Build, and maintain highly scalable backend services providing unique CI/CD experiences to support Wix’s backend code.
Work as a part of the Bazel OSS community, participate in discussions and workgroups and help shape Bazel itself
Qualifications:
R&D Team Lead with 3+ years of experience in managing Backend teams or mixed Backend and Frontend teams
