Read the skills list below as a map of what the title actually means here, not as a checklist. In a market this size the useful move is usually to narrow: pick the stack you want and search that instead, which is why every skill below links back into a real search.

One structural thing about Israel specifically: a large share of these roles sit at R&D centres of foreign companies rather than at Israeli startups, and those two kinds of employer advertise very differently. The employer list below is the fastest way to see which you are looking at.

Common questions

What does "Software Engineer" actually mean in an Israeli job ad?

On its own, very little. The title spans embedded firmware to distributed backends, so the useful move is to narrow: pick the stack you want and search that instead. Every skill listed below links back into a real search for exactly that reason.

Is the employer an R&D centre or an Israeli startup?

A large share of these roles sit at R&D centres of foreign companies rather than at Israeli startups, and the two kinds of employer advertise very differently. The employer list below is the fastest way to see which one you are looking at.

Do you need Hebrew for a software engineering job in Israel?

It depends on the employer, and the ads themselves are the evidence: roughly half the listings here are written in English and the rest in Hebrew. International R&D centres more often post in English and name English as the working language; Israeli-owned employers post in Hebrew more often.
