AI Technical Writer

Job Description

About the role:

Modular is building a next-generation AI infrastructure platform that provides unmatched inference speed, hardware flexibility, and model extensibility. It’s a ground-up re-thinking of how AI systems should be built and deployed, and the documentation is a critical part of our product experience. We’re looking for somebody with significant experience writing docs and example code for ML developers. On the spectrum between a pure writer and engineer, we want somebody with strong engineering skills. You must be comfortable writing code and troubleshooting new technologies, and also be excited to teach other people about those technologies.

LOCATION: Candidates based in the US or Canada are welcome to apply. You can work remotely from home.

What you will do:
• Experiment with new API libraries to build and deploy AI models, writing code examples yourself and/or collaborating with engineers to design examples for critical use cases.
• Collaborate with the product and engineering teams to define the user experience and identify issues that should be fixed or documented.
• Write developer guides, tutorials, concept guides, and other documentation for topics that use MAX APIs in multiple programming languages, including Python, C, and Mojo.
• Maintain existing code examples and documentation, including editing and revising documentation to ensure completeness, correctness, and clarity.
• Collaborate with other technical writers on large documentation sets, using a shared structure and style guide.

What you bring to the table:
• 2+ years experience writing code that uses machine learning products such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, Vertex AI, SageMaker, etc.
• 3+ years experience writing tutorials, blogs, API references, or other technical documents for software engineers.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts in simple language.
• Strong research and analytical skills, including the ability to gather and organize information from a variety of sources.
• A strong curiosity to learn through personal exploration and from our customers, team, and industry.

The estimated base salary range for this role to be performed in the US, regardless of the state, is $166,500.00 – $242,000.00 USD.
The salary for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of permissible, non-discriminatory job-related factors, which include but are not limited to education, training, work experience, business needs, or market demands. This range may be modified in the future. The total compensation for a candidate will also include annual target bonus, equity, and benefits, with equity making up a significant portion of your total compensation.

For candidates who fall outside of the listed requirements, we nevertheless encourage you to apply as we may have openings that are lower/higher level than the ones advertised.
