# Research Engineer

Cloudglue - Video Understanding Infrastructure Cloudglue is a Y Combinator-backed startup building developer APIs that turn video and audio into structured, searchable data. We handle the hard infrastructure - transcription, visual analysis, search, extraction - so developers can build on top of video without managing ML pipelines themselves. We process millions of minutes of video for customers building search, analytics, and automation products. The research problems are real: how do you retrieve the right 10 seconds from 10,000 hours of video? How do you extract structured facts from noisy, multimodal content? How do you reason across visual and spoken information at scale? Our team has shipped large-scale systems at Snapchat and Amazon, with work presented at NeurIPS, ICCV, CVPR, KubeCon, and DEF CON. We’re a small, technical team where researchers ship code and engineers read papers. The Role We’re looking for a research engineer to work on the core multimodal retrieval and video reasoning systems that power Cloudglue. This is a 50/50 research and engineering role - you’ll design novel approaches to hard retrieval and understanding problems, and you’ll ship them into productio
