We're looking for engineers with deep AI/ML and low-level systems experience who want to build the best technical support experience in the world. This isn't a traditional support role — it's an engineering role where you happen to be closest to our customers.
You'll split your time roughly 50/50 between working directly with customers and shipping fixes, features, and automation that improve Modal for everyone. When you help a customer debug a training run, you'll also fix the underlying issue in the platform. When you notice ten customers hitting the same friction point, you'll build the tooling or automation that eliminates it entirely.
This role is for people who solve problems, not people who answer tickets. The problems you encounter are deeply technical and arise from running some of the most demanding AI workloads in the world. You'll be a member of our engineering team, contributing production code alongside the engineers building the core platform. The difference is that your roadmap is shaped by what you learn at the frontier of customer experience. You will:
Ship code that matters. Fix bugs, build features, and create automation that improves the experience for every Modal user — not just the one who reported the issue.
Work directly with customers. Help developers and ML engineers debug, optimize, and architect their workloads across Slack, email, and calls.
Build scalable systems. Design tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows that make support efficient at scale — delighting customers at the most important moments.
Close the feedback loop. Translate patterns you see in the field into concrete improvements — docs fixes, API changes, or new feature proposals.
Contribute to open source and technical content. Write examples, build demos, and publish content that helps the broader community succeed on Modal.
Accomplished in key areas. You bring depth in either low-level infrastructure or ML/AI, and you're not lost in the other.
Low-level infrastructure experience. Operating systems, file systems, networking, performance profiling, cluster management and distributed systems.
AI/ML engineering experience. Training models, optimizing inference, working with GPUs, or building ML infrastructure.
Automation mindset. Your instinct when you see a manual process is to eliminate it and you have the engineering background to make that happen.
Clear communicator. Can explain a systems issue to a customer, write a crisp bug report, and draft documentation, all while collaborating internally to ship improvements.

Own and evolve Modal's marketing site, docs site, and technical web experiences as high-quality engineering systems, not static content.
Build bespoke interactive projects with engineers, turning deep technical work into useful web experiences for developers and agents.
Own Instrument all public-facing content, all the way from human-facing marketing pages to agent-targeted, self-improving documentation.
Improve internal publishing flows so more teams can ship quality content quickly while keeping the site maintainable.
Evidence of building and shipping modern web applications end-to-end. We care more about what you've built than years of experience.
Experience with agentic development flows where agents consume marketing content and docs to help developers build on Modal.
You can build polished, responsive web experiences without needing every detail specified.
Business-owner mindset with strong data intuition: you think about conversion, activation, developer trust, speed of launch, and quality of measurement and tradeoff inherent to each.
Excited about developer-facing AI infrastructure and building web experiences that feel credible to engineers.
Ability to work in-person in our NYC office.
Deep knowledge of SEO, AEO, structured content, or agentic discoverability.
Experience with marketing sites, docs sites, or product-led-growth surfaces at a dev tools / infra / AI company.
Familiarity with our stack: Svelte/SvelteKit, TypeScript, Tailwind, Vite, MDX/SVX content systems, headless CMS (Sanity), Playwright/Vitest.
Familiarity with our integrations: Segment, Snowflake, PostHog, Sentry, Algolia/DocSearch, Fillout, Pylon, Ashby.

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.

Modal is the cloud platform built for AI. We're used by the world's leading AI labs, startups, and researchers to run compute-intensive workloads: training runs, inference, sandboxed code execution, and more.
We need someone to own and grow our presence in academia and research. That means running our Modal for Academics program: sponsoring courses and labs with compute credits, building relationships with professors and researchers at top institutions, and making Modal the default choice when someone needs GPUs for their next paper.
The right person has lived in this world. You know how grant cycles work, how labs are structured, and how the conference publishing process actually runs. You've also shown you can operate beyond the lab, whether that's organizing events, building community, or working across institutional boundaries.
In this role, you will:
Own and operate the Modal for Academics program end-to-end: handling inbound inquiries, overseeing grant decisions, onboarding, and follow-through.
Identify and pursue sponsorship opportunities with university courses, ML research labs, and academic conferences, with a bias toward work that's likely to be widely read and cited.
Build relationships with professors and researchers at top universities.
Partner with leading AI research labs on compute grants and collaborative programs.
Track outcomes: which grants produced papers, citations, talks, or downstream Modal adoption.
Represent Modal at academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and others) and research-adjacent events.
Develop outreach templates, program documentation, and supporting content to scale inbound interest.
A PhD or research Master's from a strong program in ML/CS or with a large computational component. You know how grants work, how labs are structured, and how the conference process actually runs.
Evidence that you've operated beyond pure research: organizing a workshop, running a student group, working with a grants office, industry internships, or similar.
Strong written and verbal communication, including on technical matters. You'll be representing Modal to professors and researchers at top universities.
Good judgment about what's worth pursuing. Not every course sponsorship or lab partnership is equal.
Organized and self-directed. This role spans dozens of active relationships at any given time.
Comfortable working in-person in a fast-paced startup environment.
Nice to have:
Experience as a conference organizer, area chair, workshop chair, or reviewer at a major ML conference.
Existing relationships with professors and researchers at top universities.

We're hiring a Community Manager in SF to make Modal a fixture in the AI developer community. You'll bring developers together through meetups, hackathons, and events of our own, and build the kind of community that keeps showing up.
You know how to rinse and repeat the process, but always with a creative bend.
In this role, you will:
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.
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).
Strong written and verbal communication. You'll represent Modal to developers, partners, and speakers, sometimes on stage.
Good judgment about what's worth doing. Not every event or sponsorship is worth the time, and you can tell the difference.
Organized and self-directed. This role runs many events and partner relationships at once.
Comfortable working in person in SF in a fast-paced startup environment.
Nice to have:
Existing relationships across the SF AI ecosystem: companies, open-source projects, DevRel teams, other community organizers.
Experience in developer marketing or DevRel.
Experience building a community-led or ambassador program.
Familiarity with Modal or the AI infrastructure space.
