Description
At Skyways we are building a new form of air transportation. Some people call it the flying car. We believe fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles represent a unique opportunity to move things and ultimately people in new, more efficient ways. Our strategy to get there is completely different from the rest of the industry.

Skyways is a startup based in Austin, TX. We are backed by some of the most respected investors in Silicon Valley including YCombinator. Although we consider ourselves early-stage, we already have vehicles in production and in the hands of paying customers (see here and here). Come join us and work on a transportation revolution to advance our civilization!

We are currently looking for a Front End maestro/maestra to join Skyways Software Engineering team. This critical role will build the front end applications that are used by Skyways and its customers. If you're excited about having a massive impact being the first Front End SWE at a growing tech startup and build novel user experiences, we encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities

  • Architect and code responsive front ends that serve as user interfaces for our fleet of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs)
  • Code and maintain Skyways' ground control station (GCS) and other internal software applications
  • Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs and ensure responsiveness of applications across device platforms
  • Be the voice of the front end for the Skyways Software Engineering team, collaborate to implement new and innovative features, enhancements and solutions and fix any website bugs or issues that arise
  • Maintain a clean codebase by doing code reviews, writing tests, utilizing CI
  • Ship software to production on a regular basis

Required skills/experience:

  • BS in Computer Science plus 3 years experience
  • 3+ years of experience in a small company/startup coding customer facing front end applications
  • Highly proficient in Javascript (REACT, Electron), CSS and HTML
  • 3+ years coding mockups and wireframes into elegant and responsive interfaces that meet customer’s requirements
  • A proactive nature that drives code production, asks questions and thinks about how your code fits into the greater picture of Skyways today and into the future

Bonus Skills and Experience

  • Experience working deeper in the code stack (backend)
  • C++ or Python experience
  • Experience with software running on a UAV or robot or other autonomous vehicle
  • Experience in aviation - big plus if you have experience with flight controls and flight theory
  • UI design/project management experience
This is an opportunity to architect the user interfaces for our amazing current and future aircraft (large drones). If you have experience building an end to end UI application and can picture yourself coding in aviation sunglasses 😎, we strongly encourage you to apply!

This position can be remote with occasional travel to Austin TX.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
