Careers at Modality
Help build the layer money settles on.
Build the infrastructure that moves money between any two currencies directly, any day of the week, with agents running the operations and people approving.
Our vision
Cross-border money still routes through a currency it rarely needs. A payment between two non-dollar currencies often converts twice, waits on a correspondent bank and stops for the weekend. Adding a currency means a bank relationship, a local entity and capital parked in pre-funded accounts. The work around it is manual and spread across teams.
We see money in many forms, from bank stablecoins and tokenized deposits to local instant rails, settling directly with one another. Modality is building the layer between them: 36 account currencies, 630 direct pairs and 24/7 settlement on one record, with onboarding, compliance and payments operations designed to run on agents, and a person approving.
