Stop building GPT wrappers. Build a world model instead. Why Foundry exists: Every SaaS app, enterprise tool, and internal workflow without an API will soon be automated by browser agents—not traditional API integrations. Tens of trillions of dollars in global labor depend on browser-based workflows that no AI system can reliably automate today. But browser agents right now are like GPT-1: impressive demos, but brittle and broken in practice. To scale browser agents from GPT-1 demos to GPT-4 reliability—and unlock this enormous economic leap—they need purpose-built infrastructure: Hyper-realistic, deterministic web simulations Comprehensive annotation framework for labeling and debugging Reliable benchmarks immune to web drift, IP bans, and rate limits Robust RL training environments and infrastructure No one's built it yet. We're going first. We’re building exactly this—core infrastructure designed from first principles, specifically for browser agents. No incremental tools, no wrappers around GPT—just the foundational AI stack everyone else will depend on later. Our founding team is ex-Scale AI & Meta What we’re looking for: A founding engineer who’s cracked at software engineering—but who now wants to ship core ML systems and RL infrastructure from scratch. This is not another prompt-engineering job. You’ll: Build a browser agent gym—sparse rewards, non-determinism, messy DOM trees. Solve hard ML problems at the edge of production—every single day. You probably: Are a killer engineer (Python, TypeScript) Ship insanely fast—internships, side projects, OSS, real research—things you’ve built yourself. Have real ML exposure: trained models, built infra, ran experiments. Have strong OSS contributions, publications we’d recognize, or both. Want a grind. Want to get better. Want to build something genuinely novel. Bonus points: You’ve built RL agents, browser automation (Puppeteer, Playwright), or eval tooling. You’re tired of wrapping APIs and fine-tuning HuggingFace models—ready to do something deeper. Why join: Real-world ML infrastructure, real users, real technical complexity. Early equity, competitive pay, and massive growth trajectory. We're building core infra. The ML stack everyone else will use later—that’s what we’re shipping today. If you’ve read this far, you probably get it. Reach out directly—let’s build.
