## Job description

Be Part of a Mission-Driven Team At Foundry for Good, we don’t just build businesses—we build businesses that do good. Across our family of brands, we support nonprofits, trade associations, and mission-driven organizations with innovative software, impactful marketing strategies, and tools that empower positive change. Here’s why you’ll love working with us:

- Stability & Growth: We’re 100% self-funded, with no outside investors or debt, meaning long-term stability and thoughtful growth.
- People-First Culture: Our 95%+ employee retention rate reflects our commitment to competitive pay, respect, and career development.
- Global Collaboration: Work with talented team members in the US and the Philippines who share your drive for excellence and impact.
- Mission-Focused Work: Every role here supports organizations making the world a better place.

If you’re ready to grow your career while making a difference, we’d love to hear from you! [Watch Our "Meet the Team" Video](https://vimeo.com/1059846216/d84c59a1e7?share=copy) Foundry for Good is building its in-house AI engineering team in the Philippines, and this is the founding cohort. We run a portfolio of profitable, US-based, mission-driven companies, including Nexus Marketing and Double the Donation, serving nonprofits, education, healthcare, and associations. We're going AI-native across all of them, and we're hiring senior engineers to lead that work. This is a fellowship, not an internship. We're hiring experienced people who already lead AI or engineering teams and don't want to leave a job they like to do frontier work. You join a small founding cohort part-time, build real production systems from week one, and the standouts finish with full-time leadership offers. The structure

- 10–15 hours per week, over 12 weeks. Built to fit around a full-time job.
- Starts in early July 2026. We review applications on a rolling basis and move quickly.
- Remote, anywhere in the Philippines. Mostly on your own schedule, with some overlap with our US team.
- A small, selective founding cohort across the Foundry for Good portfolio.
- A direct path to full-time AI leadership roles for standouts.

## What you'll do

- Build internal AI agents and automation used in production across our brands.
- Turn manual, repetitive workflows into reliable agents, and own their quality, cost, and reliability.
- Coach non-technical teams to work AI-native so the leverage compounds.
- Help set the standards, stack, and practices the full-time AI team will run on.

## Who you are

- You build with LLMs and agents in production today, not in demos.
- You've shipped and owned real systems, including their reliability, cost, and quality.
- You currently lead or mentor engineers somewhere strong.
- You want frontier work and real ownership without quitting your job to get it.

## Nice to have

- Experience standing up AI tooling or an AI function inside a company.
- A track record of leveling up non-technical teams on new tooling.
- A strong academic record from a top university.
- Work in or alongside mission-driven sectors (nonprofit, education, healthcare, associations).

How the process works Short application, fast turnaround. A conversation with the founders and a real-world build discussion, not a take-home gauntlet. We're hiring a small group and moving quickly, so apply soon if the start date works for you. If this would be your first AI project, this isn't the right round.
