Multimodal AI platform for video and image analysis and discovery
Coactive AI builds a multimodal platform for analyzing and discovering value in video and image content. The tech stack—React, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL with pgvector, Kafka, Spark, and Databricks—reflects a team optimized for real-time search and indexing over unstructured media. Hiring is concentrated in senior engineering roles across a small footprint, with stated pain points around time-to-value and scaling experiments to production, suggesting the company is navigating the typical early-stage tension between rapid prototyping and building durable infrastructure.
Coactive AI operates a Multimodal Application Platform (MAP) designed to help organizations unlock value from their video and image libraries. The platform handles content discovery, asset identification, trend analysis, and feeds downstream AI workflows. The company is based in San Jose with a 11–50-person team and is actively hiring in the United States, Canada, and Colombia. Current focus areas include full-stack application development, vector database services, and OpenAPI SDK tooling—all signals of a platform scaling beyond MVP into integrated developer workflows.
Frontend: Vite, React, TypeScript. Backend: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL with pgvector, MongoDB, MySQL. Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes. Data pipeline: Kafka, Apache Spark, Databricks. Observability: Datadog.
Active projects include full-stack application development, vector database services for multimodal search, and OpenAPI SDK development to integrate the platform into customer workflows.
