About Us
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.
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, Swift Ventures, Y Combinator, and AI Grant.
Why Now
Sieve is one of the most capital-efficient teams in AI - roughly 30 people serving the world's leading AI labs across every major data modality. You'll join early, own problems end-to-end, and watch your work ship directly into the models defining the frontier.
About the Role
As Product Operations Lead, you'll own the day-to-day execution and scaling of Sieve's data operations platform alongside vendor partnerships. This is a deeply operational and semi-technical role. You'll manage our human workforce, build and improve QA processes, handle people sourcing and onboarding, and drive product ops initiatives that make our platform more efficient. A major part of this role is growth: you'll run campaigns and experiments to expand the platform's user base, find new channels for sourcing, and drive adoption. This role is ideal for someone who is both a builder and an optimizer, someone who can get their hands dirty with tooling while also thinking strategically about how to scale a complex operational machine.

Operate and scale Sieve's internal data ops platform, including workforce management, task assignment, and QA workflows
Drive platform and partnerships growth: run acquisition campaigns, test new sourcing channels, and grow the user base through creative and scalable strategies
Source, onboard, and manage a distributed human workforce for data annotation, curation, and quality review
Build and improve QA processes to ensure data output meets the standards required by frontier AI labs
Own product ops for the data platform. Work with engineering to ship tooling improvements, track operational metrics, and identify gaps
Create documentation, SOPs, and training materials for operational workflows
Requirements
Mixed technical and non-technical skillset, comfortable with data tooling, light scripting, and spreadsheet-level analysis
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple concurrent work streams
Growth mindset: experience running or contributing to user acquisition, sourcing campaigns, or platform growth efforts
Bachelor's degree in CS, STEM, or equivalent practical experience
