What you expect from the interview
Modular has a straight-forward interview process and a large majority of the roles follow the same steps:
Step 01
Application Review
The first step of the process is to submit your resume. We aim to review all resumes within 2 weeks and we respond to every single application made.
Step 02
Call with Recruiting
Typically you will first have a short 20-30min call with recruiting to just go over some basic information about you and the company, and to discuss next steps.
Step 03
Call with Hiring Manager
The Hiring Manager will dig a bit deeper into your background and previous experience to determine mutual fit. This will also be your opportunity to learn more about what the team is working on and what the role entails. In case you have applied for more than one role on different teams, we often schedule you for two separate calls with two separate Hiring Managers.
Step 04
Team Interviews
There are typically 4 team interviews, usually 45-60 minutes each. These may be scheduled all at once or separately, depending on the role. The focus areas for these team interviews vary by role. For example, for Engineering roles, you can expect coding and system design type interviews; for Product roles, we often talk about the industry and product strategy. For Leadership roles, we may ask for a presentation.
We believe that team culture is a critical part of a great company, so every candidate also has a Culture interview that focuses on communication skills, team work, and so on. We will let you know what to expect in each interview when we send you a schedule confirmation.
Step 05
Offer
If we make you an offer, we share an extensive offer deck for you and schedule a walk-through call to go over the information in detail and again answer any final questions you may have. We also aim to give you enough time to make a decision after that.
Why should you be excited about Modular?
Working at Modular is exciting because it's a chance to build cutting-edge deep learning infrastructure from silicon to system. Every day is an opportunity to gain full-stack mastery in how the AI software/hardware stack works, from distributed computation graphs to low-level GPU kernel programming.
Brendan Duke
Staff Engineer
I joined Modular because I was looking for ways to overcome the software fragmentation of AI frameworks and resonate with Modular's goal to build a better unified framework using compiler approach. My favorite part at Modular is to work with the best engineers in the field under a very collaborative culture.

Typically all of our interviews are conducted over Zoom video. For coding interviews, we use Coderpad and you will receive a link from your interviewer. In some cases we may fly you in to meet some of our leaders for the last interview.
What do you look for in a candidate?
There is no “one size fits all” answer here however Modulers are passionate about their work, intellectually curious, humble, and ready to roll up their sleeves. We like to have discussions in interviews and expect you to ask clarifying questions and talk us through your thought process — sometimes there is no right or wrong answer, we just want to understand how you think and work through challenging problems. We also look for strong alignment with Modular’s Culture and values.
I don’t meet all of the requirements for a role, can I still be considered?
We would love to receive your application even if it doesn’t meet all criteria! We review applications with all roles and opportunities in mind.
