Full job description

Description

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 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've passed $1B in annualized run rate, up 15x from a year ago. In October 2026 we raised a $750M Series D led by Accel at a $15.75B valuation.

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

Modal builds AI infrastructure products that developers love. That’s how we grew so quickly, and why word of mouth remains one of our most important channels today.

In this role, you will primarily create and distribute technical content that is unique, educational, and practical. This content will be the first Modal touchpoint for many of our users. We want to not only showcase the power and developer experience of Modal, but also serve as a trusted resource for them when implementing new AI technologies.

What You’ll Work On

  • Distill the latest advancements in AI technology and educate developers on how to incorporate them

  • Give demos and talks about Modal and adjacent tools at developer events

  • Engage with users in our community, both online (X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Slack) and at in-person events

  • Build relationships, integrations, and joint marketing activities with other developer-focused companies

  • Set objectives that are aligned with the greater GTM team and track the impact of the initiatives you work on

You May Be a Fit If

  • You have 3+ years of experience as a software engineer

  • You’re energized by the AI developer community and want to help developers adopt new technologies

  • You love teaching

  • You have excellent technical communication skills

  • You’re metrics-driven and take quantitative approaches to prioritizing initiatives

  • You’re excited about working in person in our NYC, SF, or Stockholm office

Requirements

Nice-to-Have

  • A willingness to think outside the box when it comes to compelling technical content

  • An existing developer following on social media
