We operate in collaborative, high-performing teams, building cutting-edge products and leveraging AI to redefine how our users create, manage and grow their dreams online.

Wix’s Application Security is a group of highly motivated Security Engineers that form a part of the huge R&D group at Wix. Our job is to allow Wix developers and users to achieve their goals without risk, which often means we have to find or invent completely unique solutions.

When it comes to technology, we have the ultimate playground, and although we work closely together, there’s always space for independence, innovation, and creativity for every team member.
