We are owners and advocates for the underlying technologies, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure. These essential building blocks form the high-quality and coherent experiences our users expect. We aim to drive the pace of innovation for every AI/ML developer.

About the role:

The Performance Infrastructure Team is responsible for obtaining and understanding model and kernel (and more!) performance at Modular. We ensure that all performance experiments and comparisons at Modular are transparent, reproducible, and fair.

We are looking for candidates based on their depth of experience in roles such as dev ops, SRE, or (cloud) infrastructure engineering. The goal is to bring together diverse, collaborative teams for intensive project work. Candidates must be interested in building tools to help developers understand both the what and the why of performance, and architecting and maintaining the systems that power those tools.

We are a growing team who collaborate across disciplines on a day to day basis. A strong cross-collaborator is a must. Come and be part of our team and architect our performance infrastructure at Modular. Join our world-leading AI infrastructure team and help drive our AI infrastructure stack forward.

  • Collaborate with open-source engineers to help facilitate the future of ML software stacks.
  • Develop highly reliable and scalable benchmark systems across diverse OS and hardware targets.

What you bring to the table:

  • 7+ years of experience developing and operating large-scale cloud platforms, services and infrastructure across at least one major cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience with implementing Infrastructure as Code and GitOps solutions (Terraform, Pulumi, Flux, Argo, etc.).
  • Experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with at least one programming language (Go, Python, etc.).
  • Experience cloud and application security best practices.
  • Experience using open source software components in production.
  • Devotion to quality and engineering excellence.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strongly identifies with our core company cultural values.

  • LLVM, MLIR, or Python experience is a bonus.
  • Experience with working on or contributing to a major machine learning framework such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and/or ONNX/ONNXRuntime is a bonus.
  • Experience managing systems using major cloud platforms, including AWS and/or GCP.

The estimated base salary range for this role to be performed in the US, regardless of the state, is $166,500.00 - $286,000.00 USD. 

Th
e salary for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of permissible, non-discriminatory job-related factors, which include but are not limited to education, training, work experience, business needs, or market demands. This range may be modified in the future. The total compensation for a candidate will also include annual target bonus, equity, and benefits, with equity making up a significant portion of your total compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
