Join Us in Building the Future of Digital Work

At Sola, we’re transforming the way work is done. We’re developing AI agents that make powerful automation effortless, enabling any user to record a workflow and instantly scale it up to millions of executions.

Sola today powers enterprise workflows in Fortune 100 companies, with a horizontal platform that works across healthcare, finance, legal, logistics, and more. We’ve raised $21M in funding from a16z, Conviction (Sarah Guo), and Y Combinator, and are looking for passionate builders to help us continue to scale.

If you’re interested in being on the forefront of agentic automation, we’d love to hear from you!

What to expect

Our goal is to bring Figma-level UI/UX excellence to enterprise AI workflow automation. Sola's automations run in real enterprise environments under complex constraints: they need to be intelligent and self-directed, but also predictable and consistent.

The questions you'll own are at the forefront of AI today:

• From the execution perspective, what should an agent be trusted to do, where does a human stay in the loop, and how do we make non-deterministic models operate reliably at scale?

• From the building perspective, how can we make automation at scale easy for users in the world’s largest enterprises? How do we make enterprise automation feel as intuitive and elegant as the best consumer and creative tools? How do we design experiences that help non-technical users understand complex workflows, collaborate across teams, and trust AI doing real work on their behalf?

As our first dedicated product hire, you'll partner closely with our CEO and Head of Engineering to turn a fast-moving space into a clear, opinionated roadmap, own features end-to-end from customer problem to shipped product, and help define not just what we build but how we do product as the team grows. This is a job for a builder, not a backlog manager.

We work in person at our NYC HQ, and you'll work directly with the founders to help shape the company's future.

What you'll do

• Partner with our CEO, design, and engineering to set product strategy and own the roadmap, balancing near-term needs with long-term vision.

• Drive features end-to-end: requirements, crisp specs, stakeholder alignment, and keeping design, engineering, and go-to-market in lockstep.

• Talk to users constantly, turning their pain points into a clear sense of what's most valuable to build next.

What we're looking for

• Sharp product judgment paired with genuine design taste: a high bar for elegant, simple user experiences, and the instinct to sweat the details.

• Enough technical fluency to go deep on a genuinely technical product domain and partner with engineering as a peer.

• A clear, concise communicator who brings structure to ambiguity and can represent both users and engineering tradeoffs to any audience.

• AI fluency: you explore and prototype with the latest AI tools, and you can reason about model capabilities well enough to make product calls.

• You're open to working 5 days a week out of our office in NYC (we'll cover relocation!)

Why Sola

• $21M raised from top-tier VCs (a16z, Conviction, YCombinator) and growing incredibly fast

• Proven traction with Fortune 100 customers, with horizontal applicability across a variety of domains (including finance, healthcare, legal, logistics, and more)

• Leading-edge agentic AI tech, solving deep problems in partnership with the AI labs (ex. Anthropic, AWS AGI Lab)

• Small team, early stage, with an opportunity for outsized impact on the company’s future

• Work closely with founders Jessica Wu (ex-Citadel, Thrive Capital) and Neil Deshmukh (MIT Quest for Intelligence Lab), alongside David Fullerton (ex-CTO Heap, Stack Overflow)

Compensation & Benefits

Sola offers competitive salary plus meaningful equity at Series A stage. Exact compensation is based on experience and level.

We offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, 401(k) matching, daily meals together in the office, flexible PTO (4 weeks per year), and relocation support for candidates not already based in NYC.

What we're doing

Sola is building an agentic automation platform to support the enterprises of tomorrow. In order to deliver the experience we want, we’ve reimagined enterprise process automation to effortlessly and safely apply foundation AI models at scale across web and desktop interfaces.

In just one year, Sola has been adopted by Fortune 500 companies, top U.S. law firms, and some of the largest private enterprises across industries like finance, healthcare, legal, and supply chain.

Our team is based in NYC and includes industry leaders who have built and scaled businesses, contributed to the largest quantitative funds, crypto projects, and research labs, and have been founders themselves. We’ve raised our Series A from a Tier-1 VC and Conviction, with additional backing from the founders and CEOs of Dropbox, Zoom, Zapier, Scale, and more.

Sola’s workflow automation product is just the first step – our hardest challenges lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s most critical automation problems, we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are

Sola was founded in 2023 by Jessica Wu and Neil Deshmukh, who were previously at MIT and have experienced firsthand the RPA pain point within their previous experiences in finance and healthcare (prev. at IBM-Watson, MGH, BWH, Citadel Securities, Goldentree AM), and have extensive research experience in relevant areas (published in NeurIps/IEEE for research on multimodal models, computer vision, and robotics).

We’ve raised 20M+ in funding to date (most recently a Series A from a Tier-1 VC and Conviction), with additional backing from Y Combinator (S23 batch) and the founders and CEOs of Dropbox, Zoom, Zapier, Scale, and more.
