About the Role

About Us:

Modal provides the infrastructure foundation for AI teams. With instant GPU access, sub-second container startups, and native storage, Modal makes it simple to train models, run batch jobs, and serve low-latency inference. 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 at a $1.1B valuation. Our investors include Lux Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Amplify Partners, and Elad Gil.

Working at Modal means joining one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure organizations at an early stage, with many opportunities to grow within the company. 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:

From powering one of the largest vibe-coding platforms at Lovable to enabling teams like Ramp to build their own internal coding agents, Modal Sandboxes are used by developers to safely execute AI-generated code at scale.

We're now hiring our first developer relations engineer focused on Modal Sandboxes. Whether it’s banger tweets, in-depth technical resources or long-form talks, we want to meet developers by any medium necessary and empower them to build and ship novel AI products.

In this role, you will primarily be creating and distributing 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 be a trusted resource for them when it comes to implementing new AI technologies.
