Entrylevel Full Stack Web Developer Jobs in Hawaii

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 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 (AIOps) 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.
Your day-to-day will include:

• Developing and validating machine learning models and custom analytic algorithms that are applied to image, video, text, geospatial, time series, and structured data
• Implementing AI-based software solutions for cloud and edge environments
• Conducting mission-critical fieldwork in support of customers and other stakeholders

This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at customer sites at Schofield Barracks in Oߵahu, Hawaiߵi. You will be expected to travel up to 30% of the time, including some international travel.

• Exposure to software development life cycle and tools (e.g., Git, Agile)
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship

• Experience building AI agents and agentic workflows
• Experience implementing ETL pipelines, data pipelines, and/or workflow automation
• Experience developing software in a compiled programming language (e.g., Go, Rust, C++, Java, etc.)
• Experience building full-stack applications (i.e., back end, front end, REST)
