Radical AI is accelerating scientific research & development by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to pioneer generative materials science, revolutionizing how materials are created and discovered, and speeding up R&D to address global challenges.
Requirements
- Strong systems programming experience in Python, Go, Rust, or C++
- written real-world state machines, gRPC or protobuf-based APIs, and low-latency services
- Deep familiarity with concurrent and asynchronous programming, including event loops, cancellation semantics, bounded queues, and task orchestration under failure modes
- designed device orchestration layers that can execute long-running procedures, monitor device health, and stream telemetry
- built and debugged protocol-aware interfaces for serial, TCP, USB, I²C, or similar buses
- worked on telemetry pipelines using structured logs and time-series data, built systems for ingesting and querying device state
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerization
Responsibilities
- design and build core infrastructure that underpins how software interacts with our autonomous labs
- own foundational components such as orchestration layers, telemetry pipelines, fault recovery systems, and data layers
- execute experiments, managing state, and ensuring safe and deterministic behavior in our hardware stack
- directly control and monitor systems in the real world
- build software that runs close to the metal
- design device orchestration layers that can execute long-running procedures, monitor device health, and stream telemetry
- build and debug protocol-aware interfaces for serial, TCP, USB, I²C, or similar buses
Other
- You’re a systems-minded engineer who thrives in environments where the boundary between software and hardware is thin.
- You think about how systems fail just as much as how they succeed.
- You may not have done all of the following, but the prospect of learning and owning these technologies excites you:
- Competitive compensation package also includes the best in benefits:
- A mission: an opportunity to fundamentally change the way humanity makes progress through materials science discovery.
