Responsibilities
- Skyways is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to set technical direction for software that flies. You will work across the same stack as the rest of the team, from 3D interfaces in SkyNav, to high throughput Python services, to C++ running in our ArduPilot fork, but at Staff scope: you own the architecture, define the standards, and drive outcomes that span multiple teams. You will identify what needs doing without being told and make every engineer around you more effective. This role is ideal for a deep, hands on engineer who wants their design decisions flying on real aircraft.
