About The Team

Wix Identity is responsible for identity and access management across Wix - including authentication and authorization of all Wix related identities: users, members, Wix employees, 3rd party devs, etc. We’re a unique mix of a strong product-oriented and core infrastructure group. As the gatekeepers to Wix, we handle some of the highest scale services (over 3 million RPM) and are involved in almost every strategic initiative at Wix. Currently, we’re reinventing our Access Management Domain and writing an open platform for the future. Every line of code we write has an impact on Wix’s bottom line as well as on performance, security, and velocity, so being part of the team implies high levels of responsibility and impact.
