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
