Job Summary
Radical AI Inc.is an artificial intelligence company that is accelerating scientific research & development. We are at the forefront of innovation in the field of materials R&D a critical driver for advancing our most cutting-edge industries and shaping the future. Breaking away from the traditionally slow and costly R&D process Radical AI leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to pioneer generative materials science. This innovative field blends AI engineering and materials science revolutionizing how materials are created and discovered. Radical AIs approach speeds up R&D and addresses global challenges setting new benchmarks in technology and sustainability.
As a Software Engineer at Radical youll build the core software that powers our autonomous lab and AI platform. This is a generalist role: you might work on backend services agent tooling data orchestration internal platforms and the infrastructure that keeps everything secure observable and reliable in production.
We work in a deeply technical and cross-discipline domainrobotics ML and experimental automationand your software will directly control and monitor systems in the real world. You may not have done all of the things we mention on this posting but the prospect of learning and owning these technologies excites you.
About You
- Strong fundamentals: you can design build and ship production software end-to-end.
- Experience with modern backend development (Python Go Rust or similar).
- Familiarity with concurrent and asynchronous programming including event loops cancellation semantics bounded queues and task orchestration under failure modes. You know how to handle timeouts retries and device-level race conditions.
- Comfort with distributed systems realities: timeouts retries async/concurrency partial failure debugging in production.
- Experience designing and operating fault-tolerant distributed systems where retries idempotency dead-letter queues and safe rollback are all table stakes.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerization.
- Strong engineering taste: you prioritize correctness maintainability and clear interfaces.
- High ownership: you proactively find problems drive fixes and raise the bar for quality.
Some things you might work on
- Agent capabilities and tools (e.g. internal/external API integrations code execution scientific literature retrieval workflow automation).
- Scientific workflow orchestration (e.g. Bayesian optimization loops experiment scheduling long-running job execution retries/idempotency).
- Pipelines for ingesting storing and transforming data used by models and LLMs.
- Internal platforms that make engineers faster: developer tooling SDKs shared services service templates.
- Observability and reliability systems: structured logs metrics tracing debugging workflows (OpenTelemetry Prometheus/Grafana etc.).
- Hybrid infra (cloud on-prem) containerization orchestration and infrastructure-as-code.
Pluses
- Experience with agentic systems / LLM workflows (LangChain PydanticAI tool-calling context management).
- Infrastructure experience: Docker Kubernetes Terraform/CloudFormation cloud on-prem deployments.
- Experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions Jenkins CircleCI) and/or DevSecOps practices.
- Experience with embedded protocols (e.g. serial I²C Modbus) device virtualization or microcontroller firmware.
- Strong observability experience (Datadog Prometheus Grafana ELK tracing).
- Contributions to systems for robotics automation or manufacturing infrastructure.
- Frontend engineering experience with Svelte React or similar frameworks. Youve built responsive real-time interfaces and care about state management testing and usability. Youve worked with structured APIs and understand browser performance implications.
- Comfort designing reproducible and testable systems for devices that dont always behave perfectly.
What we offer
- A competitive compensation package also includes the best in benefits:
- Medical dental and vision insurance for you and your family covered at 100%
- Mental health and wellness support
- Unlimited PTO and 14 company holidays per year
- 401K
- Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research.
- A mission: an opportunity to fundamentally change the way humanity makes progress through materials science discovery.
