Senior Product Marketing Manager

About Foundry

At Foundry we are on a mission to orchestrate the world’s compute capacity, rendering it universally accessible and useful. To do so, we are building a new breed of public cloud, backed by an orchestration platform that makes accessing AI compute as easy as turning on the light. We spun out of a PhD lab at Stanford about a year ago, and are backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, Jeff Dean, Eric Schmidt, and many other incredible angels and advisors. We raised $80M to date, have customers, and revenue. 

Cloud computing is supposed to abstract away the hardware layer but ML infra is more complex than ever. Engineers should spend less time focusing on which chip they should use and more time on solving hard problems. Our orchestration platform makes using compute resources as easy as flipping a light switch. For more information, see below.

Working at Foundry

We are not looking to change an industry—we are looking to revolutionize it. We don’t just dream big—we have the audacity to dream massively. We are not reaching for the stars to land on the moon—we are reaching for Mars, or even another galaxy. We make the impossible possible.

We focus on energy and clarity. We are team players, daring truth seekers, with no ego. We are growing quickly but maintain a flat structure by having an ownership mentality. We believe in asking the right questions in order to solve hard problems.
