Remote - Staff Machine Learning Engineer (Active Secret Clearance)

"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 Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will be both a core contributor and a customer-facing technical leader. You'll initiate the design, build, and delivery of systems—from data shaping and analytics to end-user delivery. Customers and engineers will bring you the hard problems. You'll turn them into working systems and see them through to execution. The work will take you into the field, where direct customer input will shape what we build next. 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.

You will be remote or hybrid out of our Austin, Texas, office. This role requires travel up to 25% of the time. Compensation The anticipated base pay range for this position is $210,000–$260,000/year. Striveworks' total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.
