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.
At the heart of Wheely’s platform is Marketplace, our matching service that connects hundreds of passengers with waiting chauffeurs every minute.
While early versions of Marketplace ran on fairly simple algorithms, we pride ourselves on developing technology that meets our customers' very high expectations. As we continue to hire and develop the best chauffeurs in the industry, we want to maximise their time spent with passengers while keeping wait times low.
This is a great opportunity to mix your strong engineering skills and your research passion to drive our efficiency to the next level.
