In This Role, You'll:
Design and optimize data pipelines that run entirely in the browser: Web Workers processing Apache Arrow binary data, persistent caching in the Origin Private File System, and multi-layer invalidation strategies that keep the UI responsive while handling datasets that would crash most web apps.
Build interactive visualizations for time-series telemetry, FFT frequency analysis, geographic mapping, and scatter plots, and many more, each with distinct performance profiles and correctness constraints. When your users are debugging flight hardware, a rendering inaccuracy is a mission-critical problem, not a cosmetic one.
Solve performance problems that frameworks can't: bypassing React's render cycle for 60fps interactions, coordinating worker thread pools, managing memory across large binary buffers, and making architectural decisions about what belongs on the main thread vs. off it.
Architect composable UI systems for technical users who need full data fidelity. Not simplified dashboards, but tools that expose the real complexity of hardware telemetry with zeptosecond level timestamp precision - Work across the stack boundary. Collaborate with backend engineers on API design, binary serialization formats, and query semantics for structured data endpoints.
The Skillset You'll Bring:
7+ years building software for the web, with meaningful experience pushing browsers beyond their comfort zone, whether that's performance optimization, binary data processing, GPU rendering, multi-threaded architectures, or something else that required understanding the platform deeply
Strong TypeScript skills and comfort working in a React codebase, but your value isn't in knowing React APIs. It's in knowing when React is the wrong tool for the job and what to reach for instead
Systems-level intuition: you think about memory layout, thread coordination, caching strategies, and data serialization formats, not just component hierarchies
Experience building for correctness under constraint. You've worked on software where bugs have real consequences, or you've built systems where data fidelity and performance couldn't be traded off against each other
Bonus Points:
Experience with GPU-accelerated rendering in the browser (WebGL, WebGPU, Canvas 2D optimizations) or technical visualization at scale (D3, ECharts, custom renderers)
Hands-on work with binary data formats (Arrow, Parquet, protobuf, FlatBuffers) or columnar data processing
Background in Web Workers, SharedArrayBuffer, OPFS, or other browser threading/storage APIs - Experience in domains where data correctness is non-negotiable: aerospace, scientific computing, medical devices, financial systems, or similar
Projects where you had to build infrastructure that didn't exist yet, like custom caching layers, data processing pipelines, rendering engines, or developer tools
Engineering At SIFT:
You'll have the opportunity to help evolve and scale our platform because we're still in the early stages of building the product. Relevant technologies include:
Web frontend & backend: React, TypeScript, Redux, Tailwind, WebAssembly, D3.js, WebGL, and Go

We turn high-frequency telemetry into engineering insights for mission-critical machines: rockets, satellites, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, and defense platforms. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, we are building the review and analysis layer for the AI era of physical systems.
Hardware programs generate far more telemetry than any team can review by hand. Sift Agents is our answer: AI agents that work alongside hardware engineers, investigating anomalies, reviewing test and flight data, and answering in minutes questions that used to take a day of scripting.
This role comes with real product ownership and autonomy. You will talk directly to customers to understand how they review their machines, decide what to build, and own it from first MVP through every iteration after it ships. The surface area is wide: one day you might be designing the tool interface an agent uses to query billions of telemetry points, the next you might be writing the Kubernetes scaling logic that orchestrates agent workloads. We’re heavy users of frontier agentic products ourselves and have strong opinions about what makes them great. Sift Agents is where we put those opinions to work.
This is a product engineering role, not a research role. Most of the work is the hard part of making agents dependable: tool design, context management, code execution environments, evaluation, and observability.
Talk directly to customers and partner with product to turn real review workflows into agent capabilities: generating dashboards, writing analysis scripts, and surfacing insights buried in their telemetry
Design, ship, and operate agentic systems that reason over large-scale time-series data and hardware domain context
Build everything around the model that makes agents dependable: tool interfaces, sandboxed execution for agent-generated code, context and memory management, custom compaction algorithms, opinionated skills, and guardrails
Build the distributed systems that let long-running agent work stream in real time, survive disconnects, and resume across restarts
Design job-based execution systems that schedule, scale, and tear down agent workloads on Kubernetes, both in the cloud and on-prem
Develop and maintain Sift’s MCP server, the tool surface that lets both our agents and our customers’ AI tools query telemetry directly
Design and implement the APIs that power our agentic capabilities
Build evaluation suites that measure whether agents actually help engineers, and instrument quality, latency, cost, and failure modes in production
Integrate and assess frontier models across providers
Have 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
Get excited about owning a product area: talking to customers, deciding what to build, and shipping it
Have built APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.) and complex backend services with technologies like Go, Python, Rust, or similar
Have a working knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals
Are curious about new AI products: you try new agents, models, and features as they ship, and have opinions about what makes them good
If this role excites you, apply even if you don’t check every box.
Shipped products to users at scale: large data volumes, significant active user counts, or deep technical complexity
Shipped LLM-powered features
Built agentic systems: multi-step tool use, planning loops, context management, and evals
Designed tool ecosystems for agents, including MCP
Worked with sandboxed or isolated execution of generated code
Operated services in production (Kubernetes, observability, incident response)
Worked with streaming or time-series data systems (Kafka, Flink, TimescaleDB)
A personal ecosystem of AI dev tooling: custom agents, skills, scripts, or workflows built to ship faster
A background in time-series data, scientific computing, or hardware test and telemetry
Built internal agentic tooling that accelerates an engineering org
You'll have the opportunity to help evolve and scale our platform because we're still in the early stages of building the product. Relevant technologies include:
Web frontend & backend: ECharts, Go, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Protobuf, Radix, React, Redux, and TypeScript
Data: Arrow, DataFusion, Flink, Parquet, and Rust
Infrastructure: Argo CD, AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Kubernetes, Kustomize, Linux, Prometheus, and Terragrunt
Sift’s headquarters is in Marina Del Rey, CA (Next to LAX). We collaborate in person twice a week—on Mondays and Thursdays—and come together for a full week every two months. We are open to relocating candidates to LA or working from our San Francisco office for the right candidate.

We turn high-frequency telemetry into engineering insights for mission-critical machines: rockets, satellites, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, and defense platforms. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, we are building the review and analysis layer for the AI era of physical systems.
Hardware programs generate far more telemetry than any team can review by hand. Sift Agents is our answer: AI agents that work alongside hardware engineers, investigating anomalies, reviewing test and flight data, and answering in minutes questions that used to take a day of scripting.
This role comes with real product ownership and autonomy. You will talk directly to customers to understand how they review their machines, decide what to build, and own it from first MVP through every iteration after it ships. The surface area is wide: one day you might be designing the tool interface an agent uses to query billions of telemetry points, the next you might be writing the Kubernetes scaling logic that orchestrates agent workloads. We’re heavy users of frontier agentic products ourselves and have strong opinions about what makes them great. Sift Agents is where we put those opinions to work.
This is a product engineering role, not a research role. Most of the work is the hard part of making agents dependable: tool design, context management, code execution environments, evaluation, and observability.
Talk directly to customers and partner with product to turn real review workflows into agent capabilities: generating dashboards, writing analysis scripts, and surfacing insights buried in their telemetry
Design, ship, and operate agentic systems that reason over large-scale time-series data and hardware domain context
Build everything around the model that makes agents dependable: tool interfaces, sandboxed execution for agent-generated code, context and memory management, custom compaction algorithms, opinionated skills, and guardrails
Build the distributed systems that let long-running agent work stream in real time, survive disconnects, and resume across restarts
Design job-based execution systems that schedule, scale, and tear down agent workloads on Kubernetes, both in the cloud and on-prem
Develop and maintain Sift’s MCP server, the tool surface that lets both our agents and our customers’ AI tools query telemetry directly
Design and implement the APIs that power our agentic capabilities
Build evaluation suites that measure whether agents actually help engineers, and instrument quality, latency, cost, and failure modes in production
Integrate and assess frontier models across providers
Have 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
Get excited about owning a product area: talking to customers, deciding what to build, and shipping it
Have built APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.) and complex backend services with technologies like Go, Python, Rust, or similar
Have a working knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals
Are curious about new AI products: you try new agents, models, and features as they ship, and have opinions about what makes them good
If this role excites you, apply even if you don’t check every box.
Shipped products to users at scale: large data volumes, significant active user counts, or deep technical complexity
Shipped LLM-powered features
Built agentic systems: multi-step tool use, planning loops, context management, and evals
Designed tool ecosystems for agents, including MCP
Worked with sandboxed or isolated execution of generated code
Operated services in production (Kubernetes, observability, incident response)
Worked with streaming or time-series data systems (Kafka, Flink, TimescaleDB)
A personal ecosystem of AI dev tooling: custom agents, skills, scripts, or workflows built to ship faster
A background in time-series data, scientific computing, or hardware test and telemetry
Built internal agentic tooling that accelerates an engineering org
You'll have the opportunity to help evolve and scale our platform because we're still in the early stages of building the product. Relevant technologies include:
Web frontend & backend: ECharts, Go, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Protobuf, Radix, React, Redux, and TypeScript
Data: Arrow, DataFusion, Flink, Parquet, and Rust
Infrastructure: Argo CD, AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Kubernetes, Kustomize, Linux, Prometheus, and Terragrunt
Sift’s headquarters is in Marina Del Rey, CA (Next to LAX). We collaborate in person twice a week—on Mondays and Thursdays—and come together for a full week every two months. We are open to relocating candidates to LA or working from our San Francisco office for the right candidate.

We turn high-frequency telemetry into engineering insights for mission-critical machines: rockets, satellites, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, and defense platforms.

About The Role:
Hardware programs generate far more telemetry than any team can review by hand. Sift Agents is our answer: AI agents that work alongside hardware engineers, investigating anomalies, reviewing test and flight data, and answering in minutes questions that used to take a day of scripting.
This role comes with real product ownership and autonomy. You will talk directly to customers to understand how they review their machines, decide what to build, and own it from first MVP through every iteration after it ships. The surface area is wide: one day you might be polishing the micro-interactions that make the chat experience feel great, the next you might be building a bespoke caching layer for the chat messages off the main JS thread. We’re heavy users of frontier agentic products ourselves and have strong opinions about what makes them great. Sift Agents is where we put those opinions to work.
This is a product engineering role, not a research role. Most of the work is the hard part of making agents feel dependable in the browser: streaming interactions, long-running tasks, rendering agent output over large real-time datasets, and showing engineers exactly what an agent did and why.
In This Role, You'll:
Talk directly to customers and partner with product to turn real review workflows into agent capabilities: generating dashboards, writing analysis scripts, and surfacing insights buried in their telemetry
Build the frontend surfaces where Sift Agents live, and make them feel great
Design the interaction patterns of agentic UX: streaming responses, long-running tasks, interruptions, and showing an agent’s work so engineers can trust it
Render an agent’s findings alongside the telemetry that backs them, and keep it fast even when the data is large
Push the browser to its limits when the data demands it: Web Workers, OPFS-backed caching, and stepping outside React when the framework becomes the bottleneck
Contribute to the component library to keep agentic UI patterns consistent across the product
Collaborate with backend and full stack engineers on the API design that powers agent sessions
The Skillset You'll Bring:
3+ years of professional software engineering experience
Get excited about owning a product area: talking to customers, deciding what to build, and shipping it
Have built complex, high-performance web applications with technologies like React, NextJS, TypeScript, or similar
Have an eye for detail: you notice the micro-interactions, latency, drops in FPS, and polish that separate good interfaces from exceptional ones
Are curious about new AI products: you try new agents, models, and features as they ship, and have opinions about what makes them good
If this role excites you, apply even if you don’t check every box.
Bonus Points:
Shipped products to users at scale: large data volumes, significant active user counts, or deep technical complexity
Shipped LLM-powered features
Built chat or agentic interfaces: streaming responses, tool-call rendering, long-running tasks

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT SIFT\n\nSift is the data infrastructure platform for hardware engineering teams. We turn high-frequency telemetry into engineering insights for mission-critical machines: rockets, satellites, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, and defense platforms. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, we are building the review and analysis layer for the AI era of physical systems.\n\n\nAbout The Role:\n\nHardware programs generate far more telemetry than any team can review by hand. Sift Agents is our answer: AI agents that work alongside hardware engineers, investigating anomalies, reviewing test and flight data, and answering in minutes questions that used to take a day of scripting.\n\nThis role comes with real product ownership and autonomy. You will talk directly to customers to understand how they review their machines, decide what to build, and own it from first MVP through every iteration after it ships. The surface area is wide: one day you might be polishing the micro-interactions that make the chat experience feel great, the next you might be building a bespoke caching layer for the chat messages off the main JS thread. We’re heavy users of frontier agentic products ourselves and have strong opinions about what makes them great. Sift Agents is where we put those opinions to work.\n\nThis is a product engineering role, not a research role. Most of the work is the hard part of making agents feel dependable in the browser: streaming interactions, long-running tasks, rendering agent output over large real-time datasets, and showing engineers exactly what an agent did and why.\n\n\n\nIn This Role, You'll:\n\n - Talk directly to customers and partner with product to turn real review workflows into agent capabilities: generating dashboards, writing analysis scripts, and surfacing insights buried in their telemetry\n\n - Build the frontend surfaces where Sift Agents live, and make them feel great\n\n - Design the interaction patterns of agentic UX: streaming responses, long-running tasks, interruptions, and showing an agent’s work so engineers can trust it\n\n - Render an agent’s findings alongside the telemetry that backs them, and keep it fast even when the data is large\n\n - Push the browser to its limits when the data demands it: Web Workers, OPFS-backed caching, and stepping outside React when the framework becomes the bottleneck\n\n - Contribute to the component library to keep agentic UI patterns consistent across the product\n\n - Collaborate with backend and full stack engineers on the API design that powers agent sessions\n \n \n\nThe Skillset You'll Bring:\n\n - 3+ years of professional software engineering experience\n\n - Get excited about owning a product area: talking to customers, deciding what to build, and shipping it\n\n - Have built complex, high-performance web applications with technologies like React, NextJS, TypeScript, or similar\n\n - Have an eye for detail: you notice the micro-interactions, latency, drops in FPS, and polish that separate good interfaces from exceptional ones\n\n - Are curious about new AI products: you try new agents, models, and features as they ship, and have opinions about what makes them good\n\nIf this role excites you, apply even if you don’t check every box.\n\n\n\nBonus Points:\n\n - Shipped products to users at scale: large data volumes, significant active user counts, or deep technical complexity\n\n - Shipped LLM-powered features\n\n - Built chat or agentic interfaces: streaming responses, tool-call rendering, long-running tasks\n\n - A strong understanding of web performance optimization and browser rendering\n\n - Worked with modern CSS (Tailwind) and component libraries (Radix UI) to build design systems\n\n - Used technical visualization tools (WebGL, D3.js, Apache ECharts), WebAssembly, and time-series data\n\n - Built tools for technical users (dashboards, data-editing environments)\n\n - A personal ecosystem of AI dev tooling: custom agents, skills, scripts, or workflows built to ship faster\n\n - A background in scientific computing or hardware test and telemetry\n \n \n\nEngineering At SIFT:\n\nYou'll have the opportunity to help evolve and scale our platform because we're still in the early stages of building the product.

Hardware programs generate far more telemetry than any team can review by hand. Sift Agents is our answer: AI agents that work alongside hardware engineers, investigating anomalies, reviewing test and flight data, and answering in minutes questions that used to take a day of scripting.
This role comes with real product ownership and autonomy. You will talk directly to customers to understand how they review their machines, decide what to build, and own it from first MVP through every iteration after it ships. The surface area is wide: one day you might be polishing the micro-interactions that make the chat experience feel great, the next you might be building a bespoke caching layer for the chat messages off the main JS thread. We’re heavy users of frontier agentic products ourselves and have strong opinions about what makes them great. Sift Agents is where we put those opinions to work.
This is a product engineering role, not a research role. Most of the work is the hard part of making agents feel dependable in the browser: streaming interactions, long-running tasks, rendering agent output over large real-time datasets, and showing engineers exactly what an agent did and why.
In This Role, You'll:
Talk directly to customers and partner with product to turn real review workflows into agent capabilities: generating dashboards, writing analysis scripts, and surfacing insights buried in their telemetry
Build the frontend surfaces where Sift Agents live, and make them feel great
Design the interaction patterns of agentic UX: streaming responses, long-running tasks, interruptions, and showing an agent’s work so engineers can trust it
Render an agent’s findings alongside the telemetry that backs them, and keep it fast even when the data is large
Push the browser to its limits when the data demands it: Web Workers, OPFS-backed caching, and stepping outside React when the framework becomes the bottleneck
Contribute to the component library to keep agentic UI patterns consistent across the product
Collaborate with backend and full stack engineers on the API design that powers agent sessions
The Skillset You'll Bring:
8+ years of professional software engineering experience
Get excited about owning a product area: talking to customers, deciding what to build, and shipping it
Have built complex, high-performance web applications with technologies like React, NextJS, TypeScript, or similar
Have an eye for detail: you notice the micro-interactions, latency, drops in FPS, and polish that separate good interfaces from exceptional ones
Are curious about new AI products: you try new agents, models, and features as they ship, and have opinions about what makes them good
If this role excites you, apply even if you don’t check every box.
Bonus Points:
Shipped products to users at scale: large data volumes, significant active user counts, or deep technical complexity
Shipped LLM-powered features
Built chat or agentic interfaces: streaming responses, tool-call rendering, long-running tasks
A strong understanding of web performance optimization and browser rendering
Worked with modern CSS (Tailwind) and component libraries (Radix UI) to build design systems
Used technical visualization tools (WebGL, D3.js, Apache ECharts), WebAssembly, and time-series data
Built tools for technical users (dashboards, data-editing environments)
A personal ecosystem of AI dev tooling: custom agents, skills, scripts, or workflows built to ship faster
A background in scientific computing or hardware test and telemetry
Engineering At SIFT:
You'll have the opportunity to help evolve and scale our platform because we're still in the early stages of building the product. Relevant technologies include:
Web frontend & backend: React, TypeScript, Redux, Tailwind, WebAssembly, D3.js, WebGL, and Go
Data: Parquet, Flink, Kafka, Redpanda, Beam, DuckDB, Timescale, QuestDB, InfluxDB, and Druid
Infrastructure: GitHub Actions, AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
Location:
Sift’s headquarters is in Marina Del Rey, CA (Next to LAX). We collaborate in person twice a week—on Mondays and Thursdays—and come together for a full week every two months. We are open to relocating candidates to LA or working from our San Francisco office for the right candidate.
Salary range: $180,000 - $230,000 per year. Plus equity and benefits.
Eligibility:
U.S. Person Required: Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual such as an asylee or refugee in compliance with ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) / EAR (Export Administration Regulations) regulations.
