Software Engineering / Technology

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 AI's approach speeds up R&D and addresses global challenges, setting new benchmarks in technology and sustainability.
As a Software Engineer at Radical, you'll 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 domain-robotics, ML, and experimental automation-and 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.
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. High ownership: you proactively find problems, drive fixes, and raise the bar for quality .
internal/external API integrations, code execution, scientific literature retrieval, workflow automation).
Scientific workflow orchestration (e.g., 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.
Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/CloudFormation, cloud + on-prem deployments.
Frontend engineering experience with Svelte, React, or similar frameworks. You've built responsive, real-time interfaces and care about state management, testing, and usability. You've worked with structured APIs and understand browser performance implications.
