The Opportunity
Companies have spent billions on AI tools and tokens. Almost none of them can prove it’s working. 95% of organizations report zero measurable return from their AI investments. Not because the tools are bad, but because nobody redesigned the workflows, coached the teams, or measured what actually changed.
Modo is the AI success layer for the enterprise.
We sit inside the flow of work, capture how teams actually use AI, guide them in the moment, and give leaders the ROI analytics to understand which AI tools and workflows are actually creating value.
Today, Modo helps companies drive AI adoption and prove ROI inside real workflows. As we capture more workflow context, Modo becomes the layer understanding how work actually gets done across teams, tools, and AI, which allows companies to build proprietary custom agents grounded in their own workflows.
We are a Seed stage startup, raised from One Way Ventures, Pear VC, Peterson Ventures, JFF Ventures, and a strong group of institutional investors and strategic operators. Now we need to build fast enough to match customer demand.
This is not a typical engineering role. You’ll be our founding engineer, with an outsized role in how the product, company, and engineering culture evolve.
Competitive salary, meaningful early equity, and the chance to grow into an engineering leadership role as we scale.
Who We Want
Experience with building browser-based automation tools or developer/enterprise tools.
You’ll join
Johnny Chang
(Stanford top AI agent research, taught most Stanford AI flagship courses with professors like Andrew Ng) and
Angelina You
(Meta data science, Stanford MS Eng, product growth at CircleCI) as the founding engineer. Product, engineering, and customer work all run through the same room.
We’re backed by One Way Ventures, Pear VC, Peterson Ventures, JFF Ventures, and many more institutional funds and strategic angels.
