Software Engineer - Systems

About Us:

At Modal, we build foundational technology, including an optimized container runtime, a GPU-aware scheduler, and a distributed file system.

We’re a small team based out of New York and Stockholm and have raised over $23M. 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.

We are looking for strong engineers with experience and interest in designing, building, and maintaining the novel, high-performance systems that make up our serverless platform.
