Making cloud development
work like magic

We started Modal with the goal to make it easier to iterate and ship applications for data, AI, and machine learning. 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.

Customers use Modal for a wide range of use cases, including Generative AI inference, LLM fine-tuning, computational biotech, and media processing. We're focused on developer experience at our core, letting companies ship value faster without having to think about infrastructure. In a few lines of code, we let you scale from zero to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. And since pricing is entirely usage-based, you only pay for the time your code is running.

Our team is based out of New York, Stockholm, and San Francisco. It includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn and Luigi), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. We're also hiring!
