Sieve is the only AI research lab exclusively focused on video data. We combine exabyte-scale video infrastructure, novel video understanding techniques, and dozens of data sources to develop datasets that push the frontier of video modeling. Video makes up 80% of internet traffic and has become the enabling digital medium powering creativity, communication, gaming, AR/VR, and robotics. Sieve exists to solve the biggest bottleneck in growth of these applications: high-quality training data.
We've partnered with top AI labs and did $XXM last quarter alone, as a team of just 12 people. We also raised our Series A earlier this year from Tier 1 firms such as Matrix Partners, Swift Ventures, Y Combinator, and AI Grant.
About the RoleAs a distributed systems engineer at Sieve, you’ll design and engineer systems that handle the compute, scheduling, and orchestration of complex ML + ETL pipelines that need to run quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively on large sums of video.
You’re likely a good fit if you love optimizing for system uptime, have worked with cloud technologies, optimizing hyper-fast distributed systems at the scale of thousands of GPUs, and building great internal tooling and CI/CD for rapid iteration.
Requirements3+ years of experience building foundational data infrastructure
Proficient in working across diverse cloud architectures
Designed and maintained pipelines that process petabytes of data
Developed robust CI/CD pipelines tailored for ML-focused teams
Strong coding experience with Go and Python; Experience with Rust is a plus

What We Do
Sieve is the only AI research lab exclusively focused on video data.
Video already makes up 80% of internet traffic and has become the dominant medium driving creativity, communication, gaming, AR/VR, and robotics. Unlocking the ability to truly model video is the key to breakthroughs across all of these domains but progress has been bottlenecked by one thing: high-quality training data. That’s where Sieve comes in.
We bring together exabyte-scale video infrastructure, novel video understanding techniques, and dozens of diverse data sources to create datasets that push the frontier of video modeling. This unique combination allows us to deliver data with unmatched precision, quality, and speed which has earned the trust of frontier AI labs, Fortune 100 companies, and fast-growing generative AI startups.
