About Us:

AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.

Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now.

Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable, Ramp, Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale.

We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September.

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 frontend engineers who love building complex and gorgeous products, and have a high degree of customer empathy, product sense and ownership.

Requirements:

• Experience building and shipping modern web applications end-to-end. We care more about what you’ve built than how many years you’ve been building.

• Experience building applications with a modern front-end Javascript framework such as React. Prior experience in Svelte is nice to have, but not required.

• Ability to build pixel-perfect components and polished interactions.

• Strong product sense and experience driving product outcomes.

• Strong communication skills and a desire to partner with our customers in solving their problems.

• Ability to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production incidents.

• Ability to partner closely with product design to craft delightful user experiences.

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