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.\nSola 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.\nIf you’re interested in being on the forefront of agentic automation, we’d love to hear from you!\nWhat to expect\nOur 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.\nThe questions you'll own are at the forefront of AI today:\nFrom 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?\n\nFrom 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?\n\nAs 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.\nWe work in person at our NYC HQ, and you'll work directly with the founders to help shape the company's future.\nWhat you'll do\nPartner with our CEO, design, and engineering to set product strategy and own the roadmap, balancing near-term needs with long-term vision.\n\nDrive features end-to-end: requirements, crisp specs, stakeholder alignment, and keeping design, engineering, and go-to-market in lockstep.\n\nTalk to users constantly, turning their pain points into a clear sense of what's most valuable to build next.\n\nWhat we're looking for\nYou have 5+ years of experience\n\nSharp product judgment paired with genuine design taste: a high bar for elegant, simple user experiences, and the instinct to sweat the details.\n\nEnough technical fluency to go deep on a genuinely technical product domain and partner with engineering as a peer.\n\nA clear, concise communicator who brings structure to ambiguity and can represent both users and engineering tradeoffs to any audience.\n\nAI fluency: you explore and prototype with the latest AI tools, and you can reason about model capabilities well enough to make product calls.\n\nYou're open to working 5 days a week out of our office in NYC (we'll cover relocation!)\n\nWhy Sola\n$21M raised from top-tier VCs (a16z, Conviction, YCombinator) and growing incredibly fast\n\nProven traction with Fortune 100 customers, with horizontal applicability across a variety of domains (including finance, healthcare, legal, logistics, and more)\n\nLeading-edge agentic AI tech, solving deep problems in partnership with the AI labs (ex. Anthropic, AWS AGI Lab)\n\nSmall team, early stage, with an opportunity for outsized impact on the company’s future\n\nWork 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)\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nSola offers competitive salary plus meaningful equity at Series A stage. Exact compensation is based on experience and level.\nWe 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4133,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-07T02:16:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.412,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":107,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sola-founding-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sola-founding-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T22:57:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8390,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":26691},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=26691"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsola-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsola-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsola-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sola-founding-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsola-founding-product-manager"}]}
