Luxury ride-hailing platform with privacy-first architecture and concierge services
Wheely operates a luxury mobility platform across London, Paris, and Dubai, built on a polyglot stack (Python, Go, C++, Ruby) running Kafka, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL. The company is actively decomposing a Ruby monolith into microservices while adopting Kotlin Multiplatform—typical signals of scaling from single-region to multi-city operations. Hiring is ops-heavy (23 roles) relative to engineering (10), reflecting the operational complexity of managing chauffeur fleets, licensing, and service standards across geographies.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Sales, Technical Lead, Tech Lead, CRM Lead
