Sieve is a multimodal lab curating the world's highest-quality training datasets, spanning video, audio, images, text, and 3D. We combine exabyte-scale data infrastructure with novel multimodal understanding techniques to push the frontier of foundation models. We exist to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI: high-quality training data.
We partner with top AI labs and did $XXM last quarter alone, with a team of roughly 40 people. We raised our Series A from firms including Matrix Partners, Swift Ventures, Y Combinator, and AI Grant.
Why NowWe're standing up data operations internationally - recording footage, hiring people on the ground, and building the local capacity those programs need. That work won't scale from SF alone. We need someone who's done on-the-ground ops and can expand teams internationally without waiting for a perfect playbook.
About the Role:
We're hiring an International Field Operations Lead to help build and expand Sieve's on-the-ground operations abroad. You'll help set up local collection (including recording footage), hire and manage people in-market, and turn early international efforts into reliable operating systems.
This is a hands-on ops role for someone with direct field experience - not a remote-only coordinator. You'll travel when needed, solve problems in the moment, and build the teams and processes that make international data collection repeatable.
What You'll Do: Stand up international ops:
- Help launch and expand on-the-ground operations in priority markets, including footage recording and related collection workflows.
- Hire and grow local teams:
- Source, hire, onboard, and manage people in-market; build the staffing model as volume grows.
- Own day-to-day field execution:
- Solve logistics, quality, scheduling, and vendor/partner issues so collection stays on track.
- Build repeatable playbooks:
- Turn one-off market launches into documented processes for hiring, training, quality control, and escalation.
- Partner with SF product and ops:
- Translate project requirements into field plans; feed back what's working and what breaks in-market.
- Scale carefully:
- Balance speed with quality, compliance, and contributor/operator experience as we expand.
What Success Looks Like:
- Live international ops that reliably deliver footage and other required data
- Local teams hired, trained, and producing without constant firefighting from SFClear playbooks for launching and expanding into new markets
- Improving quality, throughput, and time-to-launch across sites
- Strong coordination between field teams and SF stakeholders
Requirements:
- Direct on-the-ground operations experience, ideally expanding teams internationally
- Track record hiring and managing people in the field (contractors, vendors, or full-time)
- Comfort with ambiguity, travel, and building systems where none exist yet
- Strong operator instincts: logistics, quality, people management, and follow-through
- Clear communicator across time zones and cultures
- Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate; able to travel internationally as needed
Nice to Have:
- Experience in data collection, media production, field research, marketplace ops, or logistics in emerging markets
- Prior work standing up ops in multiple countries
- Familiarity with physical AI, robotics, or AI training data workflows
- Language skills relevant to priority markets
Benefits:
- 401(k) and full health insurance
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered, plus your choice of snacks
- Ubers covered home*All roles at Sieve require you to be onsite in San Francisco 5 days per week
