About Modal

Bring your own code, and run CPU, GPU, and data-intensive compute at scale. The serverless platform for AI and data teams. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and AI Grant.

About the role

As a staff-level Brand Designer, you will have major influence over every brand surface: the marketing website, campaigns, events, editorial projects like the GPU Glossary and forthcoming publications, and out-of-home work as we scale into larger formats. You'll also be a beacon to external agencies, representing Modal's internal creative voice and making sure the work translates into a system we can actually build on.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of brand design experience, building brands for technically complex products — developer tools, infrastructure, or AI. You know how to make something deeply technical feel compelling and clear
  • High influence, Low ego: You work well with others, share credit freely, and act as force for positivity within the brand team
  • A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional typography, color, composition, and a recognizable point of view
  • Experience designing brand systems that extend from identity to motion to web – the more the better
  • Ability to interpret and contribute to brand strategy
  • Someone who takes ownership seriously: you drive work to completion, raise the quality bar, and build structures that let others do the same
More about this role

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 , Ramp , 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 at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September.

Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.

Modal is building the future of serverless computing, and the brand that carries that story is still taking shape — You'll join Modal's newly formed Brand team...
