Engineering Manager

What You'll Do

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team building and operating a core part of Radiant's AI cloud, joining one of three teams: Network, Observability, or MLOps Training. We hire strong managers first, then agree your team with you based on your strengths and interests.

You'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.

This 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.

The teams

• Network: the software behind our cluster fabrics and Managed Networks

• Observability: FlightDeck, our platform for observing and operating AI infrastructure

• MLOps Training: the platform customers use to train models on our GPU clusters, including Managed Kubernetes and Managed Slurm

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of around nine engineers across software, platform, DevOps, and test.

• Own delivery end to end: planning, prioritisation, quality, and operational readiness.

• Partner with Product to turn priorities into clear technical plans and achievable milestones.

• Provide technical leadership on architecture, reliability, scalability, and engineering trade-offs.

• Set strong engineering practices for design, testing, observability, documentation, and incident learning.

• Hire, onboard, and retain high-performing engineers. Hiring is a large part of the first year: expect around two hours a day on it.

• Support career development through regular feedback, coaching, and progression planning.

• Bring AI-assisted engineering into daily work, within our guardrails.
