The opportunity
AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.
What you'll do
Co-host developer meetups with partners in our ecosystem. Find the right: speakers, build the relationships, and run the events together. Prior examples: High Performance Inference for Open LLMs , Voice AI Builders Night , RL with Modal and Prime Intellect , FDE Happy Hour .
Sponsor hackathons that attract highly technical engineers and researchers in: ML and AI Infra. For example: Autoresearch Hackathon with OpenAI , TreeHacks, HackIllinois.
Own and grow the webinar program: Partner with Modal engineers and FDEs to identify topics, speakers, promotion, and turning attendance into funnel growth.
Run creative events that break the standard. For example: eBPF documentary screening , Modal Art Show with Gray Area, etc.
Help community members run their own Modal events. Build the playbooks,: templates, and support that let other people host meetups under the Modal banner, so events scale past what one person can run.
Turn events into content and campaigns. Work with Marketing so every event: produces recaps, clips, talks, and stories that reach people who weren't in the room.
What they're looking for
- Own events end to end: venues, partners, speakers, logistics, promotion, day-of, and follow-up.
- Track what's working: attendance, downstream signups and adoption and users within target accounts. Do more of what pulls and cut what doesn't.
- A track record running events or building community. You've organized: meetups, conferences, hackathons, or similar, and can point to specific ones that worked.
- Plugged into the SF AI and developer scene, or able to get there fast. You: know which companies, projects, and people are worth partnering with — and which trends and movements are worth jumping on, inside and outside of tech (e.g. agents, mahjong, board game nights).
