About the position
Wing is looking for an Infrastructure Software Engineer to join our Aircraft Infrastructure team. This role will be hybrid based in Palo Alto, CA. Aircraft Infrastructure is part of Wing's Delivery Network team focused on aircraft command and control, lifecycle event automation, and software configuration management. We build highly reliable systems that reduce the amount of human time spent deploying and running our drone delivery network. Our technology is responsible for provisioning aircraft with credentials, software, and data assets. We also run the central state machine that governs aircraft behavior, and a telemetry analysis and alerting system to detect problems in the network and alert humans. Additionally, we build tooling for Wing's developers and flight operations teams to build, test, and deploy high quality software with confidence in a safety critical and regulatory controlled environment. Unlike many software jobs, our technology must run out in the harsh physical world, spanning diverse computer architectures and communicating over high latency, high error, open-Internet connections. A key part of this role is to be flexible and to reason about this hostile landscape, keeping security, scalability, and usability in mind.
Responsibilities
- Implement high quality infrastructure that supports Wing's ever-growing fleet of aircraft, and the people that manage them
- Partner with developers, simulation engineers, and regulatory staff to build software validation, approval, and rollout systems
- Partner with the Wing security team to ensure our aircraft and communication links are secure and therefore safe to fly
- Improve command and control links for a fleet of autonomous aircraft, improving resource flow around the network and increasing observability and debuggability
- Write excellent documentation to expand the company's knowledge base, make it easy for client teams to integrate with our products, and support future development within our codebase
Requirements
- 2+ years professional experience designing and developing software
- BA/BS in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
