Job description

At Flowstate AI, we’re building AI agents that watch videos so humans don’t have to. Our platform enables enterprise customers to extract insights, structure data, and generate content from vast video libraries. As our founding AI/ML engineer, you’ll design and orchestrate multi-model pipelines that power video understanding, search, tagging, and agentic workflows that continuously improve from feedback. You’ll be at the heart of building the systems that turn raw video into actionable intelligence and revenue-generating insights.

In this role, you’ll develop evaluation frameworks to benchmark performance across accuracy, latency, and scale, optimize prompts and workflows for reliability and cost efficiency, and work with vector databases and embeddings to handle large video corpora. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers to productionize these systems on cloud infrastructure, shaping the AI foundation of a high-growth startup from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to impact the core product and help define the future of AI-driven video intelligence.
