## Description (the employer's text)

### 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 Enterprise Account Executive to accelerate Modal’s growth with the world’s most innovative AI companies. This is a high-impact role where you’ll own the full sales cycle—from building pipeline to closing large, strategic enterprise deals. You’ll partner directly with our founders, engineering, and product teams to help customers harness Modal’s infrastructure to train, deploy, and scale AI applications.

You’ll be expected to operate as a builder: developing new relationships, shaping our GTM motion, and serving as the voice of the customer inside Modal. The ideal candidate is both technically curious and commercially driven—equally comfortable in a room with C-level executives and with machine learning engineers. In this role, you will:

Drive new business by generating pipeline, negotiating, and closing complex enterprise deals

Build deep, trusted relationships with technical and executive stakeholders at leading AI companies

Run proof-of-concepts and pilots in close collaboration with our solutions and engineering teams

Expand existing accounts by identifying growth opportunities and helping customers scale their workloads

Bring structured customer feedback to influence Modal’s product roadmap and GTM strategy

Contribute to the foundation of Modal’s sales process, culture, and playbooks as we scale the team

### Requirements

7–10+ years of enterprise software sales experience, ideally in infrastructure, ML/AI, or developer-focused platforms

Track record of consistently exceeding $1M+ annual quotas and closing six- and seven-figure enterprise deals

Strong technical acumen—able to communicate infrastructure and AI concepts with both engineers and executives

Experience leading proof-of-concepts and managing complex procurement processes

Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills

Comfortable in an early-stage, fast-moving environment; excited to help shape systems and processes from the ground up

Ability to work in-person from our office 5 days a week
