The role regularly turns AI agent behavior into dependable browser interactions.## Full description

About Sift Sift 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.

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  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,…
