scope DevOps solutions & services, training, and more.

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.

We're looking for someone mature and self-sufficient who can run their own day and work

directly with the client - not an entry-level junior.

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

• 2-3 years of Proven experience as a system administrator (Linux and Windows in

production), plus at least 1-2 year of hands-on DevOps.

• Hands-on Jenkins and Groovy - you can write and debug pipeline scripts, configure

jobs, and manage plugins/agents (this is a must-have).

• 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.

• Professional maturity and good communication - able to work onsite, embedded with

a client, and represent Ycon well.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving development environment and willingness to learn

new tools.

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.
