Job description

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 Frontend Engineer to own SkyNav, the desktop app our operators use to plan missions, watch live telemetry and run the fleet. If it's on an operator's screen, it's yours.

You will build the 3D mapping, mission planning and fleet monitoring tools in Electron, React and TypeScript, and make sure they hold up during real flight deployments. Your work directly shapes how operators interact with aircraft and how autonomous missions run at scale.

You will work closely with autonomy, flight operations and hardware teams, and with the engineers building the services behind SkyNav, to ship reliable tools that operators trust in the field.
