Role
Who you are
- To thrive here, you should be energized by this world and excited to build a brand that speaks to it
- 3+ years of experience as a designer
- 2+ years designing for technical B2B companies (startups or high-growth environments strongly preferred)
- Strong portfolio showcasing range across web, brand, marketing, and storytelling
- Ability to work autonomously and own projects end-to-end
- Comfort turning ambiguous concepts into concrete visual outputs
- Collaborative mindset and strong communication skills—you can explain your design rationale clearly
- Fluency in Figma; bonus points for motion, Webflow, or frontend familiarity
- Genuine curiosity and respect for technical audiences—engineers, operators, and decision-makers
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Visual Designer to shape how the world sees Sift
- This isn’t a support role—you’ll own the external visual identity across every touchpoint: website, campaigns, sales assets, product storytelling, and more
- You won’t be designing the product itself—you’ll be designing how it’s understood, crafting visuals that make our value resonate with deeply technical audiences in aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing
- It’s a rare opportunity to define and evolve the brand of a fast-growing startup
- You’ll set the standard for consistency and creative excellence, partnering closely with product marketing, sales, and leadership
- You’ll turn complexity into clarity—and ensure every visual we ship reflects the precision and quality of the platform
- You’ll also have agency support for larger projects but will be the principal driver of Sift’s brand
- Our customers build rockets, propulsion systems, satellite constellations, and autonomous vehicles
- Own the design of Sift’s external-facing materials: website graphics, landing pages, social posts, diagrams, visuals, decks, and more
- Translate complex product capabilities into clear, compelling visuals that resonate with engineers and decision-makers
- Build and maintain brand cohesion across every touchpoint—web, sales, campaigns, motion, and more
- Develop and evolve visual systems and templates that scale with the company
- Create visual explainers, conceptual diagrams, and product visuals that simplify technical ideas
- Partner with product and marketing to keep Sift’s visual language aligned with the product roadmap
- Set the quality bar and ensure every deliverable reflects Sift’s sophistication and precision
Application process
- Please include a link to your portfolio or design examples. Applications without visual work samples will not be reviewed
Our take
Sift develops tools to accelerate and ensure the reliability of complex machines. Its platform processes hardware sensor data, providing automated analysis and detailed reports to identify and explain potential issues. This enables users in aviation, defense, energy and transportation to enhance system reliability and comply with regulatory requirements more efficiently.
The platform automates manual data review, which both enhances reliability and speeds up development. Customers like Astranis and Parallel Systems use Sift's observability stack to turn sensor data into actionable insights, which would have likely remained undiscovered when using other systems.
With funding to its name, Sift is ready to broaden its manufacturing automation suite to link sensor data with manufacturing information. This will mean it can help with anomaly detection and performance analysis. It is also making advancements with AI integration for regulatory compliance, which sets it up as a key innovator in the space.
