What to expectWe're solving one of the most interesting problems in AI today:
building reliable, deterministic execution on top of non-deterministic AI models.
As one of our first dedicated ML platform hires, you'll work directly with our CTO to bring state-of-the-art AI capabilities into production. This is an engineering role, not a research role. You'll own the systems that make our AI reliable, observable, and scalable, turning AI research into production features.
This is an opportunity to join a small, tight-knit team at our HQ in NYC. We believe the best work happens in person, especially at the early stage, and you'll have the opportunity to learn from the founding team and early engineers to help shape the future of the company.
What you'll do- Partner directly with our CTO to turn AI research and experiments into production-grade features
- Investigate and prototype new AI capabilities, taking early-stage ideas and quickly determining what's feasible to build and ship
- Build observability and evals infrastructure so we can monitor models in production and measure whether they're succeeding
- Take ownership of AI features end-to-end, from design through deployment and monitoring, collaborating with other teams as needed to bring features to production
What we're looking for- You have 3+ years of experience as an engineer, including recent work on cutting-edge ML and AI systems
- You've owned production AI features end-to-end, from experimentation to maintaining live production infrastructure
- You're proficient in Python with hands-on experience in modern ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, HuggingFace, DSPy)
- You're open to working 5 days a week out of our office in NYC (we'll cover relocation!)
You might excel if- You have hands-on experience operating at an early stage startup where ownership and execution in the face of ambiguity were essential
- You bring an ML research background on top of your engineering skills, particularly in areas relevant to Sola (e.g. CUA, agentic reasoning, visual grounding, VLMs, fine-tuning)
- You're an expert in some or all of our stack: Typescript, Python, DSPy, vLLM / TensorRT, Temporal, Kubernetes
- You're ambitious, creative, and a great communicator
Compensation & BenefitsSola 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.
