We believe that AI is a net positive force in the world. Our vision and mission are to help rebuild AI infrastructure to advance humanity and our environment. We will do whatever it takes to empower our customers, team, and company to benefit from that pursuit. You can read about our culture and careers here to understand how we work and what we value.
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:
Within the Software Development Life Cycle Team, we seek to understand and apply the capabilities that drive software delivery performance at Modular. We are heavily data driven and make use of the dora metrics to track progress as we run experiments to determine the impact of our team’s initiatives and investments.
We are looking for “T” shaped individuals to help accelerate the Software Development Life Cycle. We focus on compounding improvements of customer value delivery and exponential gains in velocity and quality. The goal is to bring together diverse, collaborative teams for intensive project work. We are looking for candidates based on both their breadth and depth of experience.
The vertical stroke of the “T” is a depth of skill that allows candidates to contribute to the creative process. That can be from any number of different specialities: software engineering, IAAS and PAAS, test, build, compiler, kernel, hardware, machine learning and more.
The horizontal stroke of the “T” is the disposition for collaboration across disciplines. It is composed of two things. First, empathy. It’s important because it allows people to imagine the problem from another perspective – to stand in somebody else’s shoes. Second, ideal candidates tend to get very enthusiastic about other people’s disciplines, to the point that they may actually start to practice them. T-shaped people have both depth and breadth in their skills.
