About us
We are CargoKite a Munich-based early-stage startup developing a new wind-powered ship class for oversea transportation of freight. We are a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich and aim to decarbonize global shipping. With our high-tech sailing ship we help commercial shipping companies to reduce operating costs cut emissions and enable a more individual shipping service. After recently closing our seed funding round with international top-tier investors from the US and Europe we are now looking to grow our world-class crew!
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 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.
