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 working on platform youll design and build the internal backbone that makes Radical AI run: the services frameworks deployment primitives developer workflows and reliability systems that allow product engineers scientists and ML teams to ship faster - without breaking things.
This is not a tickets and toil DevOps role. Were looking for a strong backend engineer whos spent years building real systems and now wants to own the platform that makes every team faster.
Mission
- Build and operate core platform services that power production systems
- Design internal APIs service patterns and shared libraries that enable teams to ship quickly and safely
- Own reliability in real-world environments: deployments failures observability incident response and debugging
- Improve our developer experience: CI/CD testing workflows environment management and self-serve tooling
- Aid in production hardening: rollout strategies safe migrations incident playbooks reliability testing
- Service orchestration primitives: queues schedulers retries idempotency cancellations and long-running workflows
- Partner closely with backend ML robotics and science teams to turn platform needs into clean abstractions
About you
- 5 years of experience building backend systems in production environments.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (design implementation testing reliability).
- Fluency in at least one backend language: e.g. Python Go Rust TypeScript etc.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Comfort operating services in the real world: on-call debugging performance bottlenecks failure modes.
- Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. GitHub Actions Jenkins CircleCI) and integrating security checks within them.
- Ability to build clean abstractions that other engineers actually want to use.
- Solid understanding of Linux/Unix systems administration.
- Experience with monitoring logging and tracing tools (Datadog Prometheus Grafana Splunk ELK etc.).
- Understanding of network security concepts (e.g. firewalls VPNs network segmentation Tailscale).
- Strong ownership and bias toward action: you find the sharp edges and sand them down.
Pluses
- Exposure to machine learning lifecycles or MLOps concepts.
- Experience with distributed systems (queues schedulers event-driven architectures consistency tradeoffs).
- Background in scientific computing robotics or automation-heavy environments.
- Solid understanding of security principles practices and common security tools (e.g. vulnerability scanners intrusion detection systems).
- Experience with security and compliance software (e.g. Drata Apptega).
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.
