Join Us in Building the Search Engine for Video đ
At lookup, we believe the world's most valuable data asset is trapped. Video is everywhere, but it's unsearchableâa black box of insight that no one can open. Weâre changing that. We're building the search engine for the visual world, so anyone can find a single moment in a mountain of footage, ask + analyse any video and autonomously take decisions from teaching our machines to watch a video.Â
Our Mission
To make video as accessible to machines as text and voice are today.
Text is queryable. Voice is transcribed. Video, the largest and richest data source of all, is still a black box. A computer can't understand it, and so its value remains trapped.
Our mission at lookup is to fix this.
When video is truly accessible to machines, it doesn't just mean a person can finally search their archives. It means an entirely new generation of automated workflows, creative tools, and intelligent applications can be built. We are not just building an app; we are building the API for software to see the world!
The lookup Engine: The Core Platform
At its core, lookup is a hardware-agnostic, API-first platform designed to do for unstructured video what a database does for structured data. Our proprietary platform ingests any video feed and transforms it into a rich, structured index. Every elementâdialogue, on-screen text, objects, and actionsâis cataloged, creating a queryable asset that allows users to ask complex questions about their visual content and receive answers in milliseconds.
Our Launch: "Ask Video Anything"
We published our "Ask Video Anything" engine. This public beta showcased our first-vision understanding, general-purpose modelâa multi-modal AI optimized for the core tasks of Content Discovery and Visual Question Answering (VQA).

Examples of technical challenges you will work on include: distributed video storage, a unified application framework and data model for indexing large video libraries, lowâlatency clip retrieval, vector search at scale, and endâtoâend build, test, deploy, and observability in cloud environments.
What Youâll Do:
- Design and build robust backend services and APIs (REST, gRPC) for vector search, video summarization, and video Q&A.
- Own API performance and reliability, including lowâlatency retrieval, pagination, rate limiting, and backwardsâcompatible versioning.
- Design schemas and tune queries in Postgres, and integrate with unstructured storage.
- Implement observability across metrics, logs, and traces. Set error budgets and SLOs.
- Write clear design docs and ship highâquality, wellâtested code.

Who You Are:
- 3+ years of professional experience in backend development.
- Proven experience building and scaling polished WebSocket, gRPC, and REST APIs.
- Exposure to distributed systems and container orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes).
- Handsâon experience with AWS.
- Strong knowledge of SQL (Postgres) and NoSQL (e.g., Cassandra), including schema design, query optimization, and scaling.
- Familiarity with our stack is a plus, but not mandatory: Python (FastAPI), Celery, Kafka, Postgres, Redis, Weaviate, React.
- Ability to diagnose complex issues, identify root causes, and implement effective fixes.
- Comfortable working in a fastâpaced startup environment.
Nice to have:
- Hands-on work with LLM agents, vector embeddings, or RAG applications.
- Building video streaming pipelines and storage systems at scale (FFmpeg, RTSP, WebRTC).
- Proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS) and responsive UI design.
Location & Culture
- Full-time, in-office role in Bangalore (weâre building fast and hands-on).
- Must be comfortable with a high-paced environment and collaboration across PST time zones for our US customers and investors.
- Expect startup speed â daily founder syncs, rapid design-to-prototype cycles, and a culture of deep ownership.
Why Youâll Love This Role
- Work on the frontier of video understanding and real-world AI â products that can redefine trust and automation.
- Build core APIs that make video queryable and power real customer use.
- Own systems end to end: performance, reliability, and developer experience.
- Work closely with founders and collaborate in person in Bangalore.
- Competitive salary with meaningful early equity.

About the company
Syook is an established, Series A funded startup headquartered in Bengaluru, working in the B2B space. We are
currently on the path of high growth and productivity, and great culture building (because we
know the two go hand in hand)! We are looking for folks who will ask questions like why/why
not, what can I do to make this better, how can I help the company and most importantly, what
can the company do to help you.
Our flagship product Syook InSite allows businesses to visualize their operations, providing
information that can easily translate into measurable impact on the bottom-line. InSite is an
Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) solution that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons to
generate highly-accurate location data of all your resources (both assets and people), at much
lower costs than comparable technologies. The result: Quick RoI and Improved Operational
Performance. Itâs Industry 4.0, ready for deployment!
Why you might be excited about us
1. We're working to solve a massive global problem and help organizations be more
competitive. We love solving problems using technology and are bridging a massive gap
in the operations excellence domain.
2. We're small, so you'll be able to contribute efficiently and without bureaucracy. You'll
quickly have responsibility over big areas of our product.
3. Our team has a wide range of experiences (Oilfield, Telecom, Psychology PhD, etc.) and
are excited to learn from you, too.
4. You'll be able to work independently and set your own schedule. We don't micromanage
and will help you do great work. We trust our people and believe that each person here
puts their best foot forward.
5. We'll mould your role to shape a career you're excited about. We care a ton about your
satisfaction and job happiness, and will help prep you for whatever you're looking for in
the future.
6. We work hard and also highly value balanced work/life. We care about family and your
own personal development, and don't expect for you to be always engaged with work.
Why you might not be excited about us
1. We're small (35+ people in the company now), so if you like more established
companies, it's not (yet) the right time. You'll help build our company's culture.
2. Since we're an early stage startup, projects and priorities may shift.
3. Our customers love us, and there's a lot we can improve. It's a great place to be, but it
means there's some jank. (Nothing too scary! đ)
4. We can't (yet) provide constant close mentorship for junior developers. As we grow, we'll
get a lot better at this.
5. Since you'll have a lot of responsibility and creativity over projects, they may not be
defined perfectly initially. You'll be expected to bring your own experience and
perspective to help us do the right things, and raise flags if you think we should do
things differently.
