Lead the Edge Systems squad to develop high-performance data ingestion and client applications for hardware telemetry in extreme environments.
О компании
- Sift is the data infrastructure platform for hardware engineering teams. Sift turns high-frequency telemetry into engineering insights for mission-critical systems. Teams use Sift to build and operate rockets, satellites, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, defense platforms, and more.
- Founded by former SpaceX engineers who built the tools behind Dragon and Starlink, Sift is building the data infrastructure to herald the AI era for physical systems.
Обязанности
- We are looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to lead our Edge Systems squad. The squad builds Sift Edge, a high-performance server and feature-rich desktop client written from the ground up in Rust. Sift Edge captures full-fidelity data right at the hardware, ingests live sensor streams on a single local machine no matter how remote the site, writes every measurement to disk the moment it arrives, and serves live and historical views in a responsive desktop app. You will expand Sift Edge to support the most rigorous data ingestion and test scenarios in the most extreme environments. Future directions include supporting command and control (C2) capabilities. You will also own development of our open-source client libraries. Customers across aerospace, defense, energy, biomedical tech, transportation and construction rely on this work to test and operate their hardware.
- This role will report directly to the VP of Engineering and is ideal for someone who loves working on the cutting edge of science and technology.
- Leadership: Manage and build a team of high-performing engineers, provide mentorship and guidance to accelerate their growth.
- Strategy: Collaborate with our Product and Go-To-Market teams to define the technical roadmap for Sift Edge and our open-source client libraries.
- Execution: Ensure the team delivers best-in-class results at high velocity while meeting the performance and reliability bar that field testing in extreme environments demands.
- Process Excellence: Establish and refine engineering processes, agile rituals and use of AI to accelerate development and expand our core capabilities.
- Hands-on Contribution: Actively engage the architecture and codebase across the Sift Edge server, desktop client and client libraries, contribute to high-impact features and help resolve critical technical challenges.
Будет плюсом
- Experience in Aerospace, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, Defense or Energy.
- Experience with hardware test stands, data acquisition systems, or field test operations.
- Experience maintaining open-source projects or developer-facing client libraries.
- Experience in leading AI-first teams and AI initiatives.
