Design and implement SkyPilot's commercial multicloud platform: architect control and data plane separation, tenant/user management, scaling, monitoring, and alerting. Build production-grade cloud-native platform services and APIs using Go, Kubernetes, gRPC, PostgreSQL, and Terraform, prioritizing reliability, security, and great user experience.
SkyPilot is building the future of multicloud AI infra. We are the Berkeley founding team commercializing SkyPilot (9.5K+ GitHub stars, 200+contributors), to enable AI to run on different cloud infrastructures in a portable, cost-optimizing, and highly available way.
SkyPilot is deployed at 100s of companies, including Fortune 500s and top AI-natives (Shopify, Redis, Abridge, Hippocratic, Applied Compute, etc.). In 2025, adoption grew >600%, now launching more GPUs per month than the biggest neocloud’s fleet. Currently in stealth, SkyPilot is founded in 2024 by UC Berkeley PhDs and professors (incl. Databricks cofounders). We’re building a top-tier engineering team, with current talent from Databricks, Google, Crusoe, ByteDance, and PingCap.
