Michael J.

Senior Engineering Manager @ Twelve Labs (We Are Hiring!)

Washington, District of Columbia, United States

About

Mr. Jones leads the Public Sector engineering organization responsible for putting TwelveLabs video-understanding foundation models — Marengo and Pegasus — into the hands of U.S. federal, defense, and intelligence customers. His charter is deceptively simple and genuinely hard: take advanced multimodal AI and make it run reliably inside the most restricted computing environments on earth. That means owning the full arc from architecture to delivery — air-gapped and on-premises clusters, GPU-accelerated Kubernetes, and the Control Plane that lets customers operate TwelveLabs entirely on their own infrastructure — while shaping the deployment, security, and validation tooling that turns research-grade models into ATO ready production systems.
