What to Expect

Wonderist Agency is a full-service marketing agency that supports 1,200+ dentists around the country. We pride ourselves on ditching the old fashioned marketing model of stock photos and templated sites. We strive to tell our clients’ stories with bespoke brands, impactful photo and video shoots, and stunning website design (Here is a great example of our work: www.valordentaltx.com)

We’re a team of over 90+ passionate marketers with our headquarters nestled in sunny San Diego. We are walking distance from local hangouts, bars, and the famed Liberty Station. While many companies simply check the required boxes when it comes to culture, a well-balanced team and positive office culture has been the core of our success from the start. We are a social team at heart, and that is one constant that hasn’t changed with all the movement this economy and industry has seen. We have embraced a hybrid work model where local team members come in at least two days a week. This allows us to work from home and have flexibility, without altogether forgoing the excitement and moments of collaboration and inspiration you can only get from in-person time. Not to mention, we also genuinely enjoy spending time together and socializing.

We celebrate new ideas and prioritize a culture of trust and respect where team members can grow and take risks. Each quarter we host events under our four cultural pillars; health & wellness, personal & professional development, social good, and social. We are proud to have been named: San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in: 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Inc 5000 Regionals Fastest Growing Companies in: 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, San Diego Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Inc Best Workplaces list in: 2024 and 2025, and Inc. 5000 for the last 6 years (2019-2025)!

Job Description

As a Software Developer at Wonderist, you'll help build and evolve the in-house platforms and automations that make our agency run — the systems our clients rely on for integrated marketing, the internal tools our team uses to deliver great work, and the AI-powered capabilities we're layering on top of both. You'll work end-to-end: shaping architecture, writing production code, integrating third-party services, designing data models, and shipping things that real teammates and real clients use the next day.

This is a small, high-trust engineering team, so the role is intentionally broad. You'll have significant ownership over what you build and how it evolves. We're looking for an engineer who can get productive in our current stack quickly, but who is also excited to help shape what the stack looks like a year or two from now.

Essential Functions: What You’ll Do

The mix will shift over time, but expect your work to span most or all of the following:

• Platform Engineering: Maintain and extend our multi-tenant web application — the system that powers integrations and CRM capabilities for our clients. Make thoughtful architecture decisions around tenancy, scaling, and performance as our footprint grows.
• Full-stack Application Development: Design, build, and ship production web applications. Own the full lifecycle — architecture through deployment — and contribute to our front-end component system.
• Data and Integrations: Design and maintain the databases, sync flows, webhooks, and background jobs that move information between our systems and the third-party platforms our clients depend on (telephony, messaging, CRM, marketing analytics, scheduling, and practice management tools, among others). Build integrations that are observable, idempotent, and resilient to partial failures.
• AI-powered Systems: Help integrate large language models, embeddings, and vector search into real business workflows — internal copilots, intelligent reporting, classification and prediction, and agentic automations. Build the data foundations that make the rest of the company's information actually usable by AI.
• Automation and Tooling: Replace fragile no-code automations with reliable, well-tested Python services where it matters. Build the internal tooling and dashboards that help client-facing teams move faster and serve clients better.
• Reliabil
