The team

Our engineers come from top-tier programs and share a common conviction: technology should serve our clients' autonomy, not create new dependencies.

We deliberately maintain a tight team of senior profiles. Every Pilae engineer masters the entire chain, from infrastructure to AI deployment, including data pipelines.

We work in French, English, German, and Italian. Because European digital sovereignty is also built in our clients' language.

Our mission

Large enterprises, financial institutions, and international organizations want to integrate the best open source tools, orchestrate their data, and deploy AI. But they are held back by two obstacles: technical complexity and the fear of losing control of their data.

Pilae exists to solve this equation. We provide the infrastructure, the software layer, and the human expertise so our clients benefit from the technological power of tech giants, with the guarantee of 100% European sovereignty.
