Matrix is hiring a junior DevOps engineer for a government organisation in Jerusalem

The profession: DevOps and cloud infrastructure

A DevOps engineer owns the path by which code becomes a running service: build and deployment automation, infrastructure defined as code, monitoring and reliability. It sits between development and infrastructure and favours people comfortable with Linux, networking and scripting. According to the Drushim 2026 salary tables (data from the placement firm Jobinfo, in thousands of NIS), a DevOps engineer with 2-3 years earns 25-28, with 3-5 years 30-32, and with over 5 years 35-40. The table has no figure for a graduate with no experience, so we have no verified range for this exact role; the ad does not state a salary.

By the numbers

About the company

According to Matrix IT's 2025 periodic report, the company was incorporated on 12.9.1989 and has traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since May 1993 (ticker MTRX). The report says the group employs about 12,880 software, hardware, engineering, integration and training professionals. In 2025 it reported operating income of about NIS 522 million, up from about NIS 450 million the year before. In February 2026 it completed the acquisition of Magic Software Enterprises, now a wholly owned subsidiary. Note: the ad is published under the name Matrix R&D Services and we present it in the context of the Matrix group as it appears in the filings; the end client is an unnamed government organisation.

In Israel and abroad

Most of the group's activity is in Israel: the IT solutions and services segment in Israel brought in about NIS 3.74 billion in 2025 and the cloud and computing infrastructure segment about NIS 1.61 billion. US IT operations brought in about NIS 458 million and software marketing and support about NIS 428 million. For a DevOps engineer this means most work is on customer projects in Israel, like this one, whose client is a government body.

Stock and revenue

Matrix IT trades on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange as MTRX. Revenue by year (NIS millions, per stockanalysis.com and the company report): 2021 - 4,360; 2022 - 4,673; 2023 - 5,232; 2024 - 5,580; 2025 - 6,239. Five years of growth, including about 11.8% in 2025. Net income in 2025 was about NIS 307 million. This is not investment advice.

What the work looks like

According to the ad: setting up, maintaining and automating AWS cloud infrastructure; working with containers and Kubernetes; infrastructure as code in Terraform and/or CloudFormation; building CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, GitLab CI and/or GitHub Actions; artifact management; and scripting in Python or Bash. The role is in Jerusalem, hybrid.

Who it suits

Someone who finished a degree or an infrastructure course and has already worked about a year with a public cloud (preferably AWS) and CI/CD tools. Someone just starting with no cloud experience will probably not meet the requirement. Computer science graduates with cloud projects, or infrastructure experience from military service, can consider it.

Setting up, maintaining and automating AWS cloud infrastructure (from the job description).

Honest status

This is a real, current DevOps role (posted 19.10.2026, open when checked), but not a pure entry-level one: more than a year of cloud experience is required. It fits someone who has already taken a first step in the field. The client's name, the salary and any security-clearance requirement are not in the ad; ask in the interview.
