Strider Technologies delivers strategic intelligence that helps organizations make faster, more confident decisions in an increasingly complex global environment. Using cutting-edge AI and proprietary methodologies, we transform open-source data into actionable insights that help protect technology, talent, and supply chains from nation-state risks.
We are looking for an exceptionally motivated Staff AI Engineer to join Strider’s Context Engineering team. Context Engineering exists to help shape, stage, and prioritize data for consumption by our analysts, customers, and agentic analytical production processes. We are looking for candidates who are comfortable working across our full data processing pipeline and are motivated by solving problems and having mission impact. We want individuals who are excited to use AI to amplify their leverage and are enthusiastic about the evolving practice of software and agentic engineering.
You will:
Optimize a variety of LLM-based data processing tasks: for example, entity disambiguation, document quality and relevance scoring, text extraction tasks.
What you need to be successful:
Experience shipping features and solutions that use LLMs in data heavy environments. Experience with frontier model SDKs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), open-source model providers and frameworks, agentic frameworks.

How We Work
We’re a hybrid team that values autonomy, mission impact, and craftsmanship in equal measure. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
We own our work end-to-end. Engineers here don’t just write code — they help shape the problem, design the solution, and care about what happens after it ships. You’ll have genuine ownership over meaningful ML systems, not just tickets in a queue.
We make space to go deep. Novel research and creative exploration are encouraged, not squeezed into the margins. We create time for engineers to dig into hard problems and invest in their craft — whether that’s a new modeling approach, a better evaluation framework, or contributing to internal tooling that raises the whole team’s ceiling.
We trust each other with the hard stuff. You’ll be working on problems where the answers aren’t obvious. We want people who are comfortable with ambiguity, willing to surface concerns early, and confident enough to push back when something doesn’t seem right.
