What we do:
At Wonder & Wander, we're a small band π΅ of engineers, design & product consultants who want π to take the skills we've learned in silicon valley & help the little guys (aka. anyone trying to make the world a better place). ππ
Our Stage:
We're in full fledged startup mode though, so we don't exactly know every task you'll do - so if you π don't like that ππΌπ this is not for you. But we move fast, we love hanging out, we have high trust, π« and are trying to take our silicon valley tech backgrounds & experience & use πͺ them for good.
Our Core Values:
We live & breathe these - so only apply if they apply to you ;)
π 1.We Get to Do This
- Things will be hard but we have a joy filled spirit serving our customers. At the end of the day not many get to go on a journey like this.
β 2. Skin in the Game (aka. Extreme Ownership?)
- The Navy SEALs train this discipline for a reason. If we see something wrong we leave it better than we found it, we are rewarded for bringing up problems with a solution, and we get things done.
π 3. Transparency by Default
- Our company is built on trust and when we lead with vulnerability everyone wins.

More Info on the team & company:
And if you made it this far & are excited to join, here's some of the qualities you embody:
* Take on π― information fast, and PROCESS it fast π¨
* You kind of thrive in fast-paced environments
* Are curious about the WHY we do πΆββοΈ things, but balance it constantly with an ability to make decisions on limited amounts of information (we're a startup and constraints breed creativity for us).
* Okay with a little Chaos (the founder had ADHD) but π€ͺ enjoy bringing order & process π out of chaos
* Are organized & like creating systems for things, π so you don't have to do things manually
* Are familiar with Notion, Slack, Google π₯½ Docs
* Naturally separate priorities from details/clutter (Think 80/20 principle) * Enjoy π― on π demand strategizing and collaboration, with Jon (on the fly, or just on their own for π
fun)
* Love learning π and are always willing to learn π§ (b/c Jonβs so full of great information)
* But be NOT afraid to take βΏ the lead sometimes, and close off a topic if there's a higher priority (Even if that's with the founder, which is often hard.)
Some Examples of Tasks and What your day could look like:
- Have experience with an owner/boss who has had ADHD (this is huge! I need someone who can understand how ADHD brains work and work with me, to get a better future)
- Help plan a client meeting with questions to ask, etc. Working on our google doc
- Sit with me for 30 min to plan out a possible STRATEGY plan (i came up with most of it, but she was a really good strategizing partner)
- Take great meeting notes while in the call as well, with clear action items for founders
- Follow up with the founders afterwards and walked through with me on zoom, what tasks need to get done, etc.
- Start day off with clear top prioritized action items
- Be entrusted with both founders emails and calendars
Iβm in! How do I apply?

- Of the list of qualities we put in the job posting, we'd love to hear the top 3 that you embody w/ clear examples demonstrating that in your day to day life!
- What are your career goals?
- What are you good at professionally?
- What are you not good at or not interested in doing professionally?
- Who were your last 5 bosses and how would they each rate your performance on a 1-10 scale if we talk to them?
- Anything else you feel would be essential for us to know? (Ex. For me, @Jon Chui, the founder, it might be that I have ADHD & need to work with ppl who understand and can make that)
Here's a loom from me to go through the 8 questions and what we're looking for!

Tips on Applying
- Weβve found putting it in a google doc, notion helps alot for structuring. Then, if you send that doc to us in your application, double brownie points!
- The most important is that through all the answers, you demonstrate via examples the answers. ex. βI helped my boss organize things and i love organizeβ doesnβt help. vs.
- βMy boss always had ideas and could never organize. So i forced him to send me looms, and i wrote the most important things down for him in a notion template, to send them back to him. Then i gave him his own kanban, and we worked every morning to organize his top 3 priorities for that day)
