How often are new jobs added?

New internships are added continuously throughout the day. We monitor company career pages and hiring tools in real time, so most roles appear on InternshipsHQ shortly after they’re posted.

Why can I only view a limited number per day on the free plan?

The free plan is designed to let you explore the platform and see how fresh the listings are. Limits help us prioritize serious applicants and keep the signal high. Pro removes these limits and gives you full access.

What sources do you pull internships from?

We source internships directly from company career pages, startup hiring platforms, and applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and others. This helps us surface roles earlier and avoid repost-heavy job boards.

Are these internships legitimate?

Yes. We actively filter out expired, duplicate, misleading, and low-quality listings. Each role is checked for legitimacy and posting freshness so you’re not wasting time on dead or fake opportunities.

Can I filter by location, experience level, remote, or salary?

Yes. You can filter internships by role, location, experience level, remote or hybrid status, and pay when available. Pro users get access to more advanced and saved filters.

Why are early alerts so important?

For internships, timing matters more than volume. Most callbacks happen when roles are still new and applicant pools are small. Early alerts help you apply before listings get flooded.

Do you show salary or pay information?

When companies include pay information, we display it clearly. Not all internships list salary upfront, but we prioritize transparency whenever the data is available.

Is InternshipsHQ suitable for senior or experienced roles?

InternshipsHQ is primarily built for internships, entry-level, and early-career roles. If you’re looking for senior or leadership positions, you may find limited results here.

About The Company

Since 2002, Wing has served discerning clients through a comprehensive array of aviation services that encompass aircraft management and jet charter.

About the Role

About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics.

We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two 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. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

Design, develop, and test backend software solutions in C++ that directly impact how we manage our delivery network topology, allocate fleet resources, and coordinate autonomous flight operations.
Build and enhance core backend services and APIs that manage geospatial network locations and turn requests to move aircraft or packages into safe, coordinated drone missions.
Collaborate with engineers across Execution & Topology and partner teams to build reliable features, integrate seamlessly with existing distributed systems, and improve developer and operational workflows.
Tackle the unique, real-world challenges of autonomous drone delivery by writing well-tested, maintainable production code that enables our network to adapt to dynamic physical environments.

What You’ll Need:

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, graduating between December 2027 and August 2028
Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design
Ability to read and understand C++ (experience with C++ preferred)
