“In 36 months, agentic AI systems will be an operating reality across major institutions. We intend to be central to it.” — Dr. Jim Rebesco, Cofounder and CEO, Striveworks
The government’s demand for AI is growing far faster than the systems required to support it. Fewer than 15% of federal AI programs have reached sustained production, despite billions of dollars invested. The models perform in testing, but they degrade in the real world. And when performance drops, trust goes with it.
Striveworks was built to solve that problem.
What you’ll 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 Junior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be a core contributor to both customer-driven projects and the enduring products of the company. Working alongside data scientists, software engineers, and DevOps engineers, you’ll develop AI capabilities, custom analytics, and mission-critical solutions applied to image, video, text, geospatial, time series, structured, and other data. You will orchestrate complex data engineering pipelines in agentic and traditional architectures. Your work will inform the future of Chariot, our proprietary AI operations platform, and your impact will be felt across mission-critical deployments and direct customer contact.
What it’s like here
We lead with trust, treat each other with respect, and use candor consistently, kindly, and constructively. We care deeply about our work, and we find genuine satisfaction in doing it well. Above all, we take ownership—because we feel the weight of collective results personally. We are looking for people who share these values and are eager to put them into practice.
What we’re looking for
•
A BS degree in computer science, machine learning, or a related discipline and 0–2 years of relevant experience
•
Strong proficiency in Python including experience with libraries and frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and/or scikit-learn
•
Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience with at least one systems programming language
•
Exposure to the development and use of machine learning models, through either coursework or practical experience
•
Familiarity with modern software engineering tools and processes
•
US citizenship and eligibility and willingness to obtain and maintain a US security clearance (Secret or above)
