Company mission
To orchestrate the world’s compute capacity, rendering it universally accessible and useful.
Role
Who you are
- We’re building for experts, so we’re looking for one. You’ve shipped deeply technical products, made tough prioritization calls, and helped teams navigate ambiguity
- You understand both the business and technical layers of infrastructure and AI tooling, and you can map out product strategy without waiting for permission
- Have 8+ years of product management experience, ideally in infrastructure, developer tools, or ML/AI platforms
- Are comfortable in zero-to-one environments — you’ve built things before that didn’t exist yet
- Know how to earn trust with technical teams and speak fluently with engineers
- Have strong intuition for what makes good UX, especially for technical users
- Thrive with autonomy and can make progress without a lot of structure or precedent
- Enjoy combining strategy, execution, and customer empathy — and can do all three well
What the job involves
- Foundry is hiring our first Product Manager. This role is for someone who wants to define the product function from the ground up and shape a company where infrastructure and AI intersect
- As our first PM, you’ll partner directly with our founder, engineering lead, and design to drive the strategy, execution, and delivery of high-leverage products for machine learning practitioners. You’ll need to move seamlessly between talking to customers, defining the roadmap, writing detailed specs, and helping unblock engineers
- This isn’t a role where you’re handed a backlog — you’ll work upstream to figure out what matters and why
- Define and own the product roadmap across infrastructure, ML workflows, and developer experience
- Drive product development end-to-end: from customer discovery and requirements gathering to launch and iteration
- Work tightly with engineering and design to break down complex problems into practical solutions that scale
- Interface directly with early users to understand needs, validate ideas, and refine the product
- Establish clear KPIs and product success metrics. Make decisions grounded in data and user insight
- Collaborate with go-to-market and support teams to ensure product launches are smooth and well-positioned
- Build the foundation for how product works at Foundry — from rituals to process to hiring
Our take
Typically, businesses that want to leverage AI and Machine Learning find themselves having to build their own infrastructure, sourcing their own hardware and basically becoming experts in it before they can access the AI compute resources that they need.
Foundry is working to simplify access to AI compute, by supplying a public cloud that is powered by its orchestration platform. Built with machine learning in mind, it can manage the unique needs of these workloads, and essentially removes the need for engineering teams to concern themselves with hardware.
Delivering a service for which demand is already on the rise, the company sets itself up well for a fruitful future. Foundry has recently raised an impressive Seed and Series A round of funding that will support expansion efforts and the pursuing of more partnerships, as well as help enhance its offering.
