Research Engineer
Cloudglue, San Francisco, California +1
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 production where real customers depend on them.
What you will do
You’ll work across
- Multimodal retrieval – finding relevant moments across visual, audio, and text signals in large video collections
- Structured extraction – pulling entities, facts, and relationships from video content
- Video reasoning – understanding temporal, causal, and semantic relationships across long-form content
- Evaluation and benchmarking – designing metrics and datasets to measure real-world system quality
This is not a pure research role. You’ll be expected to take ideas from paper to prototype to production. But it’s also not a pure engineering role - we need someone with genuine research depth who can identify the right problems to work on and design novel solutions.
