Striveworks helps organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real-world national security and business challenges by serving as the command center between data, models, and business outcomes. Founded by data scientists and engineers, Striveworks set out to make the journey from deployment to ongoing optimization simple and effective.
With Striveworks, organizations aren’t just deploying AI—they’re building systems that remain reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in an unpredictable world. Mission-critical operations require models that perform where they’re deployed, scale as workloads grow, and adapt rapidly as AI capabilities advance. Striveworks meets these demands, increasing reliability and performance while lowering costs—and enabling confident, data-driven decision-making in dynamic environments.
As the IT Manager at Striveworks, you will be the primary architect and guardian of the internal infrastructure that enables our elite engineering and data science teams. This is a “player-coach” role: You will be challenged—and trusted—on day one to lead our IT strategy, manage vendor relationships, and mentor junior staff while also “rolling up your sleeves” to execute on hands-on technical projects.
You’re right for this opportunity if you have a deep background in systems administration, site reliability engineering, and DevOps. You understand that IT at an AI operations company isn’t just about help desk tickets—it’s about building high-availability systems, securing sensitive data, and optimizing the developer experience.
