Member of Technical Staff - 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.

The Role:

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.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code

• Experience building high-performance distributed systems at a large scale (the more battle scars, the better)

• Strong cloud skills

• Strong knowledge of low-level operating system foundations (Linux kernel, file systems, containers, etc.)

• Experience with performance engineering (tell us a story of when you shaved off a few milliseconds!)

• Ability to work in-person in our NYC or Stockholm office.
