Modal | Software Engineers (Product, System, SDK) | SF, NYC (ONSITE) | Full Time | modal.com

Modal builds the serverless cloud used by many of the most popular AI companies you've heard of. People use Modal for inference, training, batch operations and also, sandboxes. A good example is the Ramp Inspect tool, that was built on Modal sandboxes. https://engineering.ramp.com/post/why-we-built-our-backgroun... — We also recently passed over a billion sandboxes created and on our way to 2B soon.

I am one of the hiring managers here, hiring for the Product Engineering team that builds the observability tooling for our developers. Modal is the cloud for many of our customers and we help them reason about what's happening in their systems, help them expand their use and generally have a good experience.

If you are interested in a product engineering role, please feel free to reach out directly via email at [email protected] with a recent resume. This role is NYC or SF based and is on-site, so please mention your current location to be considered. I am especially looking for folks with deep ClickHouse, Postgres, Redis, and Python experience.

Please mention how you have used Modal or similar tools in the past and link to a recent resume. Resumes and emails that are clearly human-written will go to the front of the line. I wrote this by hand, so can you. Or can you?

I have to agree — in general, most people have a good sense of what's urgent or not and with a few kind nudges, they align quickly.

Astro is a JS framework for building websites. It’s dynamic enough for my needs but generates static sites.

I’ve built a custom visualization tool for the graphics.

Yeah this is something I want to learn more about for sure and is the weakest part of this piece. What have you found that works for you? Or is just that knowing that you’ll get interrupted will force better discipline?

Definitely agree with your assessment. That’s the feeling I wanted to convey at the end. The goal is to make people aware it’s not their fault but they have some things they can try to make things better for them.

I am the author of this piece. It was something I put together as a curiosity and wanted to play with Astro. Hope you all enjoyed it!
