The opportunity

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

What you'll do

  • 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.

  • Comfort working across the stack: TypeScript on the frontend, Python services on the backend, and ClickHouse for data and analytics.

  • Deep knowledge of observability tools and patterns used for large-scale: workloads such as custom sandboxes, training and inference for large language (LLM) and diffusion models.

  • Experience with at least one of: billing/payments systems, B2B SaaS tooling, or enterprise software, or LLM / diffusion models inference and training loads.

  • Strong product instincts; you think about customer problems, not just tickets.

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

What they're looking for

  • Ability to make good tradeoffs between shipping fast and building for scale.
  • Ability to work in-person in our NYC or SF office.
