At Skyways, we are building a new form of air transportation—what some call the flying car. Backed by fresh funding and a major STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we’re uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of aviation innovation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a breakthrough opportunity to move goods—and soon, people—in ways that are faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before. Unlike anyone else in the industry, our strategy blends rapid iteration with real-world deployment, and it’s already paying off.
Skyways is a fast-growing startup based in Austin, TX, supported by top Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator. Though we’re early-stage, our vehicles are already in production and in the hands of paying commercial customers (see here and here). With robust financial backing and government partnerships accelerating our momentum, there’s never been a better time to join us and help build the future of transportation!
The Opportunity
As a Software Engineer on the Customer Success team, your work will directly ensure that our customers succeed with Skyways’ aircraft. You will build, maintain, and optimize the software that powers flight control, autonomous navigation, and operator applications. This is not an isolated coding role. You will spend time observing and working alongside customers in the field to understand their operations, challenges, and workflows. The feedback you collect will guide your software design decisions and help create solutions that are intuitive, reliable, and impactful.
You will have the chance to see your code in action in real missions, troubleshooting, iterating, and improving the systems that our customers rely on. Travel is part of the job, allowing you to experience firsthand how Skyways aircraft are deployed in commercial and government environments.
