About the role

  • We process petabytes of video across thousands of nodes and multiple cloud environments, and as we scale, reliability, observability, and security become existential.
  • If something goes down, you take it personally, and you thrive in that level of responsibility.

Responsibilities

  • We partner with top AI labs and did $XXM last quarter alone, as a team of ~30 people.
  • We also raised our Series A from Tier 1 firms such as Matrix Partners https://matrix.vc/, Swift Ventures https://www.swift.vc/, Y Combinator https://www.ycombinator.com/, and AI Grant https://aigrant.com/.
  • You'll join early, own problems end-to-end, and watch your work ship directly into the models defining the frontier.
  • We're hiring our first engineer fully dedicated to Sieve's infrastructure foundation - a high-ownership role working directly with our CTO and founding engineers to build the core tooling that powers all of engineering.
  • You'll design and validate the infrastructure behind PB-scale workloads, own incident response, harden systems against failure, and build the monitoring, security, and CI/CD tooling the whole team relies on.
  • Experience building lightweight internal tooling (APIs, dashboards, Svelte)

Requirements

  • Familiarity with Argo, Helm, Kustomize, or similar deployment tools
  • Experience operating observability systems (Prometheus, OTel, VictoriaMetrics)

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with object storage systems ("buckets")
  • Active GitHub or portfolio projects
  • Experience on-call for Sev 0 / Sev 1 production incidents (L3 preferred)
  • Deep Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform preferred)

Benefits

  • 401k + Full Health Insurance

Company info

  • Sieve is a multi-modal lab curating the world's highest-quality training datasets - spanning video, audio, images, text, and 3D. We combine exabyte-scale data infrastructure and novel multimodal understanding techniques that push the frontier of foundation models. Video alone makes up 80% of internet traffic, and across modalities, data has become the enabling 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.
