About Us:

Modal is building the serverless compute platform to support the next generation of AI companies. We have deeply technical roots and have built up a significant amount of proprietary infrastructure—including our own custom file system, container runtime, scheduler, container image builder, and more—to craft a world-class developer product.

We're a small team based out of New York, Stockholm and San Francisco. In just one year, we've reached 8-figure revenue, tripled our headcount, scaled to support thousands of GPUs, and raised over $32M in funding.

Working at Modal means joining one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure organizations at an early stage, with many opportunities to grow within the company. 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’re looking for a field marketing manager to join the team. This person will be embedded in our growth team and be the first hire to own the end-to-end strategy and execution of our field marketing channel. You'll work closely with product marketing, developer relations, and sales to create thoughtful in-person touchpoints with our developer audience.

In this role, you will:

  • Generate creative new ideas for events big and small, from small dinners to community happy hours to massive conferences.

  • Stay in tune with our target audience and adapt to their interests over time.

  • Work with marketing and sales to identify the right profiles and segments to create events for.

  • Own the promotion and coordination for these events to ensure they are effective.

  • Become a trusted representative and messenger of Modal's product, value, and brand.

  • Set the right objectives and measure outcomes for every in-person engagement we invest in.

  • Help with event management for internal events when needed.

Requirements:

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has 3+ years experience working at a tech company in a marketing or marketing-adjacent function.

  • Is excited about getting embedded in the AI developer community (or is a part of it already)!

  • Is energetic, social, and understands the importance of building relationships in person.

  • Is extremely detail-oriented and organized.

  • Is excited about working in-person in SF 75% of the time and traveling for events the other 25% of the time.
