Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Services

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.

Job description

Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World

Striveworks helps organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real-world national security and business challenges by serving as the command center between data, models, and business outcomes. Founded by data scientists and engineers, Striveworks set out to make the journey from deployment to ongoing optimization simple and effective.

With Striveworks, organizations aren’t just deploying AI—they’re building systems that remain reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in an unpredictable world. Mission-critical operations require models that perform where they’re deployed, scale as workloads grow, and adapt rapidly as AI capabilities advance. Striveworks meets these demands, increasing reliability and performance while lowering costs—and enabling confident, data-driven decision-making in dynamic environments.

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 products and direction of the company.

Our flagship product, Chariot, is used by customers to develop, deploy, and maintain production ML models. We’re looking for exemplary 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 central development themes:

  • Everything as Code 
  • Cloud-neutral development 
  • User-centric design
  • Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture 
  • Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms 

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

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust. 

Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what else 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 or lead design discussions
  • Ability to independently lead the software development life cycle, from collaborating with product teams on requirements to executing technical design, implementation, and deployment
  • Experience in knowledge sharing, mentoring, and coaching (i.e., onboarding, code reviews, leading junior engineers)
  • Strong understanding of software development principles, such as object-oriented programming, design patterns, documentation, and agile methodologies
  • Driven, self-directed personality
  • Strong sense of mission and commitment to making a difference
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field, or similar experience
  • Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be a US person (a US citizen, a US national, or a Green Card holder)

The Wish List

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

  • Understanding of synchronous/asynchronous programming and concurrency
  • Comfort with integration of deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)
  • Experience designing RESTful, gRPC, or GraphQL APIs
  • Understanding of networked and distributed computing
  • Knowledge of messaging systems (e.g., NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  • Experience with workflow automation

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $160,000 to $200,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses. 

The Benefits

  • Medical/dental/vision insurance
  • Voluntary life, long-term disability, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance
  • HSA and FSA (including dependent care FSA) plans 
  • 401(k) plan
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Paid parental leave
