Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Wheely as an employer.

What you need

  • 3+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable backend services
  • In-depth knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)
  • Experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka
  • Ability to write high-quality, performant code primarily in Go or another strong programming language (Python, C++, Java, Ruby)
  • Experience with TDD, DDD, and continuous integration and delivery

What you get

  • Office-based role in West London, four days a week with flexible start and finish times, plus one remote day of your choice
  • Salary: £90,000 – £120,000
  • Employee stock options plan
  • Private medical and dental insurance
  • Life and critical illness cover
  • Latest-generation MacBook Pro and 4k display

Worth weighing

  • The role requires strong foundational engineering skills as the company is migrating away from a Ruby monolith to a Go-based architecture.
  • The tech stack includes both modern technologies (Go, AWS, Kubernetes) and legacy systems, which may involve maintenance work.
  • The office-based requirement may limit flexibility for fully remote candidates.
