Dryft builds intelligent systems that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations

We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world - cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM, TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and builders of everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.

We’re backed by the founders and leaders behind Amazon, Facebook, Stripe, Applied Intuition, & others; General Catalyst & Neo, and board members of global industrial companies.

Today, we’re already saving customers millions. But this is only the beginning. ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is powering the next.

THE ROLE

As Founding Design Engineer, you’ll work directly with our CEO, CTO, and customers to build magical user interfaces for our AI Agents. Your mission is to make the complex intuitive, transforming dense industrial data and decision logic into transparent, high-trust experiences that empower users to act with confidence and speed.

YOU
  • Are an engineer turned designer, or vice versa, or always have been the one on the team understanding the value of easy-to-use interfaces.

  • Shipped production features end-to-end. While stronger in FE, you can handle BE too.

  • Have a strong product sense and enjoy working directly with customers

  • You obsess over design, pay attention to details and are always the first to explore best-in-class products

  • Are ready to work onsite in SF (we support relocation & visa)

TECH STACK
  • FE (TypeScript): React, Chakra UI v3, TanStack Router, TanStack Query, Vite

  • BE (Python): FastAPI with Pydantic v2, SQLModel, PostgreSQL with pgvector, dagster

  • AI: Pydantic AI, Langfuse
