Office Operations

Company Intro At Sift, we're redefining how modern machines are built, tested, and operated. Our platform gives engineers real-time observability over high-frequency telemetry, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling faster, more reliable development. Sift was born from our work at SpaceX on Dragon, Falcon, Starlink, and Starship—where scaling telemetry, debugging flight systems, and ensuring mission reliability demanded new infrastructure. Founded by a team from SpaceX, Google, and Palantir, Sift is built for mission-critical systems where precision and scalability are non-negotiable. Description In this role, you'll be the connective tissue that keeps our offices running smoothly and feeling great. From the moment a visitor walks through the door to the moment an employee grabs a snack before a late night, you'll be responsible for the environment that makes great work possible. This is a hands-on, ownership role for someone early in their career who thrives on variety, takes pride in the details, and wants to be part of something bigger. No two days will look the same. You might be coordinating a swag shipment in the morning, onboarding a new hire's building access at lunch, and ordering catered snacks and smoothies before a team event in the afternoon. If you're someone who notices what needs to be done before anyone asks, you'll fit right in. What You'll Do • Keep our offices running: Perform day-to-day operational tasks to maintain clean, functional, and well-organized facilities across our San Francisco and Los Angeles offices. • Own building access: Issue, manage, and audit employee and visitor access credentials. Serve as the point of contact for access-related questions and troubleshoot issues as they arise. • Manage swag: Source, organize, inventory, and fulfill swag orders for employees, customers, and events. Coordinate with vendors and ensure quality and on-time delivery. • Stock and maintain the kitchen: Keep kitchens stocked with snacks, beverages, and supplies. Monitor inventory, place orders, and ensure spaces stay clean and welcoming throughout the day. • Create a great first impression: Maintain a polished, organized lobby and common areas. Greet visitors and ensure they feel welcomed and taken care of from arrival to departure. • Support office initiatives: Assist with office events, team lunches, vendor coordination, and other operational projects as needed. • Identify and solve problems: Notice what's not working and fix it, or flag it to the right person. Bring a proactive mindset to everything from facilities maintenance to supply management. The Skillset You'll Bring • Strong organizational skills and an eye for detail. You catch things before they become problems. • A positive, service-oriented attitude with a genuine interest in making the workplace better for everyone around you. • Ability to manage multiple tasks and shifting priorities without dropping the ball. • Clear, professional communication skills, written and verbal. • Comfort working independently and taking ownership without needing constant direction. • 0–3 years of experience in an office coordination, facilities, hospitality, or operations role. Recent graduates and career starters are encouraged to apply. • Availability to be on-site full-time at either our San Francisco or Los Angeles office.
