Director of Software
Skyways, Austin, TX
The role
As Director of Software, you will own the software behind Skyways aircraft flying real missions today.
You will lead execution across autonomy, SkyNav, and the internal tools that support flight operations, production aircraft, and customer deployments. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can set direction, build the team, create the roadmap, and still go deep technically when the hardest problems need direct ownership.
The role sits at the intersection of software, aircraft, operators, and customers. You will work closely with flight, hardware, manufacturing, and operations to turn real-world constraints into reliable software that scales from live deployments to larger autonomous fleets.

-
Own software execution and the software roadmap across autonomy, SkyNav, and the internal tools that support aircraft flying today
-
Build, lead, and develop the software team, including hiring, performance, growth, and the tech-lead or management layer as the team scales
