Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World

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.

The Role

The Field Program Manager (FPM) is a hands-on leader aligned to a US Army Division HQ who serves as Striveworks’ primary program leadership presence for the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program. This is an “ownership” role, not a coordination role; you are the primary authority for delivery, customer relationships, and growth. The FPM collaborates across a small, cross-functional project team to drive execution against the program roadmap and is the person Striveworks leadership calls when something is at risk. This position is designed for someone who has experience in complex Army environments, who understands how Division-level decisions are actually made, and who is done watching technology fail to land because nobody owned the last mile.

At Striveworks, you are trusted to operate autonomously, step into vacuums, and advocate for the end user with technical specificity. Success is measured by presence and follow-through rather than slide decks. You will serve as the company’s voice in the room, translating customer friction points into actionable technical roadmaps while maintaining a persistent pulse on how capabilities are utilized in the field. We value proactive problem-solvers who can mitigate execution risks independently and ensure that mission-critical systems land effectively within the formation.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Own the relationship: Serve as the primary point of contact for all stakeholders, from end users to Division leadership, to build trust and ensure long-term retention
• Drive growth: Identify expansion opportunities within the formation and surface competitive threats or “win signals” to leadership with enough lead time to act
• Define success: Diagnose operational problems before the customer names them, ensuring that Striveworks’ capabilities are providing measurable value
• Bridge the technical gap: Translate field needs into specific, actionable inputs for the engineering team to ensure that product development matches mission reality
• Execute the roadmap: Synchronize technical delivery with contractual milestones, the customer’s operational calendar, and exercise cycles to ensure on-time execution
• Mitigate risk: Identify delivery obstacles early, and autonomously resolve execution issues—escalating them to leadership only with recommended courses of action, not problems

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/on site at our office in northwest Austin, TX. You will be expected to travel up to 25% of the time to our customer sites at Schofield Army Barracks in Oߵahu, Hawaiߵi.

The Right Fit

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust. 

Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree and 4–6+ years of experience with military operations at Division (2-star) level or higher 
• Demonstrated experience planning and directing the execution of complex, multi-stakeholder project activities; proven team leadership in high-accountability environments
• Track record of building and sustaining rapport and trust with senior military and civilian stakeholders across different organizational levels
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to operate credibly across Soldier-level and executive-level audiences in the same day
• Technical fluency to engage software engineers and data scientists as an informed, non-technical counterpart; the ability to translate customer needs to contractual requirements
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship

The Wish List

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

• Former Field Grade Officer or Senior NCO, or similar

• Working knowledge of agile software delivery practices; able to hold a technical team accountable to a cadence without micromanaging the engineering
• Meaningful exposure to machine learning/AI capabilities in operational or defense contexts—enough to recognize value, identify misuse, and advocate credibly for the customer
• Aptitude with customer success or account management functions within a defense technology vendor

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $145,000–$185,000/year. For candidates located in Hawaiߵi, the anticipated base pay range for this position is $175,000–$220,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.

The Role

The Embedded Operations Manager is Striveworks’ permanent, on-the-ground presence at a US Army Division HQ, accountable for the “last mile” of the NGC2 program. Partnered with the Field Program Manager and Technical Lead, you bridge the gap between high-level program intent and daily tactical execution. This role is designed for a mission-driven professional who thrives on proximity to the Soldier and understands that in an operational environment, presence and follow-through are the only currency that matters. You are the critical link that determines whether Striveworks is viewed as a vendor or a trusted partner.

Operating with high autonomy, you manage the ground-level logistics, readiness, and relationships that keep the program moving. An Embedded Operations Manager operates with autonomy, sound judgment, and an ownership mentality—not because someone is watching, but because the mission demands it. This role requires someone who can hold the ground professionally when the rest of the team is remote, who can read a room full of Soldiers and a room full of senior leaders with equal credibility, and who knows instinctively when to solve a problem and when to escalate one. As an operations manager, you take personal ownership of the mission. You are the program’s earliest warning system, ensuring that our software engineers and data scientists are perfectly synced with the unit’s operational reality.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Ensure operational readiness: Own the preparation and execution checklists for all exercise cycles and operations, avoiding preventable gaps in systems or facilities access
• Manage on-site logistics: Lead end-to-end ground logistics, including equipment accountability, teammate enablement, and local project team coordination
• Cultivate Soldier-level trust: Build deep, daily relationships across the formation to ensure that Striveworks’ capabilities are integrated into the unit’s actual workflow
• Act as an early warning system: Identify and surface customer friction points, sentiment shifts, and emerging requirements to leadership with enough lead time to act
• Resolve ground-level issues: Handle customer exceptions and satisfaction issues autonomously, escalating scope changes or senior commander demands to the Field Program Manager
• Coordinate field execution: Synchronize on-site team activities with the technical roadmap, ensuring ground-level progress alignment to operational requirements
• Maintain situational awareness: Provide continuous updates on delivery risks and blockers to ensure that program leadership is never surprised by conditions on the ground

This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at our customer sites in Fort Carson, Colorado. You will be expected to travel up to 15% of the time.

The Right Fit

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust.

Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent demonstrated experience and 3+ years of experience with military operations at brigade level or higher; someone who understands how formations operate, not just how they’re organized 
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, high-stakes environments; sound judgment about when to act and when to escalate
• Track record of building trust with Soldiers and senior leaders through presence and follow-through—not rank or slide decks
• Strong written and verbal communication across organizational levels; able to represent Striveworks credibly in any room at the formation
• Sufficient technical fluency to participate meaningfully in software delivery conversations without leading them
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship

The Wish List

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

• Direct experience with Army battlefield technology implementations at the unit level; you’ve watched a capability land well or fail badly, and you know the difference
• Familiarity with DOD IT, network, and communications infrastructure as an operator, not just an observer
• Experience with systems-account management, system access administration, or similar on-site enablement responsibilities in a DOD environment
• Prior experience in an embedded, liaison, or resident role with a defense technology vendor or program office
• Exposure to agile software delivery practices—enough to track a sprint, understand a backlog, and ask the right questions of a technical team
• Enough familiarity with machine learning/AI capabilities in operational contexts to explain basic value propositions to a skeptical Soldier

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $130,000–$160,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.

The Benefits

Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World

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.

The Role

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Striveworks, you will be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be both a core contributor and a customer-facing technical leader on the projects and direction of the company. In this mission-critical work, you will design AI-powered solutions, you will bring them into being—from data shaping and ingestion, through analytics, to end-user delivery—and you will inform future platform capabilities.

You’re right for this opportunity if you value and possess technical expertise and enjoy pushing the boundaries of your own capabilities. You are passionate about applying both software engineering and data science to solve real-world problems. You are comfortable simultaneously leading a team, executing directly on critical elements of the plan, and presenting vision and outcomes to your customer.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Working with customers, engineers, and other stakeholders to define clear requirements that solve the customers’ problems and leverage the capabilities of our AI operations platform.
• Translating requirements into a technical approach, design, scoping estimate, and execution plan.
• Leading execution teams to achieve on-time completion of project deliverables mapped to customer business value while making key individual contributions throughout the process.
• Designing, orchestrating, and automating complex data pipelines and algorithms within modern architectures (cloud, event-driven, microservices, etc.).
• Guiding the development of machine learning models and custom analytics applied to image, video, text, geospatial, time series, and structured data.  
• Raising insights, opportunities, challenges, and feedback in order to improve group-level practice, capture reusable functionality, expand company opportunities, and accelerate time to value.
• Conducting mission-critical fieldwork and interfacing with customers and other stakeholders at their work sites.

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/on site at our office in northwest Austin, TX. You will be expected to travel up to 20% of the time. 

The Right Fit

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust. 

Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Advanced degree in data science, machine learning, computer science, or a related discipline and 10+ years of relevant experience 
• Broad proficiency in programming languages common to machine learning (excellence in Python is essential, as is knowledge of libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn) and systems programming (e.g., Go, Rust, C++, Java, Scala, etc.)
• Proficiency in the design and delivery of algorithms, data structures, and production analytics and in the use of design patterns in cloud environments
• Demonstrated experience defining, scoping, planning, and delivering complex technical solutions in production environments
• Proficiency with modern software engineering tools and processes (Agile, version control, issue tracking, CI/CD, debugging, etc.)
• Demonstrated ability to lead, manage, and mentor small cross-functional teams that work across office, remote, and customer sites
• Ability to communicate complex topics with professionalism, competence, and clarity to internal and external stakeholders (both technical and non-technical) via documents, presentations, and conversations
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship
