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.

What You'll Do

  • 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
  • In-person at our SF HQ

Nice to Have

  • Experience managing human-in-the-loop data operations or annotation pipelines
  • At least 1 year of engineering experience or strong technical fluency
  • Experience as an early hire at a startup or spearheading ops at an AI lab
  • Familiarity with data quality frameworks or ML data pipelines

Benefits

  • 401k + Full Health Insurance
  • Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner covered and your choice of snacks
  • Ubers covered home
