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 a Senior Data Scientist at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the projects, products, and direction of the company. You will represent Striveworks as a technology builder on projects and solutions that leverage Chariot, our proprietary AI operations platform, and you will inform and contribute to future capabilities of that platform. You will work as part of a team of data scientists, machine learning engineers, software engineers, and DevOps engineers to transform machine learning models into functional products.
You’re right for this opportunity if you value and possess technical expertise and enjoy pushing the boundaries of your own capabilities. You’re outcome driven and are passionate about applying both software and data science to solve real-world problems. You know that being customer focused, rigorous in approach, clear in communication, and able to identify repeatable value opportunities are all critical to success. You are able to sense the needs of the customer, identify evolving demands, and then synthesize that feedback into actionable suggestions for Striveworks’ product teams.
