KickstartX 2026

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 299 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.

You will join Wix's leading xEngineer Junior Program, KickstartX: a 7-month accelerated training experience designed for the next generation of AI-native engineers. As an xEngineer, you’ll  own features end-to-end, cross-stack, from design to production. You’ll spend the first 2 months in intensive training followed by 5 months of hands-on experience embedded in our engineering teams, using AI as a core teammate to design and build features that ship to over 299 million users.

 

• Master AI-augmented development tools and workflows to amplify your technical capabilities
• Build end-to-end products and features across the entire stack, including frontend and backend

• Take full ownership of complete systems from design and architecture to production

• Focus on high-level human judgment areas such as system design, architecture, security, and scalability

• Participate in intensive training and hands-on reviews with expert Wix instructors.

 

At Wix, we believe our best work happens together. Our work model is fully in person, with 5 days a week from our office. Flexibility remains a core value at Wix and special requests are handled thoughtfully at the team level.

 

• 0–3 years of development experience (professional experience at a tech company, or educational experience such as a degree or bootcamp)

• Strong proficiency in written and spoken English

• Demonstrated use of AI tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot) within your development workflow

• Good understanding of at least one programming language (e.g., React, Node.js, Java) and web development concepts

• Critical thinking skills to validate, question, and improve AI-generated outputs rather than blindly accepting them

• High curiosity and a proactive mindset for learning in a fast-paced, AI-first environment

The KickstartX Program is the foundation for Wix's future vision of software development. Our Engineering Guild is shifting toward the xEngineer archetype: an AI-native, design-first engineer who takes end-to-end responsibility for products. We value deep technical expertise in architecture and system design while leveraging AI to handle implementation details. You will join a community of high-potential peers and be mentored by top Wix engineers across multiple domains to help you grow into a full-fledged xEngineer.
