Senior Software Engineer, Frontend (Agentic AI)

About Sift Stack, Inc. Sift is transforming how modern machines are built and operated. Our platform goes beyond traditional monitoring, enabling automated data review that catches unusual conditions in systems too complex for manual checks. This not only enhances reliability but also dramatically speeds up development cycles. At our core, we provide a unified solution for ingesting, storing, and analyzing vast amounts of machine data. By combining powerful data processing with easy-to-use visualizations, we help engineers make sense of enormous amounts of information. From spacecraft to self-driving cars, Sift is the backbone of innovation for companies pushing technology to new limits. Born from the challenges of spaceflight, Sift aims to accelerate technological progress. We believe that by giving engineers better tools to understand and improve their creations, we can unlock a new era of innovation. Our mission goes beyond solving today's engineering problems; we're building the foundation for a future where the most ambitious machines are developed with confidence, run with precision, and constantly improved. We're also tackling related challenges like simplifying regulatory compliance, and improving manufacturing processes. By connecting data from various sources—from sensors to manufacturing records to regulatory requirements—we're empowering a new generation of engineers to build the technologies that will shape our world. Join us in our journey to usher in this new age of reliable, groundbreaking technology. Whether you're launching rockets, developing autonomous systems, or advancing energy and transportation, Sift is your partner in turning vast amounts of data into insights that drive innovation forward.

• 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
• 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.

Preferred

• 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
• 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
