Job Description

About Us:

Modal provides the infrastructure foundation for AI teams. With instant GPU access, sub-second container startups, and native storage, Modal makes it simple to train models, run batch jobs, and serve low-latency inference. Companies like Suno, Lovable, and Substack rely on Modal to move from prototype to production without the burden of managing infrastructure.

We're a fast-growing team based out of NYC, SF, and Stockholm. We've hit 9-figure ARR and recently raised a Series B at a $1.1B valuation. We have thousands of customers who rely on us for production AI workloads, including Lovable, Scale AI, Substack, and Suno.

Working at Modal means joining one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure organizations at an early stage, with many opportunities to grow within the company. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g. Seaborn, Luigi), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.

The Role:

We’re looking for strong engineers with experience building developer tools that users love to work with. Our ideal candidate is someone with a demonstrated drive to build beautiful interfaces that enhance developer productivity.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience developing high-quality Python libraries with broad user-bases, ideally including some experience maintaining open-source software.

  • Knowledge of advanced Python features, especially async programming.

  • A strong product sense that manifests as a focus on developer ergonomics and productivity.

  • A high level of customer empathy, good communication skills, and an openness to working directly with our users to help solve their problems.

  • Ability to work in-person in our NYC or Stockholm office.

  • Any of the following would be a plus:

    • Familiarity with modern data / ML / AI tools and workflows

    • Experience with Typescript, Go, or Rust
