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. Companies like Suno, Lovable, and Substack rely on Modal to move from prototype to production without the burden of managing infrastructure.
We're a fast-growing team based out of NYC, SF, and Stockholm. We've hit high 8-figure ARR and recently raised a Series B at a $1.1B valuation. We have thousands of customers who rely on us for production AI workloads, including Lovable, Scale AI, Substack, and Suno.
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:We’re looking for our first community and events lead. In-person developer events have historically been a very effective channel for Modal. As a company, we invest heavily in creating content that is highly technical and practical for our audience. In-person events have been a meaningful way for us to bring AI builders together and educate the community about the latest best practices in productionizing AI. You can check out some of our past events here: https://luma.com/modal-labs.

Generate creative new ideas for events big and small, from small leadership dinners to community happy hours to massive conferences.
Identify, prioritize, and build relationships with potential event partners in the Bay Area AI ecosystem, whether that's model builders, open-source framework contributors, or investors.
Work with marketing and sales to identify the right profiles and segments to create events for.
Own the promotion, invite sourcing, and on-the-ground coordination for these events to ensure they are effective.
Become a trusted representative and messenger of Modal's product, value, and brand.
Set the right GTM objectives and measure outcomes for every in-person engagement we invest in.
