Additional Information

Wix’s Backend Engineering group, where engineers own the architecture of our backend microservices. We set the tone and standard of our developer culture, fusing together facets of engineering, product management, DevOps, analytics, and technical management. We’re also mentors, helping less-experienced engineers improve and hone their skills so that they are eventually capable of influencing others.

Our development culture is transparent, highly technical, and agile. Because we ship often, we’ve adopted continuous delivery and test-driven development (TDD). Our primary languages are Scala and JavaScript, but we expect our engineers to know popular paradigms that come from other languages as well. We develop and maintain highly scalable systems that support Wix’s 200+ million users—and the people who visit their websites.

We strive to hire engineers who are independent, innovative, bold, and own systems throughout their lifecycle.
