Documentation Engineer

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.

The Role:

Modal considers high-quality documentation to be essential for developer experience, and we see docs becoming even more important as agents increasingly deploy and operate Modal Apps. We are looking for a content-minded engineer who will partner with our product teams to curate Modal’s technical documentation and maintain a high quality bar across multiple dimensions.

Responsibilities:

• Thinking holistically about content architecture and how the docs should evolve as Modal introduces new products and features
• Innovating on novel documentation formats and delivery channels to optimize agent productivity, in collaboration with our Agent DX research team
• Developing content standards, style guides, and automated enforcement mechanisms to ensure consistent style and high quality
• Building and maintaining automated pipelines that will enforce the correctness of code examples and prose descriptions
• Collaborating with engineers across the company to author documentation that is clear, consistent, and correct

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in an engineering, product, or developer relations role, ideally in the devtools or infrastructure space
• Experience authoring and/or editing high-quality technical content for developers
• Knowledge of agentic engineering workflows and best practices
• Comfort with modern software development practices (version control, CI/CD, testing)
