Role Overview
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will take charge of the infrastructure and integration layer that ensures Twelve Labs models are seamlessly accessible on partner platforms. Your responsibilities will encompass everything beyond the models, including packaging, validating, deploying model containers, designing API surfaces for various platforms, routing requests, and maintaining production reliability across diverse cloud environments.
You will collaborate closely with our Science, Product, and ML Engineering teams to align model and product roadmaps for successful platform integrations. Your expertise in external model orchestration will be pivotal; you will need to comprehend model component functionalities to make informed integration decisions, although model optimization will not be part of your role. Your contributions will significantly enhance our capacity to reliably deliver new model versions and features to users across all platforms.
Willingness to travel up to 10% annually for conferences, off-site meetings, and other business-related events is expected. Participation in on-site interviews and/or in-person onboarding processes may also be required.
