco office.
This role may require participation in on-site interviews and/or completion of in-person onboarding processes.

TwelveLabs builds the intelligence layer to change that.
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.
