Backend Team Lead - Be'er Sheva

Company Description

Wix makes it possible for anyone to succeed online. Since 2006, we’ve grown to around 5,500 employees in 22 countries, launched over 40 products, and serve over 243 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.
