## About 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.
