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 the 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 15 people. We also raised our Series A last year from Tier 1 firms such as Matrix Partners, Swift Ventures, Y Combinator, and AI Grant.
As a Product Engineer at Sieve, you'll build our video collection platform: a system that pays contributors for submitting video recordings.
You'll work full-stack across frontend, backend, systems, and mobile to ship products quickly, improve reliability, and scale the platform in supporting millions of users. You'll also build internal tools that help the team source, review, and deliver high-quality data efficiently. You'll own projects end-to-end.
