Senior Product Manager (first PM)

San Francisco Bay Area

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.

 

Joining Foundry

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.

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.

 

Responsibilities

  • 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.

 

Requirements

  • 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.

 

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
  • 401k Plan with 4% company match
  • 21 days of PTO & 14 company holidays; including 2 floating holidays

 

Salary Range Information 

In consideration of market analysis and various pertinent factors, the remuneration bracket for this role is set between $170,000 and $250,000. Nevertheless, adjustments beyond this range could be warranted for candidates whose qualifications substantially deviate from those delineated in the job description.

 

Equal Opportunity Employer

Foundry maintains a strict commitment to Equal Opportunity employment practices. All applicants are evaluated without regard to race, color, religion, creed, national origin, age, sex, gender, marital status, sexual orientation and identity, genetic information, veteran status, citizenship, or any other factors prohibited by local, state, or federal law.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
