Senior AI Engineer, Tools & Agents

WHO WE ARE

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!

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a senior AI engineer to own the integration layer that makes TwelveLabs' video AI accessible to the world.

Jockey is TwelveLabs' multimodal agent for video and image understanding. It's built on a knowledge store of ingested content, retrieval primitives like search, and an agent layer that orchestrates those primitives: planning, calling them, and reasoning over results to return grounded, cited answers. The engineer in this role owns the surfaces that make this system accessible to external developers and AI agents.

The engineer in this role decides how AI agents and developers connect to these capabilities, and you'll build the agent harness and the supporting infrastructure that makes that connection trustworthy at enterprise scale.

The center of gravity is our MCP server. You'll own it end-to...
