Your Role

Software Engineer

What You Want

Make AI part of your toolbox

Want to incorporate sophisticated AI modules in your architecture? With Modulos, you can do that without having to worry about the details, such as selecting and tuning models. Rapidly train and deploy containerized AI solutions with a common API and keep your focus on delivering your overall product.

What We Offer

  • Fast and easy to use

Modulos gives you access to state-of-the-art machine learning technology. With a few clicks, you can search the space of AI models, from the latest results from research, to core models from well-known libraries.

  • Smooth integration

Dominic Stark

Dominic Stark

Data Scientist

Code quality correlates with food quality.

Dominic Stark studied physics at ETH Zürich. The transition of his career path to Data Science began when he was analyzing UV images of galaxies. Together with Kevin Schawinski an Ce Zhang, he worked on applying the latest advances of deep learning research to his problem. It turned out that the method itself was at least as interesting as the problem they designed it for. After publishing the results, his research project was about using Reinforcement Learning to develop novel ideas for data acquisition in astronomy. As a Data Scientist at Modulos, he keeps on solving problems, that require new ideas and technologies.

Kevin Schawinski

Kevin Schawinski

CEO / Co-Founder

Running a startup is super relaxing, right?

While a Ph.D student, he co-founded the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project involving more than a million members of the public in scientific research because machines weren’t quite good enough yet to go map the cosmos and classify galaxies. He stayed in Oxford as the Henry Skynner Junior Research fellow at Balliol College before moving to Yale as a NASA Einstein Fellow. In 2012, he started the galaxy and black hole research group at ETH Zurich as an assistant professor and began a close collaboration with Ce Zhang from computer science to work on the space.ml project. He is now the CEO of Modulos.

Ce Zhang

Ce Zhang

Co-Founder

Random is best.

He believes that by making data—along with the processing of data—easily accessible to non-computer scientists, we have the potential to make the world a better place. His current research focuses on building data systems to support machine learning and help facilitate other sciences. Before joining ETH, Ce was advised by Christopher Ré. He finished his PhD round-tripping between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford University, and spent another year as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford. His PhD work produced DeepDive, a trained data system for automatic knowledge-base construction. He participated in the research efforts that won the SIGMOD Best Paper Award (2014) and SIGMOD Research Highlight Award (2015), and was featured in special issues including the Science magazine (2017), the Communications of the ACM (2017), “Best of VLDB” (2015), and the Nature magazine (2015).

Florian Marty

Florian Marty

Sales Manager

Putting Science into the Art of Sales.

As a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Zurich, Florian Marty was, like most scientists, not a big fan of sales initially. But, over the years and with growing experience in different commercial roles, he learned that there is a lot of science in what makes good salespeople. Coupled with his open mindset to learn new things and a communicative personality, Florian is fascinated to explore and test new strategies, tactics, and expert moves in sales. As a Sales Manager, he will be joining the commercial team helping to grow the customer base and make Machine Learning accessible to everyone. Fun fact, as Florian has never written a single line of code in his life.

We believe he is the perfect fit to bring across the Modulos value proposition to our customers. Do not hesitate to reach out to Florian to engage in a discussion about Modulos AutoML.
