## Job description

## About Sol

Sol is an agentic HR system built for how work is changing. We're replacing the traditional HRIS with an AI-native foundation. We are built for change, designed to scale, and reimagined with AI from the ground up, so HR leaders get a clear view of their workforce instead of a system everyone works around. At Sol, we're guided by three things: people: we hire driven, humble people and build to amplify their potential and our customers'; imagination: we challenge assumptions about our industry and how software gets built, then move fast once we've decided; and durability: we sweat the details to build a company that is meant to last. Day to day, that shows up as a bias toward writing things down over meetings, async communication by default, and flexible hours that respect how differently everyone works. We try new things, kill what isn't working, and hold a high bar without the politics or ego that slow good decisions down. Sol was founded by leaders who spent decades building the modern HR category, and is backed by Sutter Hill Ventures and NEA. Our first customers go live in early 2027 and we need you to make them wildly successful.

## The Role

You'll build Sol's product surface end to end — from backend services and APIs to the modern, AI-native interfaces our customers use. The product is early and the surface area is wide: you'll regularly ship features that span data model to UI, working closely with the founding team and our domain architects.

## What You'll Do

- Build product features across the stack: Kotlin/JVM backend services, APIs, and the frontend experiences they power
- Build dynamic, data-driven interfaces that adapt to each customer rather than static layouts
- Build conversational and agent-mediated experiences alongside traditional enterprise UI
- Contribute to the component and API patterns the product scales on
- Move fast with AI-assisted development as a first-class part of how we build

## What We're Looking For

- You have deep backend experience in Kotlin or Java — services, APIs, and data models that hold up in production — and you design for composition, not one-off use
- You understand your tools below the surface: JVM behavior, concurrency, data access patterns, where performance actually goes to die
- You're comfortable crossing into the frontend — working TypeScript familiarity and the willingness to ship UI, not just hand off an API
- You want breadth — features that run from data model to pixels — and the ambiguity that comes with shaping an early product
- You use AI coding tools daily and have developed real fluency with them — this is how we work, not an experiment
- You're scrappy, curious, and want the ownership that comes with an early team

## Why Now

The product is at the stage where one engineer's work is visible everywhere: the patterns you establish this year are the ones thousands of enterprise users will live in. You'd be building a new kind of enterprise interface with a team that has done the enterprise part before and is rethinking the rest.

## Compensation and Benefits

- Base Range: $200-300k and significant early-stage equity
- Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage, with plan choices through Kaiser and Aetna
- Mental health support (Talkspace), fertility and family-building care (Kindbody), and virtual or same-day primary care (Teladoc, One Medical)
- Pre-tax FSA and dependent care accounts
- Company-paid life and disability insurance
- 401(k) through Empower
- Untracked paid time off and company holidays

Sol is an equal opportunity employer. We don't discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. We're committed to building an inclusive workplace and providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.

- **Entity Type**: Private (Early Stage, backed by venture capital)
- **Headquarters**: Not publicly available (operates remotely)
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Pete Schlampp (CEO), Erin Yang (CPO & COO), Jim Stratton (CTO), Jon Ruggiero (Chief Architect)

## Core Business

- Mission or purpose statement: To build an agentic HR foundation that handles the operational load, giving leaders faster answers and the ability to manage an ever-changing workforce, amplifying human potential. The tagline is "Run at the pace of human ambition."

## Products & Services
- **Sol (Agentic HR System)**: A cloud-based, AI-native platform that replaces a traditional HRIS. It is described as "agentic by design," meaning it is built to self-maintain and provide answers rather than tickets. It aims to capture the full picture of how work gets done, providing a foundation for both leaders and AI agents.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding (not publicly available); First customers go live in early 2027.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**:
    - **Investors**: Sutter Hill Ventures, New Enterprise Associates (NEA).
    - **Advisors**: Leighanne Levensaler (former EVP of Products & Corporate Strategy, Workday), Anna Binder (former Chief People Officer, Asana).
- **Growth Signals**: Founded by a team of four former high-ranking Workday leaders (Product, CTO, Chief Architect, CPO). The company is in a pre-launch/pre-revenue phase, actively hiring and offering early access to prospective customers.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founding Team Moat**: Built by a team that helped scale Workday to an enterprise HR category leader, giving them deep domain expertise and credibility.
- **AI-Native from Day One**: Unlike legacy systems or those adding AI as a feature, Sol is "agentic by design," reimagining the entire HR foundation with AI at its core.
- **Focus on Context**: The system is designed to capture not just transactions but the context behind decisions, solving a key data problem for AI agents.

## Strategic Focus
- **Pre-Launch & Building**: The current priority is building the product and preparing for its first customer go-lives in early 2027.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Aggressively hiring engineers, designers, and product architects to build the AI-native platform.
- **Market Disruption**: Targeting to replace existing HRIS systems for enterprises that need a more dynamic and intelligent foundation for a changing workforce.

## Why Work Here
- **Founding Team & Vision**: Opportunity to work with leaders who shaped a major enterprise category (Workday) and build a category-defining product from scratch.
- **AI-Native Engineering**: A chance to build a complex enterprise system using cutting-edge AI technology, appealing to engineers who want to work on foundational architecture rather than bolt-on features.
- **Remote-First Culture**: The careers page lists roles as "Remote - US," "Remote - European Union," and "Remote," indicating a remote-first or hybrid-remote work policy.
- **Early Stage Impact**: As a pre-launch company, new hires will have significant ownership and influence over the product and company culture from the ground up.
