Desirable

• Radiant is seeking a hands-on Software Engineering Leader for Infrastructure to build and lead a team that scales our software infrastructure, developer tooling, and data processing capabilities that power our engineering organization in simulation, Multiphysics modeling, high-performance computing, and scientific computing
• In this role, you will establish a platform function that serves as the backbone for Radiant's engineering organization—enabling faster iteration on reactor designs, sophisticated Digital Twin simulation and visualization, and data-driven analysis across the company
• You will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment to build products that accelerate our path to deploying the world's first mass-produced nuclear reactor
• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing team of software engineers focused on compute infrastructure, platform, scientific tooling, software tooling, CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and data processing systems
• Partner with engineering leaders across software, simulation, electrical, mechanical, and nuclear disciplines to identify infrastructure and tooling needs
• Build our HPC infrastructure, environment and tooling necessary to maintain high-quality standards and detect issues in real time across engineering systems
• Own the technical roadmap for internal developer tooling: CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, artifact management, build systems, developer, scientific computing environments, testing frameworks, and release processes
• Architect and maintain platforms that provide real-time monitoring, Digital Twin visualizations, and analysis tools for Kaleidos reactor systems
• Scale data processing infrastructure to support increasingly sophisticated simulation post-processing, visualization, and analysis workflows
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence through strong technical practices, automation, and continuous improvement
• Recruit and develop top engineering talent while building a high-performance team culture that enables organizational velocity
