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.
We’re looking for a Detection & Response Engineer to build the systems that help us identify, investigate, and respond to threats across our platform.
This is an engineering role focused on automation. You’ll build detections, investigation tooling, and response capabilities that scale with our infrastructure, using AI where it meaningfully improves signal, investigation speed, and operational effectiveness.
You’ll work closely with infrastructure, platform, and security engineers to ensure every incident makes the platform more resilient.
Detection Engineering
Design and build high-fidelity detections for attacks, abuse, and anomalous behavior across our infrastructure and production systems
Continuously improve detections based on telemetry, threat intelligence, and lessons learned from incidents
Improve visibility across cloud infrastructure, containers, identity systems, and production services
Incident Response
Lead or participate in investigations spanning production infrastructure, cloud environments, and internal systems
Build playbooks and automation that reduce investigation time and improve response consistency
Drive post-incident improvements that eliminate entire classes of future incidents
Security Tooling & Automation
Build internal tooling that improves detection, investigation, and response workflows
Leverage LLMs to automate repetitive analysis, accelerate investigations, and surface actionable insights from security telemetry
Improve the collection, quality, and usability of security telemetry across the platform
Engineering Partnership
Partner with engineering teams to ensure new systems are observable and secure by default
Help teams instrument services with the telemetry needed for effective detection and response
Drive security improvements that make the platform easier to defend over time
You have experience in detection engineering, incident response, security engineering, or software engineering with a strong security focus
You have strong software engineering skills and experience building production systems.
You’ve investigated security incidents in cloud-native or distributed environments
You’re familiar with modern cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Linux, and networking
You’ve built detections using logs, telemetry, behavioral signals, or large-scale event data.
You have strong SQL skills for investigating security events and developing detections
You’re interested in applying AI and LLMs to detection, investigation, and response, and in understanding emerging threats involving AI-powered systems
You have strong written and verbal communication skills
Experience building AI- or LLM-powered security tooling
Experience with SIEM, SOAR, or EDR platforms
Experience with Kubernetes security or large-scale cloud infrastructure
Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
Experience contributing to security operations in a high-growth engineering organization

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in new york, NY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How New York compares. Among the 120 largest places in New York, New York is #1 by population, #117 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #115 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Kings County, is #38 of 62 counties for average pay ($59,980).
New York has 8,483,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 42.7% of the population of New York. It covers 300 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 28,236 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, 4% younger than the state median (38.2 against 39.8).
The median gross rent is $1,821 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% above the state median ($1,821 against $1,621). Over a year that is 27.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $777,600, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($80,483); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 32.8% of households own their home, 40% below the state average (32.8% against 54.4%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area has 9,492,000 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $61,430 a year, 20% above the national median ($61,430 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (1,109,360 jobs, median $55,080); healthcare support (843,730 jobs, median $40,100); sales and related (751,110 jobs, median $47,540). The area is most specialised in healthcare support (1.8 times) and legal (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($171,990) and legal ($150,990). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Kings County was 5.3%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Kings County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 21.6% drive alone, 44.0% use public transit, 9.2% walk, 16.9% work from home. 41.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (41.2% against 27.4%).
41.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (41.6% against 40.2%). 36.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (36.6% against 22.8%). The poverty rate is 17.9%, 28% above the state rate (17.9% against 14.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 34°F (1.1°C). About 1,313 mm (52 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Feb the driest (95 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Hoboken (7 miles, rent 61% higher); Jersey City (7 miles, rent 10% higher); Union City (9 miles, rent 16% lower); Bayonne (9 miles, rent 8% lower). Rent differences are against New York; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
