Description

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. From on-demand chauffeuring, concierge service, to our best-in-class app, we exist to help our clients reclaim their time by connecting them to the places and people that matter.

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.

The Supply team carries a triad of responsibilities: managing the chauffeur app, the web-based sign-up process culminating in accreditation at the Wheely Academy, and the back-office tools for our Operations and Customer Experience teams.

The chauffeur app is instrumental in shaping the day-to-day experiences of thousands of chauffeurs across four countries. It makes their daily jobs easier and helps them deliver a luxury service to our passengers. Offering an outstanding product experience is essential to growing, retaining and engaging our chauffeur network. 

We are looking for a Golang Backend Engineer to join the Supply team, who will play a crucial role in enhancing our service quality by developing our domain services for partners and chauffeurs.

Responsibilities

  • Help to build the architecture for new products and services to support the company's strategy for scalable and repeatable growth in EMEA 
  • Interact with mobile engineers and improve the API for mobile applications, including the WebSocket communication
  • Maintain a regular flow of medium-sized feature deliveries that greatly help to increase the quality of service and the experience of our chauffeurs and, therefore, of our customers
  • Contribute to our architectural & technical plans to improve our backend: we are actively migrating from the Ruby monolith to Go services

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in the development of web-based applications with Golang (experience with Ruby or Node.js will be beneficial)
  • Proficient with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or other major database solutions
  • Has experience with distributed task queues for asynchronous service interactions
  • Team player with strong and effective interpersonal and communication skills (both written and verbal) with a willingness to assume responsibility
  • Adept at documenting efforts, actions, and results

Our current stack: Go microservices, shrinking Ruby monorepository, Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Thrift, Redis, AWS, Terraform, K8S, Jenkins.
