Backend Engineer For Devex-Production Development

Company Description

We are Wix's Backend Engineering Guild. We provide integrated tools for microservice development within Wix to help improve developer productivity and best practices. These tools streamline the development process and reduce cognitive load allowing Wix Engineers to concentrate on their domain, architecture, and business logic. To handle high-scale traffic (over 500B HTTP requests per day) and 500+ daily deployments, our team of 500 Backend Engineers runs production across 19 distributed data centers and cloud vendors worldwide. 

As a Backend Engineer in the Production Development team, you’ll build internal products and backend platforms that power how Wix operates and evolves its production environment. You’ll design systems that make managing production safe, transparent, and efficient, helping engineers deliver with confidence and speed.  

In your day-to-day, you will:  

•  Build scalable backend platforms that manage and validate production and infrastructure changes  
•  Design systems for safe rollout, rollback, and recovery across large-scale environments  
•  Develop systems that detect, mitigate, and remediate production incidents  
•  Create tools that give engineers visibility and insight into production systems  
• Collaborate with DevOps, infrastructure, and SRE teams to improve how production changes are planned, deployed, and monitored

 At Wix’s scale, every production change matters - and your work will directly influence how infrastructure is changed safely and efficiently.  

*At Wix our work model is hybrid with 4 days a week from our North Tel Aviv Campus and 1 day of remote work from home; please make sure this fits your preferences before moving forward.

• 6+ years of experience as a backend engineer, building and maintaining large-scale production systems  
•  Proficiency in TypeScript or Go, with experience developing distributed and event-driven backend services  
•  Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, with attention to reliability and production quality  
•  Ability to work closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams to deliver production-ready solutions  
•  Hands-on experience working with AWS services and serverless architectures (e.g., Lambda, SNS/SQS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch) - an advantage  
• Familiarity with containerized environments and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes - an advantage 

Wix makes it possible for anyone to succeed online. Since 2006, we’ve grown to around 5,300 employees in 22 countries, launched over 40 products, and serve over 282 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're proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Wix was built around the idea that everyone has the right to be successful, online. This same vision defines us as an employer: creating a work environment where everyone is welcome, and anyone has the right to succeed.
