About Modular At Modular, we’re on a mission to revolutionize AI infrastructure by systematically rebuilding the AI software stack from the ground up. Our team, made up of industry leaders and experts, is building cutting-edge, modular infrastructure that simplifies AI development and deployment. By rethinking the complexities of AI systems, we’re empowering everyone to unlock AI’s full potential and tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
If you’re passionate about shaping the future of AI and creating tools that make a real difference in people’s lives, we want you on our team. You can read about our culture and careers to understand how we work and what we value.
About The Role ML developers today face significant friction in taking trained models into deployment. They work in a highly fragmented space, with incomplete and patchwork solutions that require significant performance tuning and non-generalizable, model-specific enhancements. At Modular, we are building the Modular platform: a next generation AI platform that will radically improve the way developers build and deploy AI models.
We're continuously working to improve the performance and scalability of the Modular platform through advanced systems programming and distributed architectures. As a GenAI Systems Engineer, you'll architect flexible, robust, and scalable frameworks, supporting advanced inference optimizations like Disaggregated Inference, Speculative Decoding, and Distributed KV Caching.
LOCATION: Candidates based in the US or Canada are welcome to apply. To support growth and collaboration, those in earlier career stages work in a hybrid capacity at our Los Altos, CA office (minimum 2 days per week on-site) with relocation assistance provided for out-of-state candidates. Onboarding for new hires is conducted in-person in our Los Altos, CA office.
