About this role
Job Description
At Wix, velocity and reliability are the core principles behind shipping products. The Search team provides tooling that drastically cuts down the time needed to bring search functionality into Wix’s products. Every day, we serve millions of requests while improving our infrastructure and delivering new functionality for developers.
Elasticsearch is the main search engine behind our offering, but that’s just one part of the job. To make it accessible, we listen to developers, plan, design, and implement abstractions based on their needs while following backend infrastructure guidelines and integrating them into Wix’s internal framework.
In your day-to-day, you will:
Plan, design, build, and maintain systems while working closely with Wix developers to improve their experience and eliminate velocity blockers
Build and maintain highly scalable backend services providing search capabilities to Wix’s products
Design and implement abstractions for new search features
Qualifications
In-depth understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and SOLID principles
Skilled in debugging and investigating production issues and you’re also able to recognize and address bad code
Strong expertise in microservice architecture with a quick grasp of large-scale, complex system inner workings.
Responsible and able to work independently
Actively keep up with industry trends and developments, continuously searching for better solution
Familiar with software engineering best practices (testing, code reviews, immutability, scalability, etc.) and bad practices or anti-patterns
An advantage if you:
Have experience using Elasticsearch or other search engines
Are familiar with Scala, or other functional and/or modern programming languages
Have experience building scalable web services using non-blocking or asynchronous I/O frameworks (e.g., Akka HTTP, Netty, Vert.x, or similar)
Have worked with Docker and Kubernetes
Have a passion for search related topics: free text search, vector (semantic) search, query optimizations, etc.
Additional Information
We are the Search team, part of Wix’s backend infrastructure group. Our mission is to make search technologies accessible and seamless to integrate with, without developers needing to understand their inner workings.
If you’re interested in being the backbone of many projects and products, this is the place for you.

Health and personal accident insurance
Daily lunch and snacks at the office
Commuting allowance
