About Solace

Solace is the real-time data platform for the enterprise — one platform that connects every application, cloud, partner, and edge, turns raw events into real-time context, and powers agentic AI in production.

About the role

Are you a new grad who wants to build something that matters from day one? At Solace, you won't be relegated to small bug fixes or endless onboarding—you'll ship real features to real users within your first weeks. This isn't a hand-holding job. You'll be challenged daily, expected to move fast, learn faster, and take ownership of your work like a seasoned engineer.

What they're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)—graduating between December 2026 and June 2027
  • Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design
  • Experience with at least one modern programming language (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, etc.). Bonus if you've worked with TypeScript, React, or Node.js
  • Projects that show you can build real things—personal projects, hackathons, internships, open source contributions. We care about what you've shipped, not just what you studied
  • A hunger to learn and an ego small enough to admit when you don't know something
  • Grit. You don't give up when things get hard. You Google, you ask questions, you figure it out
More about this role

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.
