Sift operates a large-scale fraud detection platform running on GCP and AWS with Kafka, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Apache Spark at its core—a heavy data and ML infrastructure suited to processing over one trillion annual events. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (9 open roles, mostly senior-level), paired with infrastructure work on multi-region deployments, immutable infrastructure, and fault-tolerant systems; pain points around platform scalability and outage recovery align with the operational complexity of that scale.
Sift is a fraud prevention and digital trust platform serving 700+ global brands, founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco. The product helps customers detect and prevent fraud across digital transactions while maintaining customer experience quality. The company operates on a global data network processing over one trillion annual events annually. Engineering and product teams are distributed across the United States, Ukraine, and Poland, with sales and marketing supporting customer acquisition and retention in mid-market and enterprise segments.
Sift's platform is built on GCP and AWS with Kafka for streaming, Snowflake and BigQuery for analytics, Apache Spark for data processing, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Java/Python/Scala for services. Frontend uses React.
Active projects include multi-region deployments (Bigtable clusters), automated deployment monitoring via Slack integration, immutable and fault-tolerant infrastructure design, platform scalability improvements, and shared services maintenance—reflecting focus on operational maturity and high availability.
