- As a backend engineer, you'll work directly on our AI orchestration systems to enable reliable, scalable, durable workflow execution across desktop and web.
Responsibilities

- Design and implement services that integrate with Sola AI models to generate workflows, gain insights, and drive adaptive execution logic
- building reliable, deterministic execution on top of non-deterministic AI models.
- You'll collaborate with our frontend team to surface that to the user in a way that is easy and intuitive.
Requirements
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can ship fast and solve problems end-to-end
- You have hands-on experience operating at an early stage startup where ownership and execution in the face of ambiguity were essential
