About SkyLink

SkyLink is building the corporate travel chatbot that allows travelers and arrangers to book and manage travel in enterprise chat channels, Slack & Teams, as if they're speaking to a corporate travel agent. Leveraging the latest in LLMs and generative AI, SkyLink’s workflows can handle simple or complex travel itineraries and changes using natural language. We serve enterprises and Travel Management Companies to save millions in excess corporate travel costs, increase online booking throughput, and delight users who have been stuck with decade old booking tools.

We are backed by Y Combinator, Menlo Ventures, Human Capital, and Fortune 50 CEOs. Our board of advisors includes former CEOs of Global Travel companies.

About You

You are a rockstar engineer who loves to build complex products and systems from the ground up. You are a team player who enjoys collaborative environments but is not afraid to voice their opinion. You have a strong architectural sense and have a demonstrated ability to turn architecture into code. You thrive in ambiguous settings and know how to balance tech debt and "doing things right". You want to be part of a small, fast-paced, and energetic team looking to impact global travel.

  • Wants to deeply understand technical domains and work on large-scale challenges
  • Has experience with or interest in AI and large language models
  • Wants ownership and autonomy in a role that will supercharge your growth both professionally and personally

You will:

  • Design and implement database models that scale across our various customers and their systems
  • Implement algorithms to determine ideal travel itineraries for corporate travelers.
