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.\nWe 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, Swift Ventures, Y Combinator, and AI Grant.\nWhy Now\nBuilding the next generation of AI requires capturing data from the real world. We're expanding our hardware deployments across countries and need engineers who can get on the ground, figure things out, and make new sites work. You'll join early, own problems end-to-end, and help build the technical foundation for our international operations.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Deployment Engineer at Sieve, you'll travel globally to launch and scale our hardware and data collection operations. You'll own the technical work of getting each site running, from setting up camera rigs and local infrastructure to making sure data is captured correctly and reliably uploaded.\nThis role is based in San Francisco and requires spending 75%-85% of your time traveling globally, working on-site across different countries.\nThis is a hands-on software engineering role with significant time in the field. You might spend one day debugging an upload pipeline, the next setting up hardware at a new site, and the next training a local engineer. You'll work closely with site partners, our engineering team, and local operators to solve problems quickly and keep deployments running smoothly.\nAs we enter new countries, you'll help build the local technical team: identifying and interviewing candidates, onboarding engineers, and giving them the tools and training to run deployments independently. You'll turn what you learn in the field into better software, deployment tools, and repeatable processes that make each launch faster. You may also pitch in on local operations when needed to get a site up and running.\nRequirements\nStrong computer science fundamentals, through a CS degree or equivalent practical experience\n\nA scrappy software engineer who can write code, debug unfamiliar systems, and ship practical solutions quickly\n\nIdeally a couple of years of software engineering experience, with evidence of building and shipping things independently. Exceptional recent graduates are welcome\n\nComfortable working across software, hardware, networking, and data uploads. You don't need to know every layer already, but you need to learn quickly and work through unfamiliar problems\n\nStrong people skills. You can build trust with site partners, explain technical issues clearly, and train people with different levels of technical experience\n\nAble to take an ambiguous goal, figure out what needs to happen, and follow through without a detailed playbook\n\nAn exceptionally fast pace of execution, with the judgment to verify that a deployment works reliably before moving on\n\nBased in San Francisco and excited to spend 75%-85% of your time traveling globally to launch and support deployments\n\nBonus: Experience with cameras, embedded systems, Linux, networking, or large data transfers\n\nBonus: Experience hiring, onboarding, or leading a small technical team\n\nBonus: Experience launching projects internationally or working at an early-stage startup\n\nBonus: Can speak multiple languages\n\nBenefits\n401k + Full Health Insurance\n\nBreakfast, Lunch, and Dinner covered and your choice of snacks\n\nUbers covered home","description_format":"text","description_chars":3860,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Photo & Video Editing Software","Generative Video"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T03:15:28Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":177500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-10T11:34:35+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:33:50Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sieve-deployment-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sieve-deployment-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T05:33:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7359,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":720258},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=720258"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsieve-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsieve-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsieve-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sieve-deployment-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsieve-deployment-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4053517}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sieve.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4053517},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
