Salary: Competitive, based on experience
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a builder - a curious, motivated, product-oriented engineer who loves crafting practical, scalable software that delivers real-world value. You’ll join a lean, fast-moving team at Yonder (a TOMIS company), where AI meets adventure.
Our platform powers chat automation, digital marketing, and customer engagement tools for tour operators and outdoor experience brands around the world. We’re scaling fast, and we need someone who can own the full stack - from backend architecture to frontend UX - and thrive in the wild terrain of a high-growth SaaS company.
If you get excited about building software solutions end-to-end, AI integration, and shipping features that make customers say “damn, that’s slick,” this might be your new favorite job.
Role & Responsibilities
- Own new and existing features end-to-end. This includes understanding the user pain points, identifying a technical solution, designing, building, documenting, testing, supporting and educating.
- Creating internal reporting tools to monitor performance of the application and insight into customer usage.
- Continuously learn and adapt - AI mastery is a must. We use Cursor, but if you find another flow that works for you, that’s just fine!
- Work with third-party platforms to build and maintain integrations. This may include emails, meetings, etc.
- It should go without saying, but we DO care about code quality! Your code should always keep future objectives and developers in mind.
- Contribute to product strategy, helping prioritize engineering work that moves the business forward.
- Occasional customer support.
Qualifications & Requirements
- 3+ years of professional full-stack development experience, ideally within a startup environment or SaaS company.
- Strong proficiency with React, especially prior to v18.
- Significant Python and/or PHP experience (Laravel, Django, Flask).
- Experience with both SQL and non-SQL databases. We use MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar), Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architecture.
- You have opinions when it comes to structuring internal APIs for a React frontend.
- You are comfortable working in ambiguity. You can take loosely scoped User Stories and turn them into a feature that delights users.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action - you don’t wait to be told what’s broken; you find and fix it.
- Bonus Points:
- Experience with AI integrations (OpenAI, vector databases, LangChain, etc.)
- Experience with messaging or communications platforms (Gmail API, Twilio, WhatsApp Business, etc.)
- Familiarity with analytics tools (PostHog, Segment, or similar).
Why Yonder

Yonder is the SaaS spin-off of TOMIS, a Montana-based leader in marketing tech for tours and activities. You’ll work alongside a small team of ambitious humans (and a few dogs) who value autonomy, curiosity, and creating meaningful impact.
We believe in AI-driven innovation, honest work, and good energy - and we’re just getting started.
