Visual Designer, Marketing Job at Sift Stack, Inc. in El Segundo

About Sift At Sift, we’re accelerating the advent of next-generation machines, improving life on and off the planet. We’re at an inflection point where connected machines will shape nearly everything we do, and Sift is building the data infrastructure that underpins their engineering, manufacturing, and operation.

Our system is inspired by processes and software built at SpaceX for Dragon, Falcon, Starlink, and Starship. We’re a fast-growing startup with engineers and operators from SpaceX, Google, Palantir, and Astra, backed by the best investors in the sector. We’re looking for high-performing teammates to build the foundation of our go-to-market brand.

About the Role 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. To thrive here, you should be energized by this world and excited to build a brand that speaks to it.

Key Responsibilities 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

What You’ll Need to Succeed 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

Portfolio Required : Please include a link to your portfolio or design examples. Applications without visual work samples will not be reviewed.

Location : 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 team members to be local, we’re open to relocating candidates to LA or considering remote work from the San Francisco area for the right candidate.

Salary range : $130,000 - $170,000 per year. Plus equity and benefits.

Eligibility : Due to the nature of our work, U.S. Citizenship or Green Card status is required to meet ITAR / EAR compliance requirements.
