Partner Engineering Lead

Overview

Why this role?

Our Go-to-Market (GTM) team is responsible for empowering developers and enterprises to build intelligent video applications with the Twelve Labs APIs, guiding and supporting customers to attain maximum benefits from building with our highly-capable models. The Global Partnerships team is focused on building high leverage integrations that drive toward the partner’s and TwelveLabs’s goals.

As the Partner Engineering Lead, you will be a crucial member of our GTM team in helping partners design and implement high impact integrations using our APIs or deeply embedding our technology across the broader AI ecosystem. You will have an immense sense of autonomy for our technical pre and post-sales and work very closely with our product and engineering team to reach our goals and lay the foundation for the company’s growth. You will engage customers from different audience groups (e.g, developers, partners, startups, enterprises) to understand their challenges and expectations.

You are comfortable in leading conversations with the customer and are naturally curious about their business to know how best to integrate. You have the technical acumen and ability to design and execute experiments that demonstrate the transformative business values. You have a deep understanding of cloud and data infrastructure and the points of leverage for video.

This role sits at the intersection of partner engineering, product management, and solution architecture , ensuring that TwelveLabs’ technology is seamlessly integrated into partner ecosystems while also influencing our product roadmap. It is a highly self-directed and creative role, so you should be someone who thrives in an unstructured, rapidly expanding and evolving environment.

A typical day at Twelve Labs would look like this :

2+ years of experience as an AWS Solutions Architect

A real passion for AI and a strong desire to become an expert on the applications of large visual-models. (ML experience is a plus)

Excellent communication skills and technical chops. You can seamlessly toggle between presenting to customer stakeholders and getting in the weeds whiteboarding with technical audiences.

Strong knowledge of HTTP, JavaScript, Web SDKs, and APIs. You are able to comfortably implement software prototypes leveraging our APIs from scratch.

Strong market awareness. You are able to gather, filter, and process complex market (industry, customer, prospect) intelligence.
