As a Senior Software Engineer at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the products and direction of the company.

Our flagship product, Chariot, is used by customers to develop, deploy, and maintain production ML models. We’re looking for exemplary engineers with a product mindset, who can write quality code in Go and Python and who ultimately want to be core contributors to the direction of the company.

We’re looking for people who are excited about our central development themes:

Cloud-neutral development 
User-centric design
Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture 
Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms 

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/on site at our office in northwest Austin, TX.
In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust. 
Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.
