Account Executive - AI Native, EMEA

About Us:AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.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 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've passed $1B in annualized run rate, up 15x from a year ago.

In October 2026 we raised a $750M Series D led by Accel at a $15.75B valuation.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 hiring an Account Executive to win and grow Modal’s relationships with AI-native companies: the startups and scale-ups building their products on models from day one.

These teams move fast, so our sales cycle does too.

You’ll also help build Modal’s presence in the developer community, because in this market, the best pipeline comes from engineers who already love the product.The ideal candidate has an engineering background, has worked as a solutions architect or in a similar technical role, and has since moved into selling.

You’re as comfortable debugging a cold-start issue with an ML engineer as you are negotiating t
