Developer Experience Intern

Who we are

At TwelveLabs, 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 $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:

The Developer Experience Intern will create technical content and demo applications that accelerate how developers learn and build with TwelveLabs' video intelligence platform. Working closely with our Developer Experience team and Solutions Architect counterparts, you will translate cutting-edge multimodal video understanding capabilities into accessible tutorials, code samples, and educational resources that drive community engagement and API adoption.

Your work will directly impact thousands of developers discovering TwelveLabs and will contribute to our strategic goals around community-led growth and bottom-up platform adoption. This is a unique opportunity to shape developer education at a fast-growing AI infrastructure company while building a strong portfolio of published technical content.

In this role, you will:

• Develop two to three "boxed projects" over a three-month period, each consisting of a comprehensive technical article and accompanying demo application that showcases specific TwelveLabs API capabilities and use cases.

• Write in-depth tutorials and developer guides that will be published on our blog, documentation site, and shared across developer communities.

• Build reference implementations and code samples that demonstrate best practices for integrating video intelligence into real-world applications.

• Engage with our Discord community to understand developer pain points, answer questions about your published content, and gather insights that inform future educational materials.

• Collaborate with our Solutions Engineering team to ensure your projects address authentic customer use cases and technical patterns that developers encounter in production environments.

• Participate in content review cycles with our Head of Developer Experience - who will mentor you on technical writing, API design communication, and developer education best practices.

You may be a good fit if you have:

• Strong proficiency in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript with the ability to build functional demo applications and explain your implementation decisions clearly.

• Working knowledge of REST APIs, developer workflows, and modern development tools including Git and GitHub.

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely related field at the time of application and throughout the duration of the internship.

• Comfortable learning new technologies quickly and can navigate technical documentation to implement features independently.

• Experience with web development frameworks and can create demo applications that effectively showcase API capabilities to other developers.

Developer Relations Skills:

• Ability to explain complex technical concepts in clear, accessible language through blog posts, technical writing samples, or tutorial content.

• An active presence in developer communities such as Discord, Reddit, Stack Overflow, or Twitter/X, and understand how technical communities operate and what makes content valuable to developers.

• Posses a portfolio showcasing technical content creation, educational materials, personal projects, or open-source contributions that demonstrate both your coding ability and your communication skills.

• Ability to approach technical writing with a teaching mindset, understanding that great developer content requires both technical accuracy and pedagogical clarity.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Foundational understanding of AI and machine learning concepts, particularly in areas such as video understanding, multimodal AI, and computer vision.

• Experience with video processing, computer vision libraries, or multimodal AI applications would allow you to ramp up more quickly on TwelveLabs-specific use cases.

• Previous technical writing experience such as maintaining a developer blog, contributing to documentation projects, or creating educational content shows established patterns in developer communication.

• Active participation in AI and machine learning communities, whether through forum contributions, GitHub activity, or community event attendance, indicates alignment with the developer ecosystem we serve.
