About the role
- 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're hiring a Community Manager in SF to make Modal a fixture in the AI developer community.
Responsibilities
- Co-host developer meetups with partners in our ecosystem. Find the right speakers, build the relationships, and run the events together.
- You'll bring developers together through meetups, hackathons, and events of our own, and build the kind of community that keeps showing up.
- 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.
- venues, partners, speakers, logistics, promotion, day-of, and follow-up.
- Find the right speakers, build the relationships, and run the events together.
- Own and grow the webinar program: Partner with Modal engineers and FDEs to identify topics, speakers, promotion, and turning attendance into funnel growth.
- Own events end to end: venues, partners, speakers, logistics, promotion, day-of, and follow-up.
Requirements
- 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).
- Not every event or sponsorship is worth the time, and you can tell the difference.
- You know how to rinse and repeat the process, but always with a creative bend.
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.
- Familiarity with Modal or the AI infrastructure space.
Skills
- Modal is the cloud platform built for AI.
Company info
- 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 https://modal.com/blog/lovable-case-study, Ramp https://modal.com/blog/how-ramp-built-a-full-context-background-coding-agent-on-modal, 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.
- We recently raised a $355M Series C https://modal.com/blog/modal-series-c at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September.
