Site Reliability Engineer

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Striveworks, you’ll have the opportunity to receive mentorship from experienced engineers, as well as bring your own experiences and training. Your ideas are welcome and invited on day one; there is no smartest person at Striveworks. You will be expected to wear multiple hats, step into vacuums where more work is needed, and will be given the breadth to explore new technologies. You will work side-by-side daily with software engineers, data scientists and end users of our products, learning from them so that functional decisions become second nature to you.

You’re right for this challenge if you value and possess technical expertise and you enjoy pushing the boundaries of your own capabilities. You will be responsible for building and maintaining Striveworks’ corporate infrastructure—both on-premise and in various cloud service providers—using Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies. You'll be working alongside a team of software engineers and data scientists helping them integrate their work into functional products. In addition to core infrastructure development and maintenance, you will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the company’s IT needs.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $125,000–$150,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, annual performance-based equity grants, and a lucrative yearly cash bonus.

This position offers an onsite 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 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.

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 ModelOps with a powerful and extensible platform that instantiates the data analytic process as code. 

Striveworks is trusted by leading Fortune 500 firms as well as leaders in the public sector as a primary solution for managing model development, monitoring, and governance—and ensuring 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 not only the “upstream” provenance of model and data sources, but also the “downstream” usage of the resultant model inferences. Combining this with a 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 ModelOps platform.
