Machine data platform for complex systems monitoring and analysis
Sift ingests and analyzes machine telemetry at scale using a polyglot stack (Go, Java, Rust, Python) backed by streaming (Kafka, Redpanda, Flink) and time-series databases (Druid, Pinot, Timescale). The engineering-heavy org (20 engineers across 35 total hires) is actively building monitoring/alerting, secure CI/CD, and zero-trust infrastructure—suggesting both product maturation and internal security hardening. Pain points center on scaling telemetry ingest and bottleneck elimination, core challenges for real-time data platforms serving high-frequency sensor workloads.
Sift provides a unified platform for ingesting, storing, and visualizing machine data from complex systems in aerospace, defense, robotics, and autonomous domains. The product combines automated anomaly detection with high-performance visualization (WebGL, D3.js) to surface unusual conditions in systems too complex for manual review. Customers range from spacecraft operators to autonomous vehicle builders. The company operates from El Segundo, California with 51–200 employees, hiring across the US, Peru, and Canada. Active roadmap includes SOC 2 compliance work, reusable telemetry component libraries, and infrastructure automation.
Core: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker. Data: Kafka, Redpanda, Flink, Druid, Pinot, Timescale, PostgreSQL. Languages: Go, Java, Rust, Python, TypeScript. Visualization: React, Next.js, WebGL, D3.js, ECharts.
