About this role
Job Description
As a Backend Engineer in the Production Development team, you’ll build internal products and backend platforms that power how Wix operates and evolves its production environment. You’ll design systems that make managing production safe, transparent, and efficient, helping engineers deliver with confidence and speed.
In your day-to-day, you will:
- Build scalable backend platforms that manage and validate production and infrastructure changes
- Design systems for safe rollout, rollback, and recovery across large-scale environments
- Develop systems that detect, mitigate, and remediate production incidents
- Create tools that give engineers visibility and insight into production systems
- Collaborate with DevOps, infrastructure, and SRE teams to improve how production changes are planned, deployed, and monitored
Example for one of our systems could be found here:

At Wix’s scale, every production change matters - and your work will directly influence how infrastructure is changed safely and efficiently.
At Wix, we believe our best work happens together. Our work model is fully in person, with 5 days a week from our office. Flexibility remains a core value at Wix and special requests are handled thoughtfully at the team level.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience as a backend engineer, building and maintaining large-scale production systems
- Proficiency in TypeScript or Go, with experience developing distributed and event-driven backend services
- Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, with attention to reliability and production quality
- Ability to work closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams to deliver production-ready solutions
- Hands-on experience working with AWS services and serverless architectures (e.g., Lambda, SNS/SQS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch) - an advantage
- Familiarity with containerized environments and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes - an advantage
