Yes, Modal is hiring, and it posts a pay range on nearly every open role. Modal runs cloud infrastructure for AI: companies use it to serve models, run sandboxes for coding agents and train or fine-tune models on GPUs. On 14 October 2026 it announced a $750 million Series D led by Accel at a $15.75 billion post-money valuation, with Kleiner Perkins joining and its existing investors taking part. In the same post Modal said it has passed $1 billion in annualized run rate and that its team is over 200 people across New York, San Francisco and Stockholm.

Engineering is most of the hiring, much of it as “Member of Technical Staff” roles on inference, storage, systems and the SDK, mostly in New York and San Francisco with a group in Stockholm. Modal posts its Stockholm ranges in US dollars, as shown below. A few sales and account roles give a single figure rather than a range, which we show as written.

How we built this page

We read Modal's public job board on 27 October 2026 and counted every open role. Pay figures are the ranges Modal publishes in its own ads (many US states require employers to post them), shown as written: we never estimate a role's pay. Most ranges are base pay; where an ad says its range is on-target earnings (base plus commission), we mark it OTE and leave it out of the base pay figures. Where an ad gives different ranges by location, or one range per job level, we show the lowest to the highest. Equity, bonuses and benefits come on top where offered. Roles change daily, so check the careers page before applying. We refresh this page regularly while Modal is hiring; national figures come from the same official sources as our salary pages.
