Founding Recruiter
Soléa
Founding Recruiter
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.
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.
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 raised 20M+ in funding to date (most recently 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.
As a Founding Recruiter, you will:
- Build and manage full-cycle recruiting pipelines across technical and non-technical roles
- Own sourcing - writing great outreach, tracking funnel performance, and adapting quickly
- Partner directly with hiring managers (including the CEO) to define needs, set strategy, and close top talent
- Clearly communicate Sola's mission and momentum to candidates - getting them excited to join early
- Deliver a thoughtful, high-touch candidate experience from first message to final offer
We are looking for applicants with these skills:
- 2–5 years of in-house recruiting experience, including at least 2 years focused on technical roles
- Proven ability to source and close top engineering talent, especially for hard-to-fill roles
- Are familiar with the AI/ML talent landscape
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Must be available in NYC
Benefits:
Where: Strongly preferred in-person (NYC) with covered relocation. We believe the best work happens in person!
Compensation: We hire exceptional people and pay them well. Every role includes competitive salary and meaningful equity
Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage on par with Big Tech
401k: Easy enrollment with smart options to help you save for the future
Meals: Daily lunches, dinners, and snacks so you can stay focused on work
