Sift is hiring : UI / UX Designer, Design Language 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.

About The Role

We’re hiring a UI / UX Designer to create and own Sift’s visual design language — shaping how engineers interact with our platform.

This is not a surface-level branding role. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, marketing, and leadership to design intuitive, scalable systems that let users stay in flow while tackling complex technical problems. You’ll build a design system that reflects the sophistication of Sift and scales across every product surface.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain Sift’s design system, including reusable components and patterns.
• Translate complex architectures and telemetry workflows into clear, intuitive visuals.
• Visualize large-scale, high-frequency data in ways that are both beautiful and informative.
• Partner with marketing, product, engineering, and customers to ensure design resonates with technical users.
• Create reusable templates, frameworks, and patterns to increase speed and consistency.
• Ensure every design reflects the precision and quality of Sift’s platform.
• Act as a visual translator, bridging technical complexity with design clarity.
