At Skyways, we are building the future of air transportation with fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Backed by significant funding, including a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we operate at the intersection of commercial and defense markets. We have designed, built, and flown aircraft with real customers and government partners, and are now entering the next phase of the company: scaling toward production.
Based in Austin, TX and supported by top investors including Y Combinator, Skyways blends rapid iteration with real world deployment. We design, test, and operate our systems in the field, then bring those learnings directly back into engineering and product decisions. As we grow, we are looking for builders and leaders who want real ownership, technical depth, and the opportunity to help take an aircraft from successful deployments to full production.
If you're excited about Skyways and think you can help, send us your resume, portfolio, or even a quick note telling us what you'd want to work on. We read every submission.
Let’s build the future of flight together!Maybe you don’t see a role that matches your background exactly, but you’re excited by what we’re doing. You love hard problems, real-world systems, and high-leverage impact. An engineer who wants to see your designs fly. A builder who thrives on autonomy and ownership. A marketer or storyteller who can shape how the world sees what we do. An operator who makes chaos run on rails. A person who gets up in the morning thinking, “How do we make the future real?” Real tech, real customers — Our aircraft fly real missions today. Zero-to-one energy — We move fast and build things that matter. Small team, big ownership — Every person shapes the product and the culture. Mission-driven — We believe autonomy in the air will transform how civilization moves.
