VFX and animation software for feature film and broadcast production
Foundry develops specialized visualization software for film studios and post-production houses, with a tech stack centered on Python, C++, and Kubernetes—infrastructure choices that signal backend-heavy engineering focused on rendering performance and distributed processing at scale. Active hiring spans engineering, support, and finance roles across UK, US, and Australia, with a skew toward senior and mid-level positions, suggesting both technical depth and operational scaling rather than pure growth.
Foundry is a London-based software company founded in 1996, now with over 275 employees across offices in the US, Canada, China, Japan, Australia, and Ireland. The company builds specialized tools for VFX, compositing, texture painting, and animation—products used by major studios including ILM, DNEG, Pixar, Marvel, Netflix, and Framestore. Foundry's software has been integral to every VFX Academy Award-winning film since 2007 and has earned four Academy Sci-Tech Awards, two HPA Engineering Excellence awards, and an Engineering Emmy. The company serves a niche but high-value market: feature film and broadcast creators tackling complex visualization challenges. Current priorities include financial modeling and forecasting, case study development, and content marketing.
