About the role

Modal is hiring a high-impact Solutions Architect to drive technical strategy across our most strategic enterprise accounts. You will operate as the executive technical counterpart to Enterprise Account Executives, leading complex evaluations, shaping infrastructure modernization roadmaps, and driving multi-product adoption across AI/ML workloads.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or enterprise-facing technical roles in infrastructure, cloud, or developer platforms
  • Demonstrated success driving complex enterprise sales cycles ($250K+ ACV, experience with $1M+ ARR accounts strongly preferred)
  • Experience working with large, sophisticated Bay Area technology companies or global enterprises
  • Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) including compute, networking, storage, and managed services
  • Strong architectural understanding of containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience designing distributed systems and production data platforms
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.
