The Role & The Responsibilities

We are looking for a motivated DevOps Engineer in the northern district of Israel to join our team. This is a full-time, onsite position — the candidate must be able to work on-site daily. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow their career with hands-on experience supporting a real development environment — owning CI/CD pipelines, Linux and Windows infrastructure, virtualization, and automation.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Jenkins pipelines (declarative and scripted) using Groovy, including shared libraries, custom pipeline steps, and plugin configuration.
• Administer and troubleshoot Jenkins infrastructure — controllers, agents/nodes, credentials, and job orchestration.
• Configure and maintain Linux and Windows systems, including in-depth troubleshooting at the OS, service, networking, and filesystem level.
• Build, configure, and maintain virtual machines using VMware (ESXi/vSphere) and other virtualization platforms.
• Manage VMware environments including snapshots, cloning, resource allocation, and full VM lifecycle management.
• Maintain physical and virtual server infrastructure supporting development, build, and CI/CD environments.
• Write and maintain automation scripts (Bash, PowerShell, Groovy, and/or Python) to handle backups, provisioning, system health checks, and pipeline tooling.
• Set up and maintain GIT repositories, branching strategies, and version control workflows.
• Own and support build and compilation server environments, optimizing for reliability and build speed.
• Work closely with developers to design, troubleshoot, and improve build, deployment, and infrastructure workflows.

Requirements

• Minimum 1–2 years of hands-on experience in both DevOps and System Administration roles (or a combined role covering both).
• Working knowledge of Jenkins and Groovy — able to write and debug pipeline scripts, configure jobs, and manage plugins/agents.
• Strong systems knowledge of Linux (administration, networking, services, permissions, troubleshooting) and solid familiarity with Windows administration.
• Familiarity with virtualization concepts and platforms such as VMware, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V.
• Scripting ability in Bash and/or PowerShell and Groovy; Python is a strong plus.
• Solid understanding of GIT and version control workflows (branching, merging, CI integration).
• Experience with hardware maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving development environment and willingness to learn new tools.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with VMware vSphere, ESXi, or vCenter administration.
• Exposure to other CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, TeamCity, etc.).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) or orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with network configuration (VLANs, switches, basic routing).
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA A+, Linux+, VMware VCP, RHCSA, or Jenkins-related certs are a plus but not required.
