The Role
As a Software Engineer at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the projects and 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 will be responsible for rapidly prototyping and delivering proofs of concept for customers. You are outcome-driven, not requirements-driven. You'll be hands-on-keyboard, working alongside a team of data scientists to integrate their work into functional products. Examples include applied computer vision and the construction of data engineering pipelines.
- Everything as Code
- Cloud-neutral development
- Novel workflow orchestration
- Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture
- Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms
- Opportunity to conduct mission-critical field work
The Right Fit
Purehearted geniuses. How do you know you’re a purehearted genius? Easy: you persevere relentlessly to achieve your goals. You know the team has the same goals as you, and you make and accept decisions for the team with humility. Your say/do ratio is 1. Your “acceptable” is what others call “excellence.” You know that there is no smartest person in the room. Fit all those? We’re already on the same page. Here’s what else we’re looking for:
- 4+ years relevant experience
- Excellence in Python or GoLang
- Applicants welcome with excellence in another major language, particularly Java, C/C++
- Knowledge of DevOps tooling: CI/CD tools, Git, Docker, Kubernetes
- Familiarity with database design and architecture: relational and non-relational
- Comfort with cloud architecture: commercial cloud, OpenStack
- Comfort with deep learning library (Tensorflow, Pytorch) implementation and integration
- Excellent project planning and communication skills.
- Driven, self-directed personality
- Strong sense of mission and commitment to making a difference
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency
The Wish List
We’re very interested in Software Engineers that possess the above qualifications, and heavily appreciate and consider the addition of:
- Active TS/SCI security clearance
- Knowledge of messaging systems especially Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar
- Understanding of JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular
- Experience designing RESTful or GraphQL APIs
- Strong understanding of synchronous and asynchronous programming, concurrency
- Understanding of networked and distributed computing (gRPC)
- Experience with workflow automation

The Perks
So you made it this far and are up for the task... good, we've been waiting for you! Joining Striveworks in its current stage means you'll be a key player in our growth strategy.
