About the role

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

  • 3+ years of experience as an engineer, including recent work on cutting-edge ML and AI systems
  • Owned production AI features end-to-end, from experimentation to maintaining live production infrastructure
  • Proficient in Python with hands-on experience in modern ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, HuggingFace, DSPy)
  • Open to working 5 days a week out of our office in NYC

You might excel if

  • Hands-on experience operating at an early stage startup where ownership and execution in the face of ambiguity were essential
  • ML research background on top of engineering skills, particularly in areas relevant to Sola (e.g. CUA, agentic reasoning, visual grounding, VLMs, fine-tuning)
  • Expert in some or all of our stack: Typescript, Python, DSPy, vLLM / TensorRT, Temporal, Kubernetes

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary plus meaningful equity at Series A stage
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) matching
  • Daily meals together in the office
  • Flexible PTO (4 weeks per year)
  • Relocation support for candidates not already based in NYC
