We hire strong managers first, then agree your team with you based on your strengths and interests.\nYou'll combine people leadership, technical judgement, delivery ownership, and cross-functional collaboration, working closely with product, infrastructure, SRE, security, and other engineering teams. Each team has around nine engineers: principal, senior and mid-level software engineers, an SDET, a DevOps engineer, and a platform engineer.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role focused on building strong teams, delivering reliable platform capabilities, and creating an environment where engineers do their best work. Your first team is a starting point, and moves between teams are normal here.\nThe teams\nNetwork: the software behind our cluster fabrics and Managed Networks\n\nObservability: FlightDeck, our platform for observing and operating AI infrastructure\n\nMLOps Training: the platform customers use to train models on our GPU clusters, including Managed Kubernetes and Managed Slurm\n\nKey Responsibilities\nLead, coach, and develop a team of around nine engineers across software, platform, DevOps, and test.\n\nOwn delivery end to end: planning, prioritisation, quality, and operational readiness.\n\nPartner with Product to turn priorities into clear technical plans and achievable milestones.\n\nProvide technical leadership on architecture, reliability, scalability, and engineering trade-offs.\n\nSet strong engineering practices for design, testing, observability, documentation, and incident learning.\n\nHire, onboard, and retain high-performing engineers. Hiring is a large part of the first year: expect around two hours a day on it.\n\nSupport career development through regular feedback, coaching, and progression planning.\n\nBring AI-assisted engineering into daily work, within our guardrails.\n\nYour Profile\nExperience leading engineering teams building cloud platforms, infrastructure, developer tooling, or distributed systems.\n\nProven experience in people management, hiring, coaching, and performance development.\n\nA strong technical background: you engage credibly in architecture and design discussions.\n\nA good understanding of:\n\nCloud infrastructure: compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, containers\n\nPlatform engineering: APIs, automation, IAM, observability, reliability\n\nDistributed systems: scaling, consistency, failure handling\n\nEngineering operations: incident response, capacity, performance, production ownership\n\nStrong delivery and prioritisation skills across competing priorities.\n\nComfortable working closely with product and other engineering leaders in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.\n\nExperience with GPU, HPC, or AI infrastructure is a bonus. Nobody has depth in every area above: tell us which you know and which you want to learn.\n\nWhat You Bring\nPeople leadership: Build strong teams and help engineers grow.\n\nTechnical judgement: Challenge designs and guide trade-offs without owning every implementation detail.\n\nExecution: Create clarity and drive complex work to completion.\n\nSystems thinking: Understand how platform components and teams fit together.\n\nOperational mindset: Care about reliability, maintainability, and production quality.\n\nOwnership: Take responsibility for both team health and engineering outcomes.\n\nCuriosity: Learn new domains fast. GPUs, networks, and storage excite you rather than worry you.\n\nBuilder mindset: Much here is not built yet, and you enjoy creating the process, not just running it.\n\nQualities we look for:\nSet the standard: Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up\n\nInspire the change: There's no blueprint for the future. You'll embrace challenges and change\n\nYou're real and you're true to yourself: We cherish and celebrate diversity so you'll feel right at home whoever you are and whoever you're talking to, you treat everyone the same.\n\nWhy should you join us?\nWhat sets us apart is our blend of modern technology, competitive benefits, and an open, welcoming work culture that enables our people to thrive.\nHere are just some of the great things you can expect from us:\n25 days of annual leave\n\nA culture that emphasises results over hierarchy, process & ego: we place great emphasis on the quality, ingenuity and creativity of work.\n\nOpen communication, regular feedback: we value smooth collaboration, direct and actionable feedback, and believe that leading with empathy and a growth mindset makes us better together.\n\nLearning Time: we all have dedicated learning time to focus on new skills, projects or interests that lay outside of your day-to-day job.\n\nHealth & Wellbeing: we want everyone to feel healthy and happy, so we offer private medical insurance via Bupa.\n\nCycle to Work Scheme: we're committed to building a sustainable business, so we encourage cycling to work.\n\nGympass subscription to a variety of gyms and wellbeing apps\n\nParticipation in the company shares program\n\nEnhanced parental pay & leave\n\nOur process: Talent screen → Hiring Manager → Technical interview (Principal Engineer and Engineering Lead) → Whiteboard Session → Final.\nCompany Overview:\nRadiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.\nWe design and operate AI-native cloud platforms engineered for sovereignty, performance, and scale. Our infrastructure powers GPU-native workloads, multi-tenant control planes, and high-performance AI systems designed for the most demanding environments.\nWe are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure - from powered land, to compute, to software.\nAs we scale, we're building this organisation from the ground up. We're looking for people who'd rather build the playbook than inherit one - who are comfortable doing the work themselves as well as directing others, and who can adapt as fast as our strategy does. This is a startup model: attitude and adaptability matter more to us than years of experience or the size of the team you've previously managed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6148,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["MLOps","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T22:19:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T01:43:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/radiant-engineering-manager-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/radiant-engineering-manager-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:43:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3966,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8822},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8822"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fradiant-engineering-manager-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fradiant-engineering-manager-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fradiant-engineering-manager-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/radiant-engineering-manager-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fradiant-engineering-manager-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3988038}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"radiant.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3988038},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
