About SkillReal
SkillReal is a flat R&D organization where builders take ownership. We operate with minimal hierarchy; each engineer acts as a squad lead responsible for business and product components. We work closely across all functions—Product, Program, Operations, QA, and Algorithms—to ship products that matter.

You’ll drive architectural decisions, solve hard engineering problems, and collaborate cross-functionally to take products from concept to production. You’re experienced with AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor), deep tech systems, and comfortable moving fast in startup environments.
