Requirements
- Are a Javascript developer comfortable with React and/or React Native.
- 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Be fast and nimble: figure out the best way to build new features at lowest cost in time and future technical debt.
Other
- if you’re outside of the Americas timezones, unfortunately, we’re only hiring for engineers with at least some timezone overlap.
- Are a product person: you’ve built products end-to-end before, and really care about the people who use them.
- 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.
- This position is a full-time role reporting to the cofounders at Wanderlog.
