We’re an engineering and product-heavy team. Travel is something everyone does, and we love using the tools we build. A typical week's work involves talking to users, prioritizing tasks on a kanban, designing on Figma, and building and shipping them continuously.We believe in work-life balance despite being a fast-paced week. We work normal hours and make time for enjoying life with friends and family. We love travel and believe it rejuvenates us and makes us better people, and have travel off-sites every 6 months where the goal is to just enjoy visiting a new place and use the tools we've built.We have a small, friendly, and capable team. We’ve hired strictly and deliberately to create a small team that we enjoy working with. Despite being remote, we try to replicate the community of being in person a bit by having a casual part of our standup where we talk about our lives outside of work and play games together every 2 weeks on Thursday afternoons.The founders are twin brothers — Peter worked as an engineer at Stripe and a consultant at McKinsey, and Harry as a product manager at Google. They 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.
