Site Reliability Engineer
The Role
As a Site Reliability Engineer and the Information Systems Security Manager (SRE-ISSM) at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—from day one to apply your own experience and training to solve IT infrastructure and cyber-security problems using codified, repeatable solutions. You will be responsible for building and maintaining Striveworks’ cyber-security infrastructure—both on-prem and in various cloud service providers—using Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies. You will be expected to wear multiple hats and step into vacuums where more work is needed, and will be given the breadth to explore new technologies. Engineers and data scientists will rely on you to help integrate their work into functional products.
You’re right for this opportunity if you value and possess technical expertise and you enjoy pushing the boundaries of your own capabilities. You will work collaboratively with software engineers, data scientists, and product end users on a daily basis.

- Contribute to the design and implementation of cybersecurity plans and controls for responsible systems within the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF)
- Monitor and enforce compliance with all SOPs and other applicable security rules and regulations (i.e. NISPOM, DCIDs, ICDs and other applicable documents), and recommend updates to maintain compliance with those regulations
- Contribute to the design- and build-standard decisions for a SCIF in support of multiple classified systems
- Automate the collection and production of information systems’ accreditation and certification support documentation
- Respond to Information Security Incidents appropriately
- Automate system audits and alerting
- Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of information security procedures and safeguards

Striveworks: Better Models, Faster
The world has looked to data analytics to bridge the gap between floods of data and the struggle to use that data effectively to make timely, impactful decisions. Today, most organizations are awash in analytics that “aren’t quite right”—models that were developed too generally, or too slowly, to be effective in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Striveworks is simplifying ModelOps with a powerful and extensible platform that instantiates the data analytic process as code.
Striveworks is trusted by leading Fortune 500 firms as well as leaders in the public sector as a primary solution for managing model development, monitoring, and governance—and ensuring those models solve the real challenges their organizations face.
Striveworks’ Chariot platform enables users to turn their own production data into models and turn models into production systems. Uniquely, as you train, test, deploy, and use models, our lineage system enables you to track not only the “upstream” provenance of model and data sources, but also the “downstream” usage of the resultant model inferences. Combining this with a principled experience for data and model development, Chariot gives our customers in highly regulated industries an unmatched governance solution over the top of a performant ModelOps platform.
