Job Description

Sift Stack, Inc. is revolutionizing how modern machines are built, tested, and operated through their platform that provides engineers with real-time observability over high-frequency telemetry. Born from work at SpaceX on projects like Dragon, Falcon, Starlink, and Starship, Sift was founded by a team from SpaceX, Google, and Palantir. They're seeking a Frontend Software Engineer to join their mission-critical systems team.

The role offers an opportunity to work on complex technical challenges and build foundational systems. As an early engineer, you'll have significant influence over architecture, product direction, and company culture. The position requires expertise in frontend technologies like React, TypeScript, and modern CSS frameworks, with a focus on building high-performance data visualization interfaces and reusable component libraries.

The team collaborates in person twice weekly in El Segundo, CA, working closely with LA's leading hardware companies. They offer competitive compensation ($160,000-$200,000) plus equity and benefits. The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to ITAR/EAR compliance requirements.

The tech stack includes cutting-edge technologies across web development, data processing, and infrastructure. You'll work with React, TypeScript, WebAssembly, and various data visualization tools. The role combines technical depth with the opportunity to shape the future of machine development and testing.
