Senior Software Engineer

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
• Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture
• Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $160,000–$200,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary and annual performance-based equity grants and cash bonus.

This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

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 provide you with the conditions to thrive in an environment where you can 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 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 Dev Ops tooling: CI/CD tools, Git, Docker, Kubernetes
• Proven experience with cloud architecture: commercial cloud, Open Stack
• 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
• 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 U.S. persons (U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or Green Card holder)

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, Tensor Flow)
• Understanding of networked and distributed computing
• Knowledge of messaging systems (e.g., NATS, Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ)
• Experience with workflow automation

• 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

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…
