## **The Role**

As a Senior Software Engineer at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the projects and direction of the company.

Chariot is used by customers to develop, deploy, and maintain production ML models. We’re looking for engineers with a product mindset, who can write quality code in Go and Python, and who ultimately want to be core contributors to the direction of the company. You’re right for this challenge if you value and possess technical expertise and you push the boundaries of your own capabilities. You are outcome-driven, not requirements-driven. We’re looking for people who are excited about our core development themes:

- Everything as Code
- Cloud-neutral development
- Novel workflow orchestration
- Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture
- Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $175,000–$210,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, annual performance-based equity grants, and a lucrative yearly cash bonus.

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/on site at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

## **The Right Fit**

We spend a lot of time during our hiring process talking about shared values.

**Why?** We passionately believe that fostering an environment where people can self-actualize and pursue greatness is the best way to achieve our individual and collective goals.

**What does this mean for you?** We want to create an environment where you can thrive and achieve your goals, where you know the team shares your goals, and where you make and accept decisions for the team with humility. At Striveworks, we want your say/do ratio to be 1, and we want you to know that being part of a top-tier team means that there is no smartest person in the room. If that makes sense, we’re already on the same page.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

- 6–8 years of hands-on development experience
- Excellence in Go, C++ (17 or higher), Java (11 or higher), C# (9 or higher), or Rust
- Proficiency in Python
- Experience with DevOps tooling: CI/CD tools, Git, Docker, Kubernetes
- Proven experience with cloud architecture: commercial cloud, OpenStack
- Experience in the design and development of performant, scalable services
- Familiarity with database design and architecture: relational and non-relational
- Ability to work cross-functionally and participate in/lead design discussions
- Ability to independently lead the software development life cycle from gathering requirements to design, implementation, and deployment
- Experience in knowledge sharing, mentoring, or coaching (i.e., onboarding, code reviews, leading junior engineers)
- Strong understanding of software development principles, such as functional and object-oriented programming, design patterns and documentation, and agile methodologies
- Driven, self-directed personality
- Strong sense of mission and commitment to making a difference
- Eligibility to work in the US without sponsorship (e.g., permanent resident, US citizen)
- Eligibility to obtain a US security clearance
- Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field

## **The Wish List**

We’re very interested in developers who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate and consider the addition of:

- Understanding of synchronous/asynchronous programming, concurrency
- Comfort with deep learning library (TensorFlow, PyTorch) integration
- Experience designing RESTful or GraphQL APIs
- Understanding of JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular
- Understanding of networked and distributed computing (gRPC)
- Knowledge of messaging systems, e.g. NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar
- Experience building geospatial applications
- Experience with workflow automation
- Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance

## **The Benefits**

- Top-of-market salary and total compensation
- Generous equity plan
- Health/vision/dental insurance
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave

## **Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World**

AI is driving a new Industrial Revolution. But most AI tools only work when the world looks the same tomorrow as it did yesterday. That’s rarely the case.

Striveworks was formed to fix this problem. Our platform lets teams build AI models, deploy them into unpredictable environments, and watch them deliver trustworthy results—day after day. Our approach has transformed AI outcomes for organizations where failure is never an option. As a result, Striveworks was recognized as an exemplar in the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence Final Report.

In 2023, Striveworks placed on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 as one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America. In 2024, Striveworks was honored with a Built In Best Places to Work award—for the third year running.

Senior Software Engineer (Backend)

## **The Role**

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer (MLE) in Striveworks’ professional services division, you will be challenged—and trusted—on day one to take ownership of machine learning projects that impact a diverse set of Striveworks’ customers. You will be responsible for envisioning and bringing machine learning and advanced analytics solutions to Striveworks’ most strategic partners. You will be a key Striveworks representative and solutions provider to project sites and customers where Chariot, our proprietary machine learning operations (MLOps) platform, is deployed. You will lead and work alongside a team of engineers to transform machine learning models into functional, operationalized products.

**Day-to-Day Responsibilities:**

- Lead scoping, design, and execution of machine-learning projects for government clients; participate in requirements extraction.
- Guide the development of machine-learning models and custom analytics applied to image, video, text, geospatial, time-series, and tabular data.
- Develop group-level practice improvements and reusable code that accelerates time-to-value in future efforts.
- Orchestrate and automate complex data pipelines and analytics algorithms within modern architectures (cloud deployment, event-driven, microservices, etc.).
- Manage small execution teams’ work toward on-time completion of project deliverables.
- Conduct mission-critical fieldwork.

A Staff Machine Learning Engineer on the Striveworks Engagements Team is customer-facing and executes with the agency of exceptional technical creativity.

Striveworks

The world has looked to data analytics to bridge the gap between floods of data and the struggle to use that data effectively to make timely, impactful decisions. Today, most organizations are awash in analytics that “aren’t quite right”—models that were developed too generally, or too slowly, to be effective in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Striveworks is simplifying MLOps with a powerful, extensible, low barrier to entry platform that instantiates the data analytic process as high-level code.

Striveworks is trusted by leading Fortune 500 firms and leaders in the public sector to be their primary solution for managing model development, monitoring, and governance, and for ensuring that those models solve the real challenges their organizations face.

Striveworks’ Chariot platform enables users to turn their own production data into models and turn models into production systems. Uniquely, as you train, test, deploy, and use models, our lineage system enables you to track both the “upstream” provenance of model and data sources and also the “downstream” usage of the resultant model inferences. Combining this with a highly principled experience for data and model development, Chariot gives our customers in highly regulated industries an unmatched governance solution over the top of a performant MLOps platform.

We're #hiring individuals looking for #AIjobs and #MLjobs. If you are looking to work with cool tech stacks and languages like #GO, #kubernetes, etc and are generally interested in the world of data science, please take a look at our job openings: www.striveworks.com/careers
