About Wheely
Wheely is redefining premium transportation across major cities in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. We blend cutting-edge technology with the craft of five-star chauffeuring to deliver an experience trusted by more than 100,000 active riders and 1,200 corporate accounts.
We’re a profitable, fast-growing scale-up with $43M raised and over $100M in annual revenue. Having recently launched in New York City, we’re expanding rapidly across the US and EMEA. If you take pride in your craft and want to help shape the next chapter of our growth, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
Our Platform team creates the foundation that allows our entire engineering organisation to move fast. This means building shared tooling, managing migrations (including our move from a Ruby monolith), and evolving our infrastructure.
We’re looking for a Mid/Senior Backend Engineer to join a team that keeps frameworks lean and focuses on what matters: clean, maintainable code, shipped fast with TDD, DDD, and continuous integration and delivery.
We are a Go shop, and while we’re busy migrating away from our Ruby monolith, our stack includes PostgreSQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Redis, gRPC, and Thrift. Everything runs on AWS and Kubernetes, managed via Terraform.
Our interview process includes a recruiter screen, algorithms and live coding. Senior+ candidates also complete a system design section and a structured review of past experience and achievements.
Responsibilities
- Write high-quality, performant code primarily in Go.
- Implement new microservices while helping us responsibly manage and migrate away from legacy services.
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and data scientists to turn abstract requirements into concrete technical designs.
- Ensure our systems stay responsive under heavy load, optimising for both latency and reliability.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience (5+ years for seniors) building and maintaining scalable backend services.
- We use Go. If you know it, great. If not, we’ll interview you in your strongest language (Python, C++, Java, Ruby, etc.). We hire for engineering fundamentals, not syntax.
- In-depth knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) and experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka.
What we Offer
- 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

About the Role:
Wrike’s Backend Reliability (BRE) team is the backbone of our backend infrastructure and the guardian of our uptime. Our mission is to achieve and sustain 99.99% availability while building the tools, components, and safety nets that the entire engineering organization relies on. As a Senior / Staff Backend Engineer on this team, you won’t just close tickets - you’ll architect core reliability solutions that shape how Wrike scales, performs, and recovers from failure.
Your Impact:
- Design, build, and maintain critical reliability components such as HTTP rate limiters, internal DB schema migration tools, circuit breakers, and distributed Redis-based caching.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues, optimize PostgreSQL usage, and ensure our distributed systems remain performant and stable under high load.
- Lead preliminary investigations during severe production incidents: identify likely root causes, assess impact, and propose mitigation options. The long-term fixes are then implemented by the owning team, based on your findings.
- Create scalable, reusable tools and frameworks that help other engineering teams build more resilient services.
- Leverage AI-powered tools and coding agents to accelerate development, analyze architectures, and automate repetitive or error-prone tasks.
- Influence reliability best practices across engineering by sharing knowledge, reviewing designs, and setting high technical standards.
Your Qualifications:
- Strong expertise with Java/JVM, building scalable, high-performance backend systems; open to leveraging other languages when appropriate.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts, including high availability, CAP theorem, and fault tolerance.
- Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and key–value / non-relational storages (Redis).
- Practical experience with containerization and cloud-native environments, including Docker and Kubernetes.
- Hands-on experience with message brokers such as RabbitMQ or Kafka.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, using critical thinking to question assumptions and validate your own decisions.
- Strong written and spoken English skills suitable for collaborating in an international engineering environment.
Standout Qualities:
- Background in infrastructure engineering or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), including infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Experience leading technical initiatives, driving cross-team projects, and mentoring other engineers while remaining an individual contributor.
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring stacks (e.g., Graylog, Zabbix, Grafana) and/or data analytics tools such as BigQuery.
- A strong interest in how complex systems fail and a track record of designing them to recover gracefully.
Team Dynamics:
You will join the Backend Reliability (BRE) team, a small, highly specialized, senior group focused solely on Wrike’s reliability. The team operates as an internal “reliability task force,” partnering closely with product and platform engineering teams across the company. You’ll collaborate with other senior engineers who value autonomy, deep technical discussions, and rigorous engineering practices. The culture is ownership-driven: you are trusted to manage your time, make architectural decisions, and drive initiatives to completion.
Our Work Style:
The BRE team works on core backend and infrastructure services that support millions of users. We operate in a collaborative environment that values clear communication, thoughtful design, and fast feedback loops.
- Tech focus areas include: Java/JVM-based services, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ/Kafka, and observability/monitoring tools.
- We encourage the use of modern AI-based tooling and coding agents as part of daily development and troubleshooting workflows.
- Work is organized with an emphasis on impact and reliability goals rather than ticket volume, giving you room for deep work and long-term improvements.
- Hybrid work mode (Prague, Czech Republic / Nicosia, Cyprus), with flexibility to balance focused individual work and collaborative sessions.
Why Join Wrike?
- 25 calendar days of paid vacation
- Sick Leave Compensation (5 Paid Uncertified Sick Days)
- Parental Leave: 18 Weeks Maternity / 4 Week Paternity
- 2 Volunteer Days
- Medical Insurance (Employees + Dependents)
- Hybrid Working Model
- School Allowance (Up to €600/month for school aged kids)
- Simcard w/ Unlimited Internet Access for active employees

About Kape Technologies
Kape (LSE: KAPE, privatized 2023) is a global leader in the "Privacy-First" digital security era. We are the powerhouse behind the world’s most trusted consumer privacy brands.
With over 7 million paying subscribers and a global team of 1,000+ experts across 10 locations, our mission is to provide complete digital autonomy. We believe that a free and open internet starts with state-of-the-art technology.

This platform must support high-velocity PPC landing pages, complex multi-language blogs, and technical support hubs—all while maintaining the extreme performance and security standards expected of global privacy leaders.
A key part of this role is evaluating and adopting an open-source CMS solution (such as Strapi, Payload CMS, Directus, or KeystoneJS) as the foundation of the new platform. You will assess these solutions against our requirements for extensibility, multi-tenancy, and API-first content delivery, and lead the customization and integration effort to make the chosen platform fit our multi-brand ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
- Open-Source CMS Selection & Integration: Evaluate and lead the adoption of an open-source headless CMS (e.g., Strapi, Payload CMS, Directus, KeystoneJS) as the content backbone. Define selection criteria around extensibility, plugin ecosystem, multi-tenancy support, role-based access, and API performance. Own the customization roadmap to tailor the chosen solution to our multi-brand needs.
- Unified Architecture: Design a multi-brand, component-based headless system built on the selected open-source CMS. You will architect the "Core Engine" that allows all three brands to share high-performance components while maintaining unique visual identities.
- Inheritance & Customization: Solve the "Parent-Child" challenge. Build a system where a global campaign (Parent) can be instantly deployed across dozens of regional versions (Children) with localized overrides and inherited SEO logic.
- Infrastructure & Security Governance: Partner with DevOps to define the global delivery strategy. You will oversee requirements for Edge Computing (ISR/Edge Functions), WAF, and multi-layered caching (Redis/CDN) to ensure sub-second LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) globally.
- AI-Powered Localization: Architect a native-feeling translation pipeline. Integrate LLMs to handle context-aware translations and build an AI "Quality Gate" that automatically checks pages for SEO health and UI regressions before they go live.
- Visual Editor Implementation: Bridge the gap between engineering and marketing by leveraging the chosen open-source CMS's admin panel and extending it with a high-performance visual editing experience that doesn't bloat the frontend code.
Technical Requirements (Hard Skills)
- Next.js & React Mastery: Expert-level experience with the App Router, Server Components, and performance optimization for massive traffic (millions of monthly uniques).
- Node.js/TypeScript Ecosystem: Deep experience building robust, type-safe APIs and microservices. Hands-on experience with open-source headless CMS platforms (Strapi, Payload CMS, Directus, or similar) is a strong advantage.
- Multi-layered Caching: Professional-grade understanding of browser, server-side, and edge caching strategies.
- Infrastructure Fluency: Ability to set precise tasks for DevOps and verify the integrity of deployments, proxying, and firewalling.
- Technical SEO: Deep knowledge of how headless architectures impact crawlability, schema, and dynamic sitemaps.
