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

• Frontier technology: Help protect the data that supports advances in AI, from generative media to robotics.




• Research and engineering: Work alongside teams building data collection systems, distributed infrastructure, and tools for AI research and customer delivery.




• Velocity and ownership: Shape the security roadmap, influence architecture, and carry improvements from design through production as our systems evolve.




• Strong team culture: Collaborate directly with a close-knit team focused on helping AI understand and interact with the world.

About the Role

As a Security Engineer at Sieve, you will serve as the technical and strategic owner of our security program. Your mission is to protect the data, infrastructure, and applications that help AI understand and interact with the world. Every control you build supports the trust of our contributors, partners, and customers.

Sieve builds training data for AI across video, audio, images, and robotics. Our work spans real-world data collection, large-scale processing, and customer delivery across cloud infrastructure, applications, and recording devices. You will secure this full lifecycle, including sensitive recordings, untrusted uploads, and access across customer and partner organizations.

This is a hands-on role with ownership of both strategy and implementation. We are looking for a security engineer with a builder's mindset who wants to set the standard for protecting the data behind frontier AI.

What You'll Do

• Secure systems at scale: Partner with product, infrastructure, and research teams to design, implement, and improve secure systems at scale.




• Detection and response: Build and operate detection and response capabilities.




• Incident command: Serve as incident commander for high-severity security incidents, coordinating investigation, containment, and remediation.




• Hands-on engineering: Write code, strengthen security foundations, and help engineering teams build and release software securely.
