About Factory

Our mission is to create a world where software builds and improves itself.

We build the platform for self-improving software development, helping the world's largest enterprise engineering teams turn their organizations into autonomous software factories. Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.

In 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).

About the Role

As Factory scales through hyper-growth off the back of our Series C, we are seeking a Founding HRBP to serve as a trusted partner to leaders across the org. This is a foundational role: you’ll provide hands-on partnership while helping build the HRBP function itself - the frameworks, playbooks, and practices that become its backbone as the company scales.

What you will do and achieve

Strategic Partnership & Org Effectiveness
• Advise functional leaders on org design, workforce planning, and growth plans as the company scales.
• Own headcount planning and data integrity for your client groups
• Partner with leadership to build the playbooks and frameworks for org design, performance calibration, comp cycles, career ladders, headcount - that become the foundation for the HRBP function as it grows

Employee Relations & Coaching
• Serve as a trusted advisor on employee relations, exercising judgment on what’s a coaching moment, a policy issue, or an escalation
• Coach leaders and managers on performance, feedback, and people leadership, building trust and transparency

• Contribute to L&D, People Program, and Total Rewards initiatives.

Performance, Comp & Data
• Run performance reviews and the comp cycle for your client groups end to end - calibration, consistency, communication
• Bring a data- and metrics-driven approach - attrition, span of control, performance distribution to flag org risk before it becomes a retention problem

AI & Ways of Working
• Use AI tools, including Factory’s own product, as a core part of how you operate - dogfooding what we build
• Operate at both altitudes: build durable systems while running the day-to-day operational load, often in the same week

Qualifications

• 8+ years in HR, with a strong track record as an HRBP or People Partner in high-growth, fast-paced tech companies
• Strong business acumen - you understand how the company makes money and decisions well enough to be a credible partner to functional leaders
• Curious and a real problem solver - you work root causes instead of pattern-matching to the nearest existing policy
• Genuinely employee-focused - you build for the people using the systems you design
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; able to build trust at all levels of the company
• Comfortable operating in both strategic and hands-on capacities in a dynamic, fast-changing environment
• Experience partnering with Finance on headcount planning and compensation strategy

This is an in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco (walking distance to Caltrain)
