About the role

Generalist software engineering role building Radical AI’s core platform for autonomous lab experiments, with work spanning backend services, data and orchestration pipelines, internal tooling, and production observability; emphasis on correctness, reliability, and hybrid cloud/on-prem deployments in customer environments.

Responsibilities

  • Lab backend: experiment definitions, sample path-planning, long running durable task execution
  • Data backend: database schemas, migrations, ETL pipelines, object storage + partition design
  • Internal platforms: developer tooling, SDKs, shared services, service templates
  • Observability and reliability: structured logs, metrics, tracing, production debugging (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana)
  • Hybrid infrastructure: cloud + on-prem, containerization, orchestration, infrastructure-as-code
  • Agent capabilities and tooling: API integrations, code execution, scientific literature retrieval, workflow automation
  • Scientific workflow orchestration: Bayesian optimization loops, experiment scheduling, long-running job execution, retries, idempotency
  • Data pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and serving data to models and LLMs

Qualifications

  • 5–6+ years of production software engineering experience; strong enough to design, build, and ship end-to-end
  • Fluency in Go and/or Python; additional stack experience (TypeScript, Rust) is welcome
  • Deep comfort with distributed systems: timeouts, retries, idempotency, partial failure, dead-letter queues, safe rollback
  • Experience with concurrent and asynchronous programming — event loops, cancellation semantics, bounded queues, task orchestration under failure
  • Solid networking fundamentals
  • Containerization and cloud deployment experience (Kubernetes, AWS); comfort debugging Linux systems
  • High ownership: you find problems before they find users and raise the bar for quality
