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.
If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is the salary range below + bonus + equity + benefits.

We are looking for people who are capable of developing highly practical algorithmic solutions to address operational needs for our drone delivery system.
