Founding Product & Engineering Lead - Radiance

Headquarters: Remote

Meet Radiance

The Source® of all your creative collateral.

Radiance is a digital design agency powered by The SOURCE®, a proprietary Creative OS that aligns every asset, message, and moment into one adaptive brand system.

We combine human-crafted design with intelligent systems to help modern brands operate with clarity, speed, and cohesion. Every engagement we deliver is not just creative output, but infrastructure: systems that scale as our clients grow.

At the center is The SOURCE®, a platform blending design, AI, and automation into a single evolving system for brand truth, execution, and growth.

We are backed by Infinity Constellation, the first AI holding company, and are building something category-defining at the intersection of brand, systems, and intelligence.

Why This Role Exists

Radiance is moving from services-first → platform-powered.

We are looking for a Founding Product & Engineering Lead to help architect, build, and evolve The SOURCE® from a powerful internal system into a scalable platform that supports both our agency workflows and future SaaS expansion.

This is not a “ticket-taking” role.

This is a foundational builder role for someone who wants to shape the product, the architecture, and the technical philosophy from the ground up.

You’ll work directly with the founder to translate creative workflows, brand logic, and operational complexity into elegant systems that compound over time.

What You’ll Do

Platform & Product Architecture-

Design and own the technical architecture of The SOURCE®

Translate creative, brand, and agency workflows into scalable systems

Build a platform that supports services today and SaaS tomorrow

Make pragmatic decisions about build vs buy vs automate

Execution & Systems-

Ship fast, iterate often, and prioritize leverage over perfection

Build internal tools that reduce scope creep and operational drag

Integrate AI, automation, and workflow tooling where it actually adds value

Establish technical standards, documentation, and patterns early

Partnership & Leadership-

Act as a thought partner to the founder on product vision and sequencing

Help define what Radiance should and should not build

Lay the groundwork for future engineering hires and contributors

Own outcomes, not just code

What You Bring-

6–12+ years experience in engineering, product, or technical architecture roles

Experience building platforms or internal systems from zero to v1 (or beyond)

Strong product intuition: you think in systems, not features

Comfort working in ambiguity with evolving requirements

Pragmatic, opinionated, and execution-focused

Experience with modern web stacks, APIs, automation, and AI tooling

Integrate tools via APIs (Stripe, Jira, Webflow, CMSs, CRMs)

Use automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, Temporal, etc.)

Design async workflows (approvals, handoffs, notifications)

Build internal dashboards and admin tools

4. AI / LLM Practical Implementation-

Prompt engineering for structured outputs

Embedding LLMs into workflows

Using vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Supabase, etc.)
