The opportunity

AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.

What you'll do

  • + years of experience writing high-quality, high-performance code.

  • Experience working with torch, high-level ML frameworks, and inference engines (vLLM or TensorRT).

  • Familiarity with Nvidia GPU architecture and CUDA.

  • Experience with ML performance engineering (tell us a story about boosting: GPU performance — debugging SM occupancy issues, rewriting an algorithm to be compute-bound, eliminating host overhead, etc).

  • Nice-to-have: familiarity with low-level operating system foundations (Linux kernel, file systems, containers, etc).
