About this job

About Solvea

Solvea is building simulations for high-stakes decisions. In our rapidly changing world, leaders are forced to act with imperfect information. Solvea helps them move with conviction by simulating these high-stakes decisions so they better understand how and why their decisions will ripple across society. Our mission is to predict the outcome of every decision.

In <1 year, we’ve 10x-ed revenue with customer demand outstripping our pace of deployment. We’ve built proprietary models that work across the lifecycle of strategic decisions that are live in deployment every day. Most importantly, we have won the trust of dozens of clients who continue to refer us organically to their peers even as we remain in stealth.

We are hiring the last few members of the founding team to help us shape the product and work with our rapidly expanding client base, as we prepare to scale. You’ll push, and be pushed by our incredibly talent dense team. Founding Principals are from leading consulting firms with experience working on the most complex decisions. Founding Members of Technical Staff have worked on problems at scale (Google, Microsoft, Uber) and on cutting-edge research (Kaggle top 100).

This role is a launchpad for future founders or Solvea leaders. High-intensity, in-person environment in San Francisco, 6 days a week, with top-of-market comp. We move fast and the bar is high - join us and make a difference.

Our Philosophy on Working Culture

  • We are high autonomy - you will operate with incredible scope of responsibility from day 1

  • We think from first principles - reinventing how work should be done requires reasoning about why we do things, and what we are trying to achieve

  • We operate across domains - if you haven’t already, you will develop technical skills as you partner with our builders operating at the frontier of AI-Native companies

  • Commitment - You are individually intense, learn rapidly and recognize the momentous opportunity ahead to shape the world

  • Culture - You are low ego, earn the right through action, and want to elevate your teammates to win together
