Sift
Overview
Join to apply for the
Developer Relations
role at
Sift . Sift is hiring a technical communicator and relationship-builder to help us go to market more effectively at a critical moment in our growth. Our platform provides engineers real-time observability over high-frequency telemetry, enabling faster, more reliable development. Sift was born from work at SpaceX on Dragon, Falcon, Starship, and Starlink, and is built for mission-critical systems where precision and scalability are non-negotiable. As adoption grows, we need someone who can engage directly with engineers in the field, build trust with technical communities, and bring insights back to our go-to-market and product teams. The role blends developer advocacy, technical content, and community engagement with influence and requires comfort moving between writing technical content, participating in online discussions, and briefing the product team on new field use cases. You’ll be a key partner to sales, growth, and product, personifying our brand in the market in authentic ways.
Key Responsibilities
Build Community Relationships: Engage with aerospace, defense, and robotics engineers in online communities, social media, industry events, and invite-only forums. Represent Sift credibly and form long-term, trust-based connections with technical users and influencers. Create Technical Content: Build, manage, and lead educational webinars and product workshops based on core use cases; support GTM content creation and maintain a steady cadence of credible, reusable content. Support Sales: Collaborate with GTM and AE teams to create field-ready technical assets and objection handling for mission-critical programs. Feed Product & GTM with Field Insight: Surface insights from community conversations and report feedback, concerns, emerging needs, or competitive dynamics back into product, growth, and sales strategy. Drive Product Launch Execution: Support the rollout of new features by creating developer-facing content for social media and online communities.
Skillset You Bring
Technical Background: You’ve worked as an engineer, developer, or solutions architect and have demonstrated influence in the market. You’re comfortable in technical conversations and understand what matters to teams testing and operating complex systems. Credible Content Execution: You’ve published blogs, demos, documentation, or technical explainers that engineers read and use. You write clearly, avoid fluff, and convey how tools actually work. Community Presence & Empathy: You engage publicly in online technical communities, add value in conversations, and promote yourself and Sift in authentic ways. Engineers should want to hear from you because you listen and share useful insights. Audience Fluency: You understand how aerospace and defense engineers evaluate tools, how they adopt infrastructure, and what earns their attention in a crowded field. You can translate this back to GTM teams to develop assets and support sales. Mission Orientation: You care about building infrastructure for systems that can’t fail and understand the stakes, complexity, and importance of getting this right.
Location & Schedule
Sift’s headquarters is in
El Segundo, CA . We collaborate in person twice a week—on
Mondays and Thursdays —and come together for a full week every two months. While we prefer local team members, we’re open to relocating candidates to LA or considering remote work from the San Francisco area for the right candidate.

$170,000 - $220,000
per year. Plus equity and benefits.
