Wander, San Francisco, California, United States, 94102
Launch Integrations Engineer (TypeScript)
Welcome to the Launch Team
we're the technical heartbeat of getting new homes online. When a home signs, we make sure our systems are wired up, integrations are clean, and the magic behind the scenes just works. This isn't a heads-down coding role
this is fast-paced, high-ownership engineering where you're shipping daily, debugging across systems, and building tools that help us move faster as a company. What You'll Do
You'll own and build the infrastructure that powers: Property Management Software (PMS) integrations (e.g. Track, Streamline, Guesty) Listing automation (pulling property data, syncing reservations, publishing listings) Cross-functional tools that help ops launch homes with speed and precision You'll: Write scalable, maintainable TypeScript (Node.js) Debug third-party APIs and handle async, flaky, real-world data with grace Work closely with our ops, revenue, and product teams to unblock launches Build internal dashboards, scripts, or quick tools that reduce time-to-live Handle edge cases no one predicted
because 99% of launches aren't straightforward Is This You?
You're energized by unblocking people
especially in fast-moving ops environments You love solving weird API edge cases You treat internal tooling with the same care as customer-facing products You're fluent in JavaScript/TypeScript and comfortable working across the stack (even if focused on backend) You don't mind wearing a few hats
launch problems are full-stack by nature Education & Experience
25 years experience in software engineering roles, preferably in startups or SaaS Proven experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and REST APIs Bonus: Experience working with PMS platforms (Guesty, Track, etc.) or third-party integrations Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience Tech Stack
Languages: TypeScript (Node.js), some Python Data: PostgreSQL, Supabase, JSON APIs Infra: Vercel, serverless functions, CRON jobs, GitHub Actions Tools: Slack, Notion, Linear, Retool (or similar internal tooling) Why Join Now?
You're not just writing code
you're removing friction, accelerating speed, and shaping how quickly we scale. If you like tight feedback loops, direct access to the users of your tools, and seeing your work immediately impact revenue
this is for you. Let's launch. Let me know if you'd like a Staff-level or Engineering Manager version too
or if you'd like to reword it for internal mobility at Wander!
