About the role
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 engineers 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 We're solving one of the most interesting problems in AI today: building reliable, deterministic execution on top of non-deterministic AI models . Desktop automation is the most challenging frontier of computer use automation. Modern enterprise environments mix legacy Win32 software, Citrix virtual desktops, and modern apps, each requiring a different approach to perception and control. You'll own everything from session management and remote desktop protocols to screen capture and the hybrid perception pipeline combining Windows accessibility trees with VLM-based visual grounding. This role is open to full-time remote or in-person at our HQ in New York . Our team today is split between both. If you’re in New York (or open to relocating) you’ll be in-person every day with a tight-knit founding team.
