Company Description
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.
Job Description
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.

Additional Information
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.
