## 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
