Junior Front-End Engineer
Austin, Texas, United States

“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’ll 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 Junior Front-End Engineer, you’ll play an active role in designing and implementing UI/UX components for our core products. You’ll work closely with a team of UX designers, data scientists, and software engineers to solve complex problems—making this an ideal environment to accelerate your technical growth while delivering high-impact solutions for our users.
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
A bachelor’s degree in computer science or another engineering or science discipline, or completion of a software development boot camp and 0–2 years of relevant professional experience
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript, with a solid understanding of language fundamentals, asynchronous programming, and modern front-end development practices
Familiarity with UI/UX, knowledge of design patterns, and experience designing and styling applications with CSS
Experience building web applications with React through professional, academic, or personal projects
Experience working with REST APIs and integrating back-end services into front-end applications
Experience with Git and modern software development workflows
Familiarity with component frameworks like Material UI or similar frameworks
Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn
US citizenship and eligibility and willingness to obtain and maintain a US security clearance (Secret or above)
The following isn’t required, but we’d love to see it:
Demonstrated software development through personal, academic, or open source projects
Experience with GraphQL, Next.js, Node.js
Familiarity with libraries such as React Query/TanStack, Axios, Context API, styled-components
Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure), automated testing frameworks, and/or CI/CD processes
Familiarity with Python or Golang
Experience implementing and deploying software in containerized or cloud environments, using tools such as Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes (K8s)
Passion for discussing and creating mocks in Figma; working directly with design to create the best user experience
Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at our office in Austin, TX.
