Security Engineer
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.
The Role:
We’re looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to help with building, operating and securing Modal’s low-level systems and infrastructure. This role involves close partnership with engineering to drive projects across AppSec, CloudSec, Detection and Response, and Compliance.
Requirements:
5+ years building and operating security controls or tooling in production systems (ideally at a cloud/SaaS or developer platform)
Proficiency in at least one of: Python, Go, or Rust
Strong fundamentals in systems and networking
Experience with modern cloud security: IAM design, VPC/networking, container security, Kubernetes
Depth in at least two security domains (e.g., AppSec, CloudSec, Detection & Response, Identity Management, GRC or Offensive Security)
Comfortable owning the full lifecycle: threat modeling, secure design reviews, code/infra reviews, vulnerability management, and partnering with engineers to land fixes
Clear communication, product sense, and high empathy for developer productivity
Ability to work in-person in our NYC office
