We are a global company with a mission to advance the art and technology of visual experience.

We are learning, listening and taking action to be better and foster trust in our community. Our goal is to ensure every person working at Foundry feels safe and free to be themselves, to share their ideas or concerns and that there is equal access to opportunities for all.

Our hybrid policy is balanced; requiring employees to spend at least two days per week working from a Foundry office and up to three working remotely.
