Wander is revolutionizing the short-term rental industry by curating every aspect of the guest experience—from smart homes to an intuitive booking platform. WanderOS is their "Shopify for hospitality," enabling property managers to run direct-booking sites, sync inventory from their PMS, process payments, and manage guests. It's the fastest-growing part of Wander and the foundation for all other products.
As a Senior Backend Engineer on the WanderOS team, you will own core backend services: PMS integrations and sync, availability and pricing pipelines, booking and payments, and the APIs powering host dashboards and direct-booking sites. This is high-leverage, high-ownership work where correctness and observability are as critical as speed—bugs here mean hosts lose bookings.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and ship TypeScript services and APIs handling bookings, quotes, availability, payouts, and site provisioning
- Build and harden PMS integrations (Guesty, Hostaway, OwnerRez, Lodgify, Streamline, Track, Escapia, and more), including webhooks, rate-limit handling, and reconciliation
- Scale ingestion and sync pipelines processing hundreds of thousands of availability records per hour without drift or double-bookings
- Model data in Postgres with Prisma; use Redis, Kafka, and Temporal for queues, caching, and durable workflows
- Own reliability end-to-end: alerting, tracing, runbooks, and on-call for shipped services
- Work directly with hosts, ops, and sales to turn customer pain into shipped fixes, often within the same week
- Use AI tooling aggressively in your workflow and write code and tests that hold up when a large share of the codebase is AI-assisted
The team is remote-first, backed by top-tier investors, and led by experienced startup veterans united by passion for travel, technology, and creating unforgettable experiences.
