Sol is an agentic HR system built for how work is changing. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Most HR systems treat payroll as an endpoint. At Sol, it's key to how the full picture of employment comes together. Compensation, time off, leave, equity, benefits -- today those live in disconnected systems without connective tissue. Sol is built to hold all of it. Getting payroll right means earning employee trust.
What they're looking for
- You've been a product manager with payroll as your primary domain at a company where payroll was core
- You understand payroll complexity at the detail level: multi-state, garnishments, equity treatment, benefits deductions, off-cycle runs, multi-worker-type variation
- You can hold the compliance dimension without outsourcing it -- you know when something is a product decision and when it's a regulatory constraint
- You think in data models and systems, not just features -- you care about what belongs at the platform level vs. what belongs in configuration
- You write structured product specs that engineering can build against, not just PRDs that document what already exists
- You're comfortable in early-stage ambiguity -- there's no existing payroll codebase to maintain or inherit. You're here to define it
More about this role
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.
