About Sift
Sift's sellers carry one platform for hardware engineers: it pulls sensor data from prototype tests, production lines and live operations into one place, and it was started by former SpaceX engineers who built the same kind of tooling for Dragon and Starlink. Buyers are engineering and program leaders at space, aviation, defense, robotics, transportation and energy companies; the site names customers such as K2 Space, Parallel Systems and Astrolab and offers a GovCloud deployment for regulated programs, so deals run through procurement, legal and security review. The eight sales-titled openings are four roles, each posted once for the Marina del Rey office and once for San Francisco: an account executive and an enterprise account executive who take new logos from discovery through technical pilots to signature with solutions engineering, and a technical BDR and a technical market development rep who each work a book of named aerospace, defense and industrial accounts beside an AE. The pipeline seats require US-person status under ITAR and EAR, include travel to industry events and customer sites, and are pitched as the route to an AE seat. No customer success, partner or leadership seat is open, so the team being built splits evenly between closers and pipeline builders, all in California.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
