Senior Software Engineer

Overview

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. You’re right for this challenge if you value and possess technical expertise and you push the boundaries of your own capabilities. You are outcome driven, not requirements driven. We’re looking for people who are excited about our central development themes:

• Everything as Code
• Hexagonal, event-driven, microservice architecture
• Optimizing, deploying, and refining AI models and algorithms

The Right Fit

We spend a lot of time during our hiring process talking about shared values.

The Right Fit is about aligning values and ensuring you can thrive in an environment where you can self-actualize and pursue greatness. This is about giving you the conditions to thrive in an environment where you can achieve your goals, where 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 we want you to know that being part of a top-tier team means that there is no smartest person in the room.

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.

What we’re looking for

• 6–8 years of hands on development experience
• Excellence in Go, C++ (17 or higher), Java (11 or higher), C# (9 or higher), or Rust
• Proficiency in Python
• Experience with DevOps tooling: CI/CD tools, Git, Docker, Kubernetes
• Proven experience with cloud architecture: commercial cloud, OpenStack
• Experience in the design and development of performant, scalable services
• Familiarity with database design and architecture: relational and non-relational
• Ability to work cross-functionally and participate in or lead design discussions
• Ability to independently lead the software development life cycle, from collaborating with product teams on requirements to executing technical design, implementation, and deployment
• Experience in knowledge sharing, mentoring, and coaching (i.e., onboarding, code reviews, leading junior engineers)
• Strong understanding of software development principles, such as object-oriented programming, design patterns, documentation, and agile methodologies
• Strong sense of mission and commitment to making a difference
• Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field, or similar experience
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or Green Card holder)
