The Role
We are seeking an AI Product Engineer with a passion for building AI-native applications,
designing and shipping tools from 0→1, and turning ideas into production-ready systems.
This is a unique opportunity to join Radical and own high-impact projects end-to-end.
While this role spans the full stack, there is a particular emphasis on building robust backend
systems, data infrastructure, and the engineering foundations that power AI-native products.
You will design and deploy tools that:
- Provide insights into portfolio and market dynamics
- Enhance sourcing, diligence, and investment decision-making
- Automate workflows and create intelligent systems that improve operational leverage
This role is ideal for an entrepreneurial engineer, who thrives in fast-paced environments,
and enjoys designing, building, and shipping AI-native products end-to-end. You'll be equally
comfortable building polished user experiences and designing scalable backend systems,
data infrastructure, and AI-powered services.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications end-to-end to support investment
workflows and internal operations
- Prototype and refine tools leveraging LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face,
LangChain)
