Hire a DevOps Engineer
in Tel Aviv

CI/CD, observability, and on-call that doesn't page you at 2am.

Hiring a DevOps or platform engineer in Tel Aviv? Senior platform engineers command $260K+ base and most early-stage teams don't have enough infra surface area yet to justify a full-time hire. We build the foundation instead — CI/CD, observability, secrets management, on-call — on a flat-price engagement, then hand you a runbook.

The local read

Why hiring a DevOps Engineer in Tel Aviv is hard

TLV's engineering market is one of the deepest in the world and one of the most expensive at seed stage. Senior offers competing with the cyber unicorns clear $230K all-in with equity that compounds fast. Most of the local agency options are extension-of-team staffing shops that bill weekly.

Different play: one senior engineer ships your build in two weeks, seven-hour overlap with US East working hours, billed in USD. eBPF and Rust for runtime cyber products. Kafka + ClickHouse for adtech pipelines. Next.js + Node for SaaS. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.

A senior devops engineer here is a ~$335K year-one outlay after benefits, payroll tax, and the 60–90 day search. We're a $2,000+ flat engagement that starts inside seven days.

The work, concretely

What we'd own day to day

The same scope you'd hand to a salaried devops engineer, owned end to end on a flat-price engagement. No coordination overhead, no junior-on-the-bench, no estimation theatre.

CI/CD pipelines that catch regressions before they ship, not after
Observability — structured logging, tracing, alerting tuned to actually page a human when it matters
Secrets management and access control that doesn't rely on a shared .env file
Infrastructure as code — Terraform or equivalent, so 'how is prod configured' has one answer
On-call runbook your engineers can follow without you in the room

FAQ

About hiring vs engaging in Tel Aviv

How fast can you start?

Most engagements begin within seven days of the first call. There's no recruiter pipeline, no notice period, no relocation timeline.

Which cloud provider?

We work across AWS, GCP, and Vercel — the recommendation depends on your stack and team size, not a default we push regardless of fit.

Is this a full-time replacement?

No — we're a senior engineer on a flat-price engagement. For most pre-seed and seed-stage products, that ships more than a salaried hire would in the same window. When you outgrow it, we hand off cleanly to the team you hire.

Is this a full platform team replacement?

No — it's the foundation a platform team would build in month one, done right the first time. For early-stage teams that's usually enough for a year or more before dedicated headcount makes sense.

Who owns the code?

You do, from commit one. Repo in your GitHub, infra in your cloud account. When you do hire someone, they onboard onto your code, not ours.
