Product Manager, Video Search and Embeddings

Who We Are

At TwelveLabs, we’re building multimodal foundation models that understand video the way humans do. Our models lead the field in video language modeling, enabling entirely new ways to search, summarize, and interact with video content and redefining what’s possible in AI.

With $107 million raised from world-class investors like NVIDIA’s NVentures, NEA, Radical Ventures, Index Ventures, and AI luminaries such as Fei-Fei Li and Alexandr Wang, we’re rapidly expanding a global team based in San Francisco and Seoul. Together, we’re unlocking the future of video native AI.

We believe diverse experiences drive breakthrough ideas. We value individuals who challenge convention and are eager to shape an entirely new category of intelligence.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Product Manager to own our video search and embedding systems—the core retrieval layer powering everything from semantic search and RAG to grounding video agents.

You’ll define the roadmap and lead end to end product execution across our embedding models, reranking systems, and vector infrastructure. You’ll work at the intersection of research and platform, turning state of the art ML into powerful tools for developers and intuitive experiences in our Playground. Your work will directly impact how users query, reason over, and interact with massive multimodal datasets.

This is a strategic and highly technical role for someone who thrives on shaping new product categories and driving real world application of advanced AI.

You will:

• Define and lead the strategy for search and embeddings, shaping how users retrieve and ground information from large scale, multimodal video corpora

• Drive execution across research, infra, and product teams , owning the lifecycle from model design through system integration and user impact

• Engage deeply with technical users such as ML engineers, search architects, and infra teams to inform product direction and validate performance against production needs

• Establish rigorous evaluation standards for search quality, latency, cost, and reranking performance, and partner with ML to set strong goals and meet them

• Translate model innovations into product leverage , crafting developer friendly APIs, Playground features, and workflows that showcase our model’s full potential
  

You may be a good fit if you have:

• Bring 5+ years of product management experience, including at least 1 years of owning search, retrieval, RAG, or embeddings in ML driven systems

• Have strong technical fluency and can read ML papers, understand embedding architectures, and collaborate easily with researchers and platform engineers

• Have shipped infrastructure or developer facing products, especially involving semantic search, dense or sparse or hybrid retrieval, vector databases, or cross encoder ranking

• Thrive in zero to one environments, where category conventions don’t exist and your product decisions shape the frontier

• Balance vision with execution rigor: you zoom out to define what the future should look like and zoom in to ship quality, performant features with urgency and care

Even if there are a few boxes that aren’t ticked through your prior experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you are a 0-1 achiever, a ferocious learner, and a kind and fun team player who motivates others, you will find a home at TwelveLabs.

We are a global company that values the uniqueness of each person’s journey. It is the differences in our cultural, educational, and life experiences that allow us to constantly challenge the status quo. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by our mission and eager to make an impact as we push the bounds of technology to transform the world. Join us as we revolutionize video understanding and multimodal AI.
