Technical Product Manager

tldr;

Sola is looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead the development of AI-powered features from idea to launch. You’ll work closely with the CEO, designer, and engineering team to define roadmap, shape product direction, and drive execution on features that solve real customer problems.

The right candidate has strong product instincts, technical profiency, and a bias toward clear decisions and fast execution. You take full ownership, bridging technical depth with product clarity, with the ability to speak both for users and on behalf of engineering.

You should also bring a high bar for product taste and obsess over UX details.

What we're doing

Sola is building an agentic automation platform to support the enterprises of tomorrow. In order to deliver the experience we want, we’ve reimagined enterprise process automation to effortlessly and safely apply foundation AI models at scale across web and desktop interfaces.

Some topics we’ve gone deep on include AI-enabled error correction algorithms, Markov Decision Models using AI inputs, agentic workflow orchestrators, AI desktop infrastructure, and more.

In just one year, Sola has been adopted by Fortune 500 companies, top U.S. law firms, and some of the largest private enterprises across industries like finance, healthcare, legal, and supply chain.

Our team is based in NYC and includes industry leaders who have built and scaled businesses, contributed to the largest quantitative funds, crypto projects, and research labs, and have been founders themselves. We’ve raised our Series A from a Tier-1 VC and Conviction, with additional backing from the founders and CEOs of Dropbox, Zoom, Zapier, Scale, and more.

Sola’s workflow automation product is just the first step – our hardest challenges lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s most critical automation problems, we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are

Sola was founded in 2023 by Jessica Wu and Neil Deshmukh, who were previously at MIT and have experienced firsthand the RPA pain point within their previous experiences in finance and healthcare (prev. at IBM-Watson, MGH, BWH, Citadel Securities, Goldentree AM), and have extensive research experience in relevant areas (published in NeurIps/IEEE for research on multimodal models, computer vision, and robotics).

We’ve most recently raised a Series A from a Tier-1 VC and Conviction, with additional backing from Y Combinator (S23 batch) and the founders and CEOs of Dropbox, Zoom, Zapier, Scale, and more.

What you’ll be doing

As a Technical Product Manager, you will:

• Work closely with the CEO, designer, and engineering team to define strategy and execution for high-impact features

• Build, own, and maintain the product roadmap, balancing near-term priorities with long-term vision

• Drive features end-to-end: define requirements, write clear specs, align stakeholders, and ensure smooth communication between design, engineering, and go-to-market

• Talk to users regularly to understand pain points, gather feedback, and identify opportunities to deliver more value

• Stay sharp on emerging AI capabilities and help the team prioritize what’s valuable, feasible, and differentiated

• Help shape the internal tooling, metrics, and feedback loops that support rapid iteration and high-quality decision-making

Qualifications

We are looking for applicants with these skills:

• 4+ years of product management experience working on technical products, ideally with some time at an early-stage startup

• Prior track record of shipping 0 → 1, user-facing features that required close collaboration with engineering and design

• Sharp product judgment with a high bar for quality and UX, combined with strong technical fluency

• Clear, concise communicator who can bring structure to ambiguity and drive alignment across technical and non-technical teams. You can represent engineering tradeoffs clearly and earn the trust of multiple stakeholders.

• Bias toward speed, ownership, and high-quality decision-making in fast-moving environments

• Bonus: experience with AI/ML products, automation software, or internal tools with strong end-user requirements or enterprise customers

• Must be available in NYC
