The Role

As a DevOps Engineer at Striveworks, you will be leading the charge on ensuring the robustness, reliability, efficiency, and automation of our development and operational environments as well as the design, engineering, and development operations for our products. You will be responsible for refining our software development/delivery process. You will have the opportunity to work with new, cloud-native technologies, and have the autonomy to select or engineer solutions to address the unique challenges posed by artificial intelligence data systems at both large and small scale.  In addition to standard site reliability engineering tasks—such as building software for monitoring and alerting, DevOps, and infrastructure automation—you will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and deployment of our MLOps platform.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $125,000-$145,000 per 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 hybrid/onsite environment at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

The Right Fit

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.

Striveworks: Better Models, Faster

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 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 for 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. Chariot uniquely supports data lineage; 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 on top of a performant MLOps platform.
