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. We have thousands of customers who rely on us for production AI workloads, including Lovable, Scale AI, Substack, and Suno.
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. Our investors include Lux Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Amplify Partners, and Elad Gil
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.
Modal builds infrastructure that lets engineers run AI workloads without the usual pain. To do this well, we need exceptional people - and a hiring experience that reflects the care and rigor we bring to everything else.
As our first Talent Coordinator, you’ll be a foundational partner on the Talent team. You’ll help shape how hiring actually works day-to-day: owning interview coordination, candidate communication, and the operational backbone that allows recruiters and hiring managers to do their best work.
This role carries real trust and visibility. You’ll work closely with the Head of Talent, recruiters, interviewers, and candidates, and you’ll have meaningful input into how our hiring process evolves as we scale.
What you’ll do:
Champion a thoughtful, respectful, and high-quality candidate experience at every stage of the interview process
Coordinate and schedule phone, video, and in-person interviews across multiple roles and time zones, often with complex calendars
Serve as a primary point of contact and host for candidates, ensuring they feel informed, supported, and well-prepared
Maintain accuracy and integrity in our ATS (Ashby), including job setup, interview plans, and candidate tracking from first touch through offer
Develop deep fluency in Ashby and act as a trusted resource for recruiters and hiring partners
Ensure interviewers are well-prepared with the proper context, materials, and logistics to run effective interviews
Spot friction or inefficiencies in the hiring process and proactively suggest improvements
Partner with the talent team on recruiting initiatives such as referrals, interview training, and process iteration
Bring an equity and fairness lens to hiring operations, supporting consistent, well-calibrated interview experiences
You bring strong operational discipline and notice the details others miss
You’re resourceful by default - when something’s unclear, you figure it out
You’re comfortable taking initiative and making progress even when the path isn’t perfectly defined
You’re thoughtful about candidate experience and notice the small things that make interviews feel human
You value timely, thoughtful follow-up and understand how much clarity and responsiveness matter to candidates
You communicate with clarity and intention, even when things move quickly.
You show up as a reliable teammate who helps others succeed
You’re curious, reflective, and always looking for ways to improve how things run
