Senior Technical Program Manager

Job description

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 In our fast-growing organization, we are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager who can reliably deliver complex technical programs spanning platform infrastructure, model pipelines, console products, and company-wide initiatives. This role is not simply an organizer. It is a role that connects Engineering, Science, Product, and GTM (Go-To-Market) organizations — identifying and quantifying technical risks early, structuring trade-off decisions, and guiding the organization to execute the right things in the right order. In This Role, You Will - Simultaneously manage multiple large programs across platform infrastructure (GPU capacity planning, infrastructure migration, etc.), models (pipeline stabilization, quality gates), products (Playground, API, SDK), and company-wide strategic initiatives - Define project scope, dependencies, risks, and milestones, and collaboratively build execution plans - Accelerate decision-making by presenting roadmaps and solutions with a clear understanding of cross-team technical trade-offs (architecture decisions, priorities, launch schedules) - Manage escalation criteria and communication structures when issues arise to prevent slowdowns in execution speed - Proactively detect and align information asymmetry and priority misalignment between distributed KR/US teams What We're Looking For - Foundational knowledge in computer science or a related technical field — sufficient to quickly understand the context of engineering discussions such as system design, networking, and data structures - Experience as an Engineer or Product Manager leading prioritization of complex technical challenges and driving cross-team execution - Technical capability to directly understand and structure dependencies and risks across models, products, and infrastructure - The ability to create structure in ambiguous situations and, when needed, take initiative by drafting the first version yourself - Proactiveness that goes beyond executing assigned tasks — identifying problems independently and taking action to solve them - Ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders on both the KR and US sides (business-level communication in both Korean and English are required for this role) Nice to Have - Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field - Experience in technology-based product development or operations Even if there are a few checkboxes 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 Twelve Labs. 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.
