Role
Who you are
- You are ambitious and always looking for ways to improve. For most engineers, this role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at. Don’t rest on your past achievements — expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Wonderly. You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
- You can take ownership of projects and lead them to completion while dealing with ambiguity and finding the right balance between speed and quality. You don’t need every detail and edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
- You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex product and code base. You aren’t afraid to tackle any part of the stack or learn a new unfamiliar technology. You are comfortable with the fact that working in a startup means working around tech debt
- You have a strong understanding of how you can create the most impact, and don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter. You’re excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the coolest technical challenges
- You can collaborate effectively with other talented engineers and work well in an environment where the best ideas win. The median engineer at Wonde has 9 years experience. You should expect your ideas to get challenged and to learn a lot from your coworkers
- We prefer candidates who are familiar with the Javascript ecosystem and can hit the ground running when they join us. We don’t expect you to know all of our technologies, but enough of them to pick up the rest quickly. Our tech stack: C#, .NET, React, React Query, Postgres, Temporal
What the job involves
- Wonderly is hiring an experienced software engineer who can make key technical decisions and implement large software projects to help Wonderly scale the next 2 orders of magnitude. The role may be frontend, backend, or full-stack, whichever suits your background
- We work hard to ensure Wonderly’s engineering team is one of the highest talent-density teams in the world. We have accomplished in weeks or months what it would take larger teams years to do
- There are many initiatives on our product roadmap we know will make Wonderly deliver orders of magnitude more value to customers. As an engineer on our team, you will work on Wonderly's highest impact projects and have ownership over major parts of the product code
Our take
Large companies deploy custom-built agents for everything from sales and marketing to customer support. However, SMBs don’t have the capital, manpower, know-how or time to develop these business-accelerating tools. Wonderly, formerly Motion, is out to change that with its end-to-end AI platform for service businesses.
Currently working with SMBs across a diverse range of industries, Wonderly’s product offers web-building services, AI lead generation, sales, project management and communication tools, all for B2C companies looking to boost their revenue.
Since rebranding from its project management app, Motion, Wonderly has expanded its concept of time-saving for businesses and, in just two years, has created a tool that’s attracted hundreds of customers. Operating on the principle that “if you can explain your business to a neighbor, you can turn on Wonderly”, it’s created what could be a game-changer for the B2C and SMBs out there that feel the AI boom has left them behind.
