Frontend Team Leader

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 30 products, and serve over 230 million users and their visitors worldwide. At Wix, we push you to innovate, evolve in non-traditional ways, and collaborate. We operate in small teams that work closely together at a high level. 

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.

• Recruit top talented developers to our group.
• Mentor and advise the team in code review, pair-programming and more.
• See the big picture of group tasks in order to make the best decisions about priorities.
• Share knowledge between your team and other teams in the group. 
• Discover the technical debt & challenges and assist in solving them.
• Interact with stakeholders outside of the group.
• Work as a part of the team in hands-on development.

• A leader who is able to create a vision for your team and lead people throughout its execution. 
• You have at least 4 years of experience in leading a team of 3 or more developers, and you want to mentor other engineers. 
• You’re passionate, intelligent and unafraid to share your opinions when appropriate–but you’re also humble and respectful of the opinions of others.
• You have at least 5-6 years or experience in Javascript, HTML5, CSS and you're familiar with FED technologies and frameworks (Angular/React/Vue, Grunt/Gulp/Webpack). 
• You’ve written production-grade code and are allergic to ugly and unmaintainable code. You’re familiar with software engineering best practices (testing, code reviews, pair-programming, etc.) and are aware of bad practices and anti-patterns.
• Bonus points if you have developed, designed and maintained highly available and large scale production systems, or if you’re skilled in continuous integration, continuous delivery and TDD.

We are Wix’s Frontend Engineering Guild. We build unique, scalable, resilient products and technologies that empower anyone to succeed online. Our mission is to develop complex micro-frontends and maintain the highest development standards. We embrace cutting-edge technologies, TDD, and clean code. We work in small teams, follow agile work methods and use continuous integration and delivery methodologies. We love sharing knowledge and contributing back to the open-source community.
