About The Team

As part of the Software Reliability group at Wix, we work hard to make sure the lights are always on. Wix's production environment runs on clusters in multiple data centers and cloud vendors, managing an ecosystem of more than 4000 microservices, clocking in about 50,000 requests per second. This introduces unique distributed system challenges of synchronization, performance, testing, redundancy, fallbacks, failovers, monitoring, and more.

We work closely with all the different R&D disciplines to maintain our high SLA and ensure reliability best practices in design, implementation, and delivery. In addition to user-facing systems, we are responsible for internal tools such as gradual-rollouts and configuration optimizations.
