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.
We’re hiring a Product Architect, Payroll to own how Sol thinks about, models, and executes pay. The right person has been a product manager at a payroll company or a payroll administrator with deep product knowledge. They know the domain at depth: multi-state complexity, garnishment sequencing, equity treatment, off-cycle edge cases, the compliance landmines that have humbled better engineers than them. They’re proud of that knowledge. And they’re probably ready to do something with it that their current system won’t let them.
One of Sol’s core values is imagination – the conviction that payroll doesn’t have to work the way it always has. AI and new technologies are opening up design possibilities that weren’t available before. We’re looking for someone who can hold deep payroll expertise and still ask “why does it work this way?” and genuinely mean it.
At Sol, this role owns the payroll domain and shapes how it’s built. That means defining the data model, the compliance architecture, and how payroll connects to every other employment event across a worker’s lifecycle – compensation changes, leave, time off, equity vesting, benefits deductions. You’re not inheriting an engine. You’re designing one, in close partnership with engineering and informed by real customer complexity from day one.
