Software Engineer

Radical AI is replacing an R&D process that currently takes 10+ years and $100 million to produce a single discovery. Our self-driving lab platform combines AI with autonomous robotics to run experiments, analyze results, and iterate—continuously, without human bottlenecks. For industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, and space, that means breakthroughs in weeks instead of years. The Role This is a generalist software engineering role on the team building the core platform that powers our autonomous lab. Depending on where you plug in, you might own backend services, agent tooling, data and orchestration pipelines, internal platforms, or the infrastructure that keeps our systems observable and reliable in production. What's non-negotiable: strong systems thinking, production instincts, and the ability to contribute across the stack. We're building software that controls and monitors physical systems in the real world — the bar for correctness and reliability is high. We work across a deeply cross-disciplinary domain (robotics, ML, experimental automation), and one near-term priority involves hybrid cloud/on-prem deployments in customer environments. Engineers who've navigated those constraints will hit the ground running. Work Arrangement This role is based in our New York City lab, and we are in person 5 days per week.  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 Company-wide end-of-year shutdown, including two weeks of paid time off 401K  Equity Disclosure Radical AI is committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
