DevOps Engineer

About the Role

Linnovate is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to join our team and work on-site at one of our leading defense industry customers in Or Yehuda. You will take ownership of a modern microservices production environment running on Microsoft Azure, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and security in a regulated environment.

You will be embedded as part of a customer-facing engineering team, taking end-to-end responsibility for the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability of a mission-critical microservices platform. As a Linnovate employee, you'll enjoy the stability and benefits of a leading tech services company while working on some of the most interesting technical challenges in the Israeli defense sector.

Tech Stack

Microsoft Azure (AKS, App Services, Storage), Kubernetes, Docker, Microservices, Azure DevOps Pipelines / GitHub Actions, Terraform / Bicep, Application Insights, Prometheus / Grafana, Linux

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain Azure-based cloud infrastructure supporting a growing microservices platform.

• Operate and improve Kubernetes (AKS) clusters in production, including networking, scaling, and security.

• Design and evolve CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Pipelines and/or GitHub Actions.

• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Bicep, with a strong emphasis on repeatability and code review.

• Set up and maintain observability tools: Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, including custom dashboards, alerts, and SLIs/SLOs.

• Ensure operational security and compliance in a regulated defense environment.

• Collaborate closely with backend developers, security engineers, and customer stakeholders.

Requirements (Must-Have)

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a DevOps Engineer in production environments.

• Proven experience with Microsoft Azure cloud (AKS, networking, storage, IAM).

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker in production.

• Experience designing and operating microservices-based production systems.

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps Pipelines and/or GitHub Actions.

• Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform or Bicep.

• Strong Linux and scripting fundamentals (Bash / Python / PowerShell).

• Willingness and eligibility to hold an active Israeli civilian security clearance — existing valid clearance is a strong advantage.

• Ability to work full-time on-site at the customer's office in Or Yehuda.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Application Insights, Prometheus, or Grafana for observability.

• Prior work in defense, regulated, or air-gapped environments.

• Familiarity with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd) or GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux).

• Multi-cloud exposure (AWS, GCP) beyond primary Azure work.

• Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects.
