El Segundo, CA, USA
Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world’s first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors. The company’s first reactor, Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt, fail-safe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to 5 years without refueling. Portable nuclear power with rapid-deploy capability can replace similar-sized diesel generators and provide critical asset support for hospitals, data centers, remote sites, and military bases. Radiant’s unique, practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe, factory-built microreactors that use existing, well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020, Radiant is on track to test its first reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory this summer, with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.
About the Role

This is a high-visibility, largely individual-contributor-to-start role reporting to the VP of Finance with the mandate to scale into a broader structured finance function as our capital program grows.
What You'll Own

Structure contracting to ensure credit eligibility and rate terms ahead of phase-downs or rule changes, working proactively against deadlines.
Build documentation infrastructure needed to withstand IRS, lender, and tax equity diligence and keep it audit-ready on an ongoing basis.
Own recurring reporting obligations tied to the credit (Treasury/IRS filings, transferability registration, and investor/lender reporting) ensuring nothing is missed as Radiant scales.
Monitor recapture risk across each asset's required compliance period following placed-in-service, flagging any operational or ownership changes.
Coordinate with EPC/construction contractors, third-party auditors, Legal and Accounting so compliance obligations are built into contracts up front and monitored continuously.

Lead or support negotiations and deal executions with lenders and other financial partners.
Lead tracking and internal/investor reporting related to structured financial products.

Support liability structuring across Radiant's multi-entity architecture in coordination with Legal, Accounting, and the Risk & Compliance function.
Advise on the financial implications of government contracting structures as they relate to capital deployment and financing.
Required Qualifications & Skills:
8+ years of experience in structured finance, project finance, tax equity, or a related capital markets discipline; experience in manufacturing, energy, or capital-intensive infrastructure sectors strongly preferred.
Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field; MBA or relevant advanced degree a plus.
