Company Description

Wix makes it possible for anyone to succeed online. Since 2006, we’ve grown to 5,000 employees in 17 countries, launched over 40 products, and serve over 230 million users and their visitors worldwide. At Wix, we push you to innovate, evolve in non-traditional ways, and grow outside your comfort zone. We operate in small teams that work closely together to create incredible things. 

Although we’re already industry leaders in web creation and business, our work is nowhere near done. Our goal is to become the main engine of the Internet so we can create a more open web for all.

We believe solving complex problems starts by building strong infrastructure and platforms supported by engineers working with cutting-edge technology.

As a dev-centric company, we rely on testing, implementing smart feedback loops, measuring impact, and using “fail fast” methodologies to keep our high-scale traffic and advanced products in constant progress with a 99.99% uptime.

Job Description

  • Improve your skills and learn from top-notch engineers.
  • Tackle tough problems and find creative ways to solve them.
  • Push your code to millions of users every day.
  • Solve hard problems in a simple way using TDD and clean code.
  • Influence the developer community.

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

  • Passionate team player with minimum 5 years of experience
  • Skilled in reasoning and effectively communicating opinions while respecting others' approaches
  • Proactive mindset, never accepting the present state without understanding the underlying reasons
  • Focus on writing clean code that is readable, simple, and maintainable
  • Ability to identify and improve upon bad code, always seeking better solutions
  • Quick grasp of large and complex systems, understanding their inner workings
  • Familiarity with software engineering best practices such as testing, code reviews, and immutability
  • Knowledgeable about bad practices and anti-patterns in software development
  • Deep understanding of tools, libraries, and frameworks used in previous work
  • Comfortable working in a POSIX production environment
  • Proficient in debugging and investigating production issues.
