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.\r\nAbout The Role\r\nML 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-generalisable, model-specific enhancements. At Modular, we are building the next generation AI platform that will radically improve the way developers build and deploy AI models.\r\nAs part of our mission to build AI's unified compute layer, we are expanding the Modular software stack to a variety of new and exciting hardware platforms.\r\nWe are looking for a motivated engineer to join the Hardware Enablement team at Modular. In this role you will work across the Modular software stack — from Mojo kernels and the graph compiler to MAX model serving — to bring up and optimise support for new accelerator platforms. You'll collaborate closely with internal teams and external hardware partners, and you'll develop deep expertise in novel architectures while contributing to our portability story.\r\nLocation\r\nWe welcome candidates who are based in and have work authority in the United Kingdom , Norway , or the United States ( Eastern Time Zone ). To support growth and collaboration, those in earlier career stages will work in a hybrid capacity at our Edinburgh, UK or Boston, MA office (minimum 2 days per week on-site).
