Job description

You’re outside of the Americas timezones? Unfortunately, we’re only hiring for engineers with at least some timezone overlap.

This position is a full-time role reporting to the cofounders at Wanderlog.

What You’ll Do

As an engineer, you’ll be responsible for owning portions of the product. You’ll be expected to:

• Build new features on our website and mobile app. (Our stack is Javascript (Typescript): modern React on the web, React Native on mobile, and Node.js/Express on the server.)
• Design and decide what to build based on what would help travelers and drive growth. You won’t be handed a spec; you’ll be coming up with it!
• Build data pipelines to crawl, process, and synthesize data from various sources around the web.
• Write tests and build out engineering infrastructure. Our code is fully typed (Typescript) and tested.
• Debug and fix bugs and scale the infrastructure as it grows.
• Review code written by other engineers.
• Be fast and nimble: figure out the best way to build new features at lowest cost in time and future technical debt.

What You Might Work On

• New, user‑friendly hotel booking interfaces that make finding a place to stay easier.
• AI‑powered tools that read articles and watch videos for you and summarize the places they mention.
• Improvements to our React Native mobile app so that it runs faster on slower Android phones.
• A Chrome extension to let travelers quickly compare possible places to visit, airfares, and hotels.
• Better invite and collaboration tools to encourage people using Wanderlog to get more friends to join them.
• A better profile page that lets travelers on Wanderlog show off where they’ve been, see how many people they’ve helped, and follow other friends and their trips.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have at least 2 years of experience doing full‑stack, product development work. We have a wide salary range, as we do want to properly accept a range of candidate experiences.
• Are a Javascript developer comfortable with React and/or React Native.
• Are a product person: you’ve built products end‑to‑end before, and really care about the people who use them.
• Are comfortable with picking up various technologies for the task at hand. We quickly evaluate libraries and tools that could help our product, and variously use Redis, Elasticsearch, and Python as needed too.
• Are entrepreneurial: excited about joining a small, high‑growth team and talking to users, doing product and design, and wearing a variety of hats.
• Love travel and believe in it as a positive force personally and for the world.
