About the role
Wanderlog helps make leisure travel easier. We believe that travel makes the world better, and are building tools that lower the bar to it. Our first product is a Google Docs for planning travel and sharing recommendations. We're now the top-ranked app on the Android Play Store for terms like "itinerary" and "trip planner", and on Google for terms like "travel planner" and "itinerary planner". Even during COVID, we've seen our userbase grow.
Our founders are twin brothers. Peter worked as an engineer at Stripe and a consultant at McKinsey, and Harry as a product manager at Google. We're an engineering and product-driven team: the founders studied computer science at Yale, and have built successful, bootstrapped travel companies (BookWithMatrix and All the Flight Deals) with products people love before starting Wanderlog.
We now serve 10,000s of travelers a month, and are a team of 7, including Namphuong, a former Doordash designer, (another) Peter, a full-year intern from Brown University, and Arthur, who'd tutored numerous CS students before striking out on his own!
We also love traveling. Whether it's a short hop to Austin, Seattle, or New Orleans; or a longer jaunt to Australia, Hawaii, or Banff National Park (all places the team's traveled to in the past year!), travel broadens our horizons, builds empathy, and challenges us to grow. We're working to bring these experiences to more of the world.
We're looking to hire a full-stack engineer to help us build out the future of travel planning. As an engineer, you will:
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 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.
