Staff Product Designer

About Us:

Modal is building the serverless compute platform to support the next generation of AI companies. In order to deliver the developer experience we wanted, we went deep and built our own infrastructure—including our own custom file system, container runtime, scheduler, container image builder, and much more.

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.

About Modal Design

We're hiring our second designer to join Modal as we build the future of serverless computing. You'll have significant impact on our product experience, brand, and design culture.

We focus on creating observability tools that help developers understand how their apps are running. Your scope will include our core product, marketing website, and various creative initiatives.

The Role

You'll work with our Product Engineering team and designer on our observability dashboard, marketing website, and projects like the GPU Glossary. Your work will directly impact how developers use and understand Modal applications.

What You'll Do

  • Design interfaces that make Modal the best serverless experience for developers

  • Work with engineering and go-to-market teams on product strategy and roadmapping

  • Help build our design team and processes as we scale beyond Series A

  • Create systems that balance technical depth with usability

What You Should Have

  • Experience in product design teams that have shipped software

  • Strong portfolio showing your skills in typography, interaction design, visual design, and product thinking

  • Experience working in fast-paced engineering environments

  • Clear communication skills to explain design decisions and gather feedback

Nice to Have

  • Technical background or experience with developer tools

  • Previous work on observability platforms

  • Experience designing for technical users

  • Knowledge of serverless architectures
