Backend Engineer - Bazel team

Job Description

Building Wix’s 3000 microservices and 32M lines of code requires high-scale CI/CD. Bazel is our build tool of choice and we front its Scala integration and work on building additional sophisticated features, world-class pipelines, and highly scalable services to support them. We do hardcore backend engineering and specialize in Bazel, its tooling, and integrations.

We also work closely with the developers at Wix to improve their day-to-day experience and eliminate velocity killers, from their IDE to GA.

As an engineer in the Bazel team, you’ll:

• Build and maintain tooling that helps our developers build and deliver code faster
• Build, and maintain highly scalable backend services providing unique CI/CD experiences to support Wix’s backend code.
• Work as a part of the Bazel OSS community, participate in discussions and workgroups and help shape Bazel itself
  
  

Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience in server-side technologies
• In-depth understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and SOLID principles
• Skilled in debugging and investigating production issues and you’re also able to recognize and address bad code
• You have a good knowledge and interest in microservice architecture
• You’re responsible and can work independently
• You actively keep up with industry trends and developments and you’re continuously searching for better solutions
• Quick grasp of large and complex systems and their inner workings
• Familiar with software engineering best practices (testing, code reviews, immutability, scalability, etc.)
• Knowledgeable about bad practices and anti-patterns
• Team player committed to the success of the team
  
  

An advantage if you:

• Have experience using Bazel
• Are familiar with Scala
• Have worked with Docker and Kubernetes
• Have a passion for DevEx-related topics: developer tooling, development environments, and build tools
