About us
We are CargoKite, a Munich-based startup developing a purpose-built ‘last-mile’ container vessel engineered around wind as its primary propulsion source. Through kite-based propulsion and semi-autonomous operation, we significantly reduce fuel consumption and crew cost while maintaining competitive speed and reliability. We are originally a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich and hold a passion towards our goal of decarbonizing global shipping. With our high-tech wind powered vessel we help commercial shipping companies to reduce operating costs, cut emissions and enable a more individual and visable shipping service. After multiple successful funding rounds with top-tier international investors across the US and Europe, we are now looking to grow our world-class team.
At CargoKite, we believe that diversity and equal opportunity are key to success. Therefore, we create an inclusive environment for all employees and are open to diverse applications, regardless of age, skin color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other legally protected characteristics.
Do I need to meet all the requirements to apply?
Studies by several different sources have shown that, on average, men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the application requirements. In contrast, women/non-binary people will seek to match a much higher percentage of the requirements before applying.
We encourage everyone to apply and give us a chance to evaluate your skills and experience. We are all learning on the job, and although the listing above has been carefully compiled, we are also open-minded and interested to hear about the value you can bring to the role and to us as a company.
