Staff Security Engineer

Who we are

At Twelve Labs, we are pioneering the development of cutting-edge multimodal foundation models that have the ability to comprehend videos just like humans do. Our models have redefined the standards in video-language modeling, empowering us with more intuitive and far-reaching capabilities, and fundamentally transforming the way we interact with and analyze various forms of media. With a remarkable $107 million in Seed and Series A funding, our company is backed by top-tier venture capital firms such as NVIDIA’s NVentures, NEA, Radical Ventures, and Index Ventures, and prominent AI visionaries and founders such as Fei-Fei Li, Silvio Savarese, Alexandr Wang and more. Headquartered in San Francisco, with an influential APAC presence in Seoul, our global footprint underscores our commitment to driving worldwide innovation. 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.

About the Role

TwelveLabs is looking for a Staff Security Engineer to join our security team, working directly alongside our lead security engineer to mature and scale our security program. This is a generalist role with broad scope; you'll move fluidly across application security, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and AI/ML-specific threats.

• This isn't a SOC role. You won't be living in an alert queue.
• You'll be hands-on: identifying risks, building and improving controls to mitigate those risks, and partnering cross-functionally with engineering and infrastructure teams to make security a natural part of how we build and ship.

As a fast-moving AI company, we're also tackling security problems with limited established precedent: securing model weights, ML pipelines, and training infrastructure alongside more traditional domains. If you're energized by emerging threats, like to understand systems deeply, and want real impact at a company building cutting-edge video AI, this role was built for you.

• U.S. Citizenship is required as this role involves access to systems and infrastructure subject to U.S. government security requirements.

Location: We are currently only considering candidates based in the Pacific Time zone.
