Feeny is tracking about 992 open tech roles in Israel, from roughly 152 companies hiring. Each listing is pulled from a company's own careers page, so a role here is one they're actively filling. Almost all of it runs through Tel Aviv, the country's tech center. Filter by discipline to focus the set. ### Which cities in Israel have the most tech jobs? Tel Aviv concentrates it. The vast majority of the country's tech roles sit in and around the city, which packs one of the densest startup scenes anywhere into a small footprint. Other areas have engineering pockets, but Tel Aviv is effectively the whole map. Across the 2 we index, this is a single-hub market in practice. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Israel? Israel's calling card is cybersecurity and enterprise infrastructure, and the pipeline is remarkable: monday.com, Cato Networks, SentinelOne, and Wiz all came out of it. Much of that talent was seeded by military technology units, which feed a steady stream of engineers into the startup world. So the biggest employers cluster around security, infrastructure, and increasingly AI. Feeny lists roles from about 152 companies, so the live openings are worth checking directly. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in Israel? Cybersecurity leads by a wide margin, since it's the specialty the whole ecosystem is built around. Enterprise infrastructure is close behind, with companies building the systems and tools that larger organizations run on. AI has become a fast-growing third category as the security and infra firms fold it into their products. If you work in security or infrastructure, few places have this density of relevant companies. ### What is it like to work in tech in Israel? Tel Aviv runs at a high intensity, with a startup culture that's direct, fast, and unusually concentrated for a city its size. English is widely used in the industry, which lowers the barrier for foreign engineers considerably. Cost of living in Tel Aviv is steep, and that's a real factor in any move. The honest trade is a world-class security and infra scene against a high cost of living and an intense pace. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Israel? The main route is the B-1 work visa, which is sponsored by a specific employer. A large share of the ecosystem is built on local talent coming out of the army-tech pipeline, so foreign relocation happens but is less common than in Western Europe. English is widely used across the industry, which helps once you're in. Be realistic that the local talent pipeline shapes most hiring, even though foreign engineers do find roles. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/israel_
