Software Engineer - Site Reliability

As a Software Engineer on the Striveworks Engagements team you’ll be challenged—and trusted—from day one to deploy and maintain our proprietary data platform to critical sites and customers. You will be a key Striveworks representative and solutions provider to our customers.

You will use your expertise to deploy the Striveworks platform to cloud-based and on-premises environments, and to resolve any associated infrastructure, networking, and access control challenges that arise. You will be expected to wear multiple hats and you will be given the breadth to explore new technologies that can improve our results.

You’re right for this challenge if you value and possess technical expertise, and you enjoy pushing the boundaries of your own capabilities. You are outcomes-driven, not requirements-driven. You understand that in customer-facing roles, technical, communication, and time management skills are essential. You’ll be hands-on-keyboard, working alongside a team of data scientists and software engineers to transform software into functional solutions.

Potential projects include:

• Automation and building infrastructure-as-code for standing up virtual machines and custom Kubernetes clusters in AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises, or hybrid cloud environments
• Triaging issues reported by platform users
• Working with platform developers to define requirements and build solutions for customer use cases of the platform
• Deployment to unclassified, CUI, Secret, and Top Secret networks
• Diagnosis and automation of site-specific infrastructure requirements
• Opportunity to conduct mission-critical field work

This position requires daily onsite engagement at our customer site in Arlington, Virginia.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $170,000–$210,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, annual performance-based equity grants, and a lucrative yearly cash bonus.

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. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 4+ years total experience as a Site Reliability Engineer, Software Engineer, or DevOps Engineer
• 2+ years relevant experience in:
• Programming in Python and Golang
• Developing for and/or deploying microservices in Kubernetes
• Writing and deploying Helm Charts
• Deploying a web-based application to a DoD/IC air-gapped network
• Automation and infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible)
• Deploying infrastructure in a cloud such as AWS, Azure, GCP, or OpenStack
• Active Top Secret security clearance
• Able and willing to travel up to 10%

We’re very interested in candidates who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate experience with:

• Deploying, maintaining, or contributing to CNCF projects
• Deploying, managing, and/or supporting enterprise information systems in a DoD environment
• U.S. federal information system security policies, including Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, CMMC, ICD 503
• DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, or automated security scanning
• Administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers
• Storage technologies, NAS/SAN tools
• Directly leading engineering initiatives and/or teams
• Experience deploying infrastructure to AWS C2S, or similar
• Service mesh
• Blue-green and Canary deployments
• Multi-cloud 

• Top-of-market salary and total compensation
• Generous equity plan
• Health/vision/dental insurance
• Flexible PTO
• Childcare leave

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.
