“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’d 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 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. Working across teams, you'll define what needs to be built, deploy it, and keep it running across commercial, unclassified, CUI, and classified DOD networks. When there's a problem without an owner, you take it. New technologies are yours to explore, and the engineers behind you will learn from watching you work. 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. What we’re looking for 6+ years of direct, hands-on experience in: Microservice deployment in Kubernetes Diagnosing and resolving issues within containerized environments Helm Chart and Kustomizations development/deployment Python and/or Golang programming, or other general purpose programming languages Automation and IaC, e.g., Terraform Cloud infrastructure: AWS and Azure Managing and troubleshooting Linux systems, e.g., networking and bash scripting Active Secret (or above) US security clearance and US citizenship The following isn't required, but we'd love to see it: Familiarity with DOD networking, tools, infrastructure, security requirements, and policies Proficiency with US federal information system security policies, including STIGs, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and ICD 503 Experience with software deployments to on-premises and cloud-based unclassified, CUI, and classified networks within the DOD Experience with DevSecOps/DevOps and CI/CD for the administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers Experience deploying or maintaining CNCF projects Experience with NAS and SAN technologies Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications and services in DDIL environments You will be remote or hybrid out of our Austin office. This role requires travel up to 20% of the time. Compensation The 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. Benefits include: Medical/dental/vision insurance Voluntary life, long-term disability, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance HSA and FSA (including dependent care FSA) plans 401(k) plan Unlimited PTO Paid parental leave Ready to build systems that work for a mission that matters?

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN
That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
