Senior Full Stack Engineer

Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long range cargo aircraft. Founded in 2017, the company has spent nearly a decade developing and deploying autonomous logistics systems for real world operations. Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, and V3 has a maximum range of well over 1,000 miles, a maximum useful load of 100 lbs, and a maximum endurance of nearly 20 hours. Both use a hybrid electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure. Today, Skyways aircraft fly revenue missions for commercial customers across three continents. We are scaling full rate production and building toward large fleets of autonomous cargo aircraft. Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M AFWERX STRATFI award from the U.S. Air Force, Skyways is creating a new form of transportation to advance our civilization from Austin, Texas. The Opportunity Skyways is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to own the path data takes from the aircraft to the operator. You will write C++ in our ArduPilot fork, build the high throughput Python services and telemetry hub behind it, and ship features in SkyNav when the work calls for it. You will use modern AI tools and applied AI techniques to move faster and improve autonomous operations. This role is ideal for a broad, hands on engineer who wants to ship software that flies.
