We intend to be central to it.” - Dr. Jim Rebesco, Cofounder and CEO, Striveworks \nThe 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.\nStriveworks was built to solve that problem.\nWhat you’ll build\nSince 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.\nAs a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are where the platform meets the mission. Our systems stay online and reliable in the field because of what you build, automate, and maintain. You will interface directly with customers and work across teams. You’ll define what needs to be built, deploy it, and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy the challenge of debugging complex Kubernetes clusters where connectivity is a luxury, not a given. You are someone who can navigate the unique constraints of local hardware today and write the automation that ensures seamless, reliable performance across the customer’s hybrid stack tomorrow.\nWhat it’s like here\nWe 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.\nWhat we’re looking for\n6+ years of direct, hands-on experience in:\nMicroservices deployment in Kubernetes\nDiagnosing and resolving issues within containerized environments\nHelm Chart and Kustomizations development/deployment\nPython and/or Golang programming, or other general purpose programming languages\nAutomation and IaC, e.g., Terraform\nCloud infrastructure: AWS and Azure\nManaging and troubleshooting Linux systems, e.g., networking and bash scripting\nActive Secret (or above) US security clearance and US citizenship\nThe following isn’t required, but we’d love to see it:\nFamiliarity with DOD networking, tools, infrastructure, security requirements, and policies\nProficiency with US federal information system security policies, including STIGs, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and ICD 503\nExperience with software deployments to on-premises and cloud-based unclassified, CUI, and classified networks within the DOD\nExperience with DevSecOps/DevOps and CI/CD for the administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers\nExperience deploying or maintaining CNCF projects\nExperience with NAS and SAN technologies\nExperience with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications and services in DDIL impact environments\nYou will be remote or hybrid/on site at our customer sites at Joint Base Lewis-McChord In Tacoma, WA. If remote, you must be located in the Pacific or Mountain time zone. You will be expected to travel up to 25% of the time.\nCompensation\nThe anticipated base pay range for this position is $185,000-$230,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.\nBenefits include:\nMedical/dental/vision insurance\nVoluntary life, long-term disability, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance\nHSA and FSA (including dependent care FSA) plans\n401(k) plan\nUnlimited PTO\nPaid parental leave\nReady to build systems that work for a mission that matters?
