Summary from the posting
Modal’s Inference Runtime team owns the container runtime stack used to run inference and training workloads across our fleet. We work at the boundary of Linux, containers, filesystems, storage, GPU drivers, and distributed systems.Our goal is to make demanding ML workloads start quickly, run efficiently, and remain securely isolated , whether they use a single GPU, hundreds of gigabytes of memory, or multiple GPUs connected with RDMA.We’re looking for a systems engineer who enjoys working deep in the stack. You’ll build production runtime infrastructure in Rust and Go, diagnose difficult Linux and performance problems, and help determine the architecture of Modal’s container platform.
