Senior Backend Engineer (Golang)

At Wheely, we're a luxury brand on the outside, but a technology company on the inside, building the world's first Luxury-as-a-Service. We believe that time is the ultimate luxury and that modern engineering and design, combined with the industry’s highest standards of service, can unlock an unparalleled experience for our customers.

More than 40% of our team works in product & engineering, and both Wheely founders are technical. We are also unapologetically design centric. It’s not about A/B testing one hundred shades of blue, but crafting the perfect shade. We also take a privacy-first approach and believe that where people travel, and who they travel with, is at their discretion. 

We have refused government requests to hand over journey data, and are currently developing bespoke technology to put our clients’ movements beyond even our own reach.

Backed by leading global investors, Wheely is poised for the next phase of our journey. Over the next 5-10 years, we plan to offer a full portfolio of luxury services and expand into more international cities, building on our success in London, Paris, and Dubai.

As a luxury chauffeur company, we are aiming to provide exceptional ground transportation services to companies globally in addition to our world-renowned private passenger service and to establish Wheely as a premier service provider in the B2B segment. Our all-in-one platform offers a wide range of options for managing employees’ and businesses’ customers’ trips and expenses. By partnering with hotels and business jet companies, we aim to satisfy all of our clients’ needs, from their arrival to any transfers within the city. The Wheely for Business team is responsible for three products: the B2B Portal, the Hospitality product, and a range of exclusive products for our top clients.

We are looking for a Golang Backend Engineer to join the Wheely for Business team and help us integrate all our products into a cohesive platform and collaborate with other teams to share the best B2B features with B2C. Additionally, we are committed to modernizing and automatization of our existing processes, such as company registration, personalized onboarding, platform usage, invoicing, billing, and off-boarding, in order to improve the overall customer experience.
