Job Description

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 hiring a Financial Controller to lead accounting and reporting as we scale. This is a high-impact role where you’ll build the systems, processes, and team that keep our financial foundation strong. You’ll own reporting and controls, ensure clean operations, and be a trusted partner across the company as we grow.

You’ll report to our VP of Finance and collaborate closely with senior management. You’ll also oversee relationships with auditors, tax advisors, and other external partners. In this role, you will:

  • Oversee day-to-day accounting operations: GL, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, and cash management

  • Drive the close process each month, delivering accurate, timely results under US GAAP

  • Lead financial reporting and analyses to inform strategic decision-making and investor relations

  • Own technical accounting areas (ASC 606, stock-based comp, consolidations, transfer pricing)

  • Maintain rigorous internal controls and manage audits and compliance

  • Improve our systems and build a high-performance accounting team

  • Partner across the organization on revenue recognition, entity structuring, and global expansion

Requirements:

  • CPA with Big 4 audit experience

  • 10+ years of experience across accounting and finance

  • Familiarity with usage-based pricing models

  • Hands-on experience with QuickBooks, NetSuite, Ramp, and other systems

  • Deep knowledge of US GAAP and internal controls

  • Ability to work in-person in our NYC office

Compensation

$220K – $235K • Offers Equity
