Full Job Description
What you'd build

Since 2018, we have delivered the most trusted AI systems operating in real-world use cases-providing a layer of assurance underneath hundreds of deployed models that monitors performance, manages drift, and sustains systems long after they leave the lab.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are where the platform meets the mission. Our systems stay online and reliable in the field because of what you build, automate, and maintain. Working across teams, you'll define what needs to be built, deploy it, and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. When there's a problem without an owner, you take it. New technologies are yours to explore, and the engineers behind you will learn from watching you work.
What we're looking for

6+ years of direct, hands-on experience in:
  • Microservice deployment in Kubernetes
  • Diagnosing and resolving issues within containerized environments
  • Helm Chart and Kustomizations development/deployment
  • Python and/or Golang programming, or other general purpose programming languages
  • Automation and IaC, e.g., Terraform
  • Cloud infrastructure: AWS and Azure
  • Managing and troubleshooting Linux systems, e.g., networking and bash scripting
  • Active Secret (or above) US security clearance and US citizenship

The following isn't required, but we'd love to see it:
  • Familiarity with DOD networking, tools, infrastructure, security requirements, and policies
  • Proficiency with US federal information system security policies, including STIGs, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and ICD 503
  • Experience with software deployments to on-premises and cloud-based unclassified, CUI, and classified networks within the DOD
  • Experience with DevSecOps/DevOps and CI/CD for the administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers
  • Experience deploying or maintaining CNCF projects
  • Experience with NAS and SAN technologies
  • Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications and services in DDIL environments

You will be remote or hybrid out of our Austin office. This role requires travel up to 20% of the time.
Compensation

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $185,000-$230,000/year. Striveworks' total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.
Benefits include:
  • 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
