The Role

About Wing: 

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on three continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. To do this, we must build a workforce that's representative of the global communities that we serve. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

In this role, you will:

Collaborate with our team to design, develop, and test innovative solutions that directly influence how we manage fleet inventory, streamline aircraft logistics, and address the challenges of autonomous flight.

  • Experience/comfort with C++
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • Willingness to learn
  • Passion about logistics management.

This is your chance to:
