Issue of 2 November 2026This week's read
There are 281 open software engineer roles in Israel right now, spread across 105 companies. A typical role stays open for 41 days before it is filled or pulled.
Hiring picked up pace this month. Companies posted 149 new roles in the last 30 days, up from 121 in the 30 days before that, a 23% rise.
Week by week, postings have been climbing since late September. The week of 26 October was the busiest yet, with 48 new roles, and it is also the most recent week on record, so hiring is holding at its highest point rather than slowing down.
Experience bars are high. The median listing asks for at least 5 years, and senior-level titles make up 38% of all postings. If you are early in your career, you will be competing in a market built around experienced engineers.
Working from home is rare here: only 2% of open roles are remote. Hiring is also concentrated, with the top 8 employers accounting for 45% of all open roles. NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks and Amazon post the most roles among them. On the skills side, Python is named in 44% of postings, more than any other technology.
What this means for you
Three things you can act on this week
- Expect to go to the office
Only 2% of open roles are remote, so plan your job search around on-site or hybrid work rather than fully remote positions.
- Brush up experience framing
The median role asks for 5 years minimum and senior titles are 38% of listings. Make sure your resume highlights years of hands-on experience clearly.
- Watch the big employers
NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks and Amazon are among the top 8 companies that together hold 45% of all open roles, so check their listings often.
Momentum
New Engineering roles each week
Last 30 days: 149 new roles, against 121 the 30 days before (+23%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
