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 https://modal.com/blog/announcing-our-series-b at a $1.1B valuation. Our investors include Lux Capital https://www.luxcapital.com/, Redpoint Ventures https://www.redpoint.com/, Amplify Partners https://www.amplifypartners.com/, and Elad Gil https://eladgil.com/.

Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g. Seaborn https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn, Luigi https://github.com/spotify/luigi), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.
THE ROLE:
We are looking for strong engineers with experience and interest in designing, building, and maintaining the novel, high-performance systems that make up our serverless platform.
REQUIREMENTS:

- Experience with performance engineering (tell us a story of when you shaved off a few milliseconds!)
- Ability to work in-person in our Stockholm office.
