About the Team
Wix Platform Engineering is where engineering meets product management, DevOps, and analytics. We listen to our developers’ voices to promote best practices and guide them toward the most effective use of the platform.

While our primary languages are Scala and Java, we value engineers who understand popular paradigms from other languages. You will be helping to support Wix Server Framework—a system that handles the scale of 304 million users and their global visitors.
We offer:
Discount stock purchasing plans (ESPP)
Health and personal accident insurance
Daily lunch and snacks at the office
