What this job asks for AI summary
This is a full-stack product engineering role focused on building AI agents that help hardware engineers analyze telemetry data — detecting anomalies, generating dashboards, and running analysis that would otherwise require manual scripting. The work spans frontend chat interfaces, backend APIs, sandboxed code execution, context and memory management, evaluation pipelines, and production infrastructure. It suits engineers who want direct customer contact and end-to-end ownership of a shipped product area.

Why we read it this way (6)
The role is hybrid, not fully remote — candidates work in-person at Marina Del Rey (LA) on Mondays and Thursdays, with a full-week offsite every two months. Relocation to LA or working from the SF office is offered for the right candidate.
The requirements section uses 'technologies like React, NextJS, or similar' and 'Go, Python, Rust, or similar' — these are hard-gated capability requirements (frontend web apps, backend APIs/services) with named interchangeable options, not optional preferences.
All stack technologies (ECharts, PostgreSQL, Protobuf, Redux, TypeScript, Radix, Arrow, DataFusion, Flink, Parquet, Argo CD, AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Prometheus, Terragrunt, Linux, Kustomize) appear only in the 'Engineering At SIFT' stack narrative section, not in the requirements block.
LLM/agentic skills (LLMs, agentic systems, MCP, Kubernetes, sandboxed code execution) appear under 'Bonus Points' and are marked preferred accordingly.
The posting is ITAR/EAR-controlled and requires U.S. person status (citizen, LPR, asylee, or refugee), but does not require a formal US government security clearance.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the role requires 3+ years and full-stack ownership, but the title carries no level modifier and the scope is a single product area within an early-stage startup — consistent with a mid-level individual contributor.
