Physical AI runs on data that captures how the real world looks, moves, and fits together in 3D. As a perception-focused Machine Learning Engineer at Sieve, you'll build the systems that turn raw egocentric, robot, and sensor footage into the training data that robotics and world-model teams depend on.
You'll bring the computer vision instincts of someone who has shipped perception for robots, devices, or autonomous vehicles, and apply them to datasets at a scale few teams ever touch. One week you might recover camera pose and scene geometry across thousands of hours of first-person video. The next, you might build a hand and object tracking pipeline, or design a benchmark that tells a lab whether their data actually improves manipulation policies.
All roles at Sieve require you to be onsite in San Francisco 5 days per week.
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, with 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.
