Senior Machine Learning Engineer

The Role

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

Our products are used by customers to develop, deploy, and maintain production ML models. We’re looking for engineers with a breadth of experience and interest in both machine learning and software or data engineering.  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.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Building tooling around cutting edge AI/ML techniques
  • Everything as code
  • Working with a fast moving and small team within the organization.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $190,000–$240,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, annual performance-based equity grants, and a lucrative yearly cash bonus.

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/onsite at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

The Right Fit

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

Why? We passionately believe that fostering an environment where people can self-actualize and pursue greatness is the best way to achieve our individual and collective goals. 

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. At Striveworks, we want your say/do ratio to be 1 and to know that being part of a top-tier team means that there is no smartest person in the room. If that makes sense, we’re already on the same page. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • 8+ years of hands on development experience
  • Experience building libraries and/or frameworks
  • Knowledge of deep learning and experience with deep learning frameworks (such as PyTorch, JAX, or Tensorflow)
  • Experience with Huggingface and the Transformers library
  • Experience with writing efficient and scalable ETL processes
  • Experience operationalizing models to a production environment
  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience with ML serving technologies and protocols such as Kserve, MLServer, BentoML, etc.
  • Rigorous knowledge of Python
  • Driven, self-directed personality

The Wish List

We’re very interested in candidates who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate and consider the addition of:

  • Understanding of synchronous/asynchronous programming, concurrency
  • Experience designing RESTful or GraphQL APIs
  • Understanding of JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular
  • Experience with hyperparameter tuning and neural network architecture search while training models and technologies used to assist and automate the search process such as Katib, Ray Tune, etc.
  • Experience with Cython and/or CUDA
  • Experience writing services in Python with modern frameworks such as FastAPI
  • Experience writing services in Go, Java, Rust, C++, or similar

The Benefits

  • Top-of-market salary and total compensation
  • Generous equity plan
  • Health/vision/dental insurance
  • Flexible PTO
  • Parental leave
