Technical Market Development

ABOUT SIFT

We’re redefining how modern machines are built, tested, and operated. Our platform gives engineers real-time observability over high-frequency telemetry, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling faster, more reliable development.

Sift was born from our work at SpaceX on Dragon, Falcon, Starlink, and Starship—where scaling telemetry, debugging flight systems, and ensuring mission reliability demanded new infrastructure. Founded by a team from SpaceX, Google, and Palantir, SIFT is built for mission-critical systems where precision and scalability are non-negotiable.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you’ll operate on the front lines of customer engagement to identify the right accounts, engage technical buyers at events and online, and open high-value conversations that lead to pipeline.

This isn’t a high-volume outbound sales call role. It’s a more technical role about research, context, and credibility. You’ll be researching programs, tracking industry signals, attending events, and speaking directly with engineers who are building some of the world’s most complex machines, from autonomous defense platforms to next-gen spacecraft.

Success requires curiosity, technical fluency, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. You’ll work directly with engineers, operators, and program managers tackling problems that matter, where performance, safety, and clarity define the mission.

This role is well suited for someone with experience in high-stakes environments such as defense or aerospace programs, technical capture, strategic sourcing, or other customer-facing roles where discipline, initiative, and cross-functional leadership are essential.

What You’ll Do

- Own a portfolio of accounts and opportunities in which you’ll bring discipline and urgency to every step to drive awareness and ultimately engagement, from first touch to handoff to sales demo.

- Travel to events to represent SIFT in the field to engage directly with early-stage prospects. You’ll initiate...
