About the role

  • 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 is a hybrid, high autonomy role and the first on this team.
  • Strong backend engineer with real depth in at least one language (Python, Go, or similar).

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • Building technology that understands the world in all its complexity requires people who see it from every angle.
  • Come build it with us!
  • This role will own and build internal products to support model evaluation, regression testing, dataset discovery, and agentic context curation.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • Experience with large unstructured datasets.
  • You can stand up a usable interface when the work calls for it, but your center of gravity is the backend.
  • Experience reasoning about multimodal unstructured data (video, audio, images, text).
  • Direct video experience is not required.

Skills

  • Data platform, lakehouse, or pipeline experience across object storage, warehouses, and more than one cloud.

Benefits

  • 🦷 Full health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • ✈️ Flexible PTO and parental leave policy.
  • We believe the differences in our cultural, educational, and life experiences make our products stronger.
