About the team

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.
 

We offer:

  • Equity (RSUs) and discount stock purchasing plans (ESPP)

  • Health and personal accident insurance

  • Daily lunch and snacks at the office

  • Commuting allowance

  • Free phone operator services and compensation for a new phone

  • Free exercise classes and wellness activities

  • Online courses and professional development

  • Fun activities and team events

 

Salary range is 2000 - 4000 Eur GROSS / month (Total package, including equity)
