About sieve

Turn websites, PDFs, filings, and other unstructured sources into accurate, ready-to-use data with AI extraction and expert validation. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

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.

More about this role

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 .

About the Role

As our first Robotics Researcher at Sieve, you'll lead the training and evaluation of world-action models (WAMs) and 3D perception systems to understand how data shapes robot capabilities. Your work connects how we capture, curate, and label physical-world data to measurable gains in robot learning.

You'll run your projects from question to answer: spot where a model falls short, decide what data might close the gap, set up the...
