Senior Backend Developer - Framework

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 and evolve in non-traditional ways. 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.

 

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're proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Wix was built around the idea that everyone has the right to be successful, online. This same vision defines us as an employer: creating a work environment where everyone is welcome, and anyone has the right to succeed.

Join the team responsible for the backbone of Wix’s development ecosystem. The Platform Engineering team provides a suite of integrated tools designed to eliminate friction and reduce cognitive load for engineers across the company. We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about developer experience and eager to build the frameworks that allow our teams to focus on their unique business logic rather than infrastructure hurdles.

 

In your day-to-day, you will:

 

• Design and write code using Scala and Java

• Build and improve Wix Scala Framework to increase developer productivity

• Work with ProtoBuf, gRPC, code generators, Bazel, and Docker

• Solve interesting design dilemmas

• Make an impact on how Wix backend developers write code more efficiently

• Optimize and streamline how AI agents generate code within our ecosystem

• Partner with infrastructure and product teams to find the best solutions

• Support and improve developer framework based on user requests

• Lead and deliver high scale projects end to end

• Keep core libraries and runtime up-to-date

• You have extensive experience with server-side JVM technologies (Java, Scala, or other)

• You’re experienced in software design, coding, and production 

• You have strong written and verbal communication skills

• You understand and can write multithreaded code, specifically a web server's request lifecycle

• Have practiced Test Driven Development (TDD)

• Are able to conduct performance analysis for a system and find its bottlenecks

 

It’s an advantage if you:

• Have contributed to open-source software

• Have spoken in developer meetups, conferences or have a blog about software engineering

Wix Platform Engineering is where engineering meets product management, DevOps, and analytics. We listen to our developers’ voices to promote best practices and guide them toward the most effective use of the platform.

Our culture is transparent, highly technical, and agile. Because we ship frequently, we rely heavily on Continuous Delivery and Test-Driven Development (TDD). While our primary languages are Scala and Java, we value engineers who understand popular paradigms from other languages. You will be helping to support Wix Server Framework—a system that handles the scale of 304 million users and their global visitors.
