Working at Modular

We believe in a thoughtful framework to family, compensation, growth, and mission - each of these elements is critical to anyone living a balanced and fulfilling life. We want to ensure that you have a place to achieve the right mix.

  • We’re trusting & empowering

    We trust that you will hold our values and standards. This means we don't micromanage you.

  • We write things down

    This is key to being asynchronous. It allows real-time discussions to be more thoughtful and contextually driven.

  • We have levels

    We acknowledge levels of experience upfront and have a transparent and well-defined leveling system.

What you expect from the interview

Modular has a straight-forward interview process and large majority of the roles follow the same steps:

  1. Step 1

    Application Review

    The first step of the process is to submit your resume. We aim to review all resumes within 2 weeks and we respond to every single application made.

  2. Step 2

    Call with Recruiting

    Typically you will first have a short 20-30min call with recruiting to just go over some basic information about you and the company, and to discuss next steps.

  3. Step 3

    Call with Hiring Manager

    The Hiring Manager will dig a bit deeper into your background and previous experience to determine mutual fit. This will also be your opportunity to learn more about what the team is working on and what the role entails. In case you have applied for more than one role on different teams, we often schedule you for two separate calls with two separate Hiring Managers.

  4. Step 4

    Team Interviews

    There are typically 4 team interviews, usually 45-60 minutes each. These may be scheduled all at once or separately, depending on the role. The focus areas for these team interviews vary by role. For example, for Engineering roles, you can expect coding and system design type interviews; for Product roles, we often talk about the industry and product strategy. For Leadership roles, we may ask for a presentation.

    We believe that team culture is a critical part of a great company, so every candidate also has a Culture interview that focuses on communication skills, team work, and so on.  We will let you know what to expect in each interview when we send you a schedule confirmation.

  5. Step 5

    Founder Interviews

    We aim to put all finalists in touch with at least one of our co-founders before a final decision. This would allow you as a candidate to speak directly to Chris and/or Tim, and get answers to any final important questions you may have.

  6. Step 6

    Offer

    If we make you an offer, we share an extensive offer deck for you and schedule a walk-through call to go over the information in detail and again answer any final questions you may have. We also aim to give you enough time to make a decision after that.

I picked modular because of the people and what they believe in and what they want to do. I want to be a part of something that makes a difference for the better.

What do you look for in a candidate?

There is no “one size fits all” answer here however Modulers are passionate about their work, intellectually curious, humble, and ready to roll up their sleeves. We like to have discussions in interviews and expect you to ask clarifying questions and talk us through your thought process — sometimes there is no right or wrong answer, we just want to understand how you think and work through challenging problems. We also look for strong alignment with Modular’s Culture and values.

We would love to receive your application even if it doesn’t meet all criteria! We review applications with all roles and opportunities in mind.
