Job Description

## **The Role**

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.

## **The Right Fit**

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 else we’re looking for:

* 1+ years experience in the following:
* Must have experience in all of the following:
* Deploying infrastructure in a cloud such as AWS, Azure, GCP, or OpenStack

* Utilizing Git for source control management
* Server administration with Linux
* Must have experience in at least one of the following:
* Python or another programing language
* Bash or another shell scripting language
* 4+ years total experience in any IT career field
* Excellent organizational, verbal, and written communications skills
* Willingness to obtain and/or maintain a U.S. security clearance

## **The Wish List**

We’re very interested in Engineers who possess the above qualifications, and
heavily appreciate and consider the addition of experience in:

* Automation and Infrastructure as Code
* DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and/or automated security scanning
* IT help desk or software support experience
* Network technologies: VLANs, switches, routers, firewalls, VPN
* Supporting enterprise or customer-facing information systems in a DoD environment

* Managing and/or deploying information systems on DoD or other air-gapped networks

* Academic degree in Computer Science or a related field
* Active security clearance (Secret, TS, and above)

## **The Tech Stack**

We believe in constant curiosity and peer-driven learning. As a Site
Reliability Engineer at Striveworks, you’ll have access to our growing
learning library, learn about—or present—the latest research at our weekly
journal club, participate in open-source projects, and take part in pair
programming. Find some of our public projects at github.com/Striveworks.
You’ll be able to grow your skills in:

* Ansible
* Bash
* AWS
* Kubernetes
* Python

## 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
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.
