New data from Israeli Mapped in NY shows that while Israeli tech companies are freezing growth and laying off workers in Israel, they are still actively recruiting in New York. The platform found more than 500 open jobs at Israeli technology firms in the city, with an average salary of $162,000 a year.
Fintech leads the market with about 69 openings, including roles at Pagaya and Rapyd, which told employees about a broad layoff plan about a month ago. Israeli cyber companies account for about 67 openings, with an average salary of $176,000, and the hiring list includes Wiz, Oasis Security and Fireblocks. The most in-demand jobs are in sales and business development, with 78 openings, followed by dozens more in marketing, finance, product management, artificial intelligence and operations.
The jobs are concentrated at senior levels. More than 420 openings come from companies with more than 50 employees, and over 100 are at firms with more than 1,000 employees. More than 60 roles pay above $200,000 a year, 12 offer more than $300,000, and one position reaches as much as $575,000 annually. Most of the openings are for senior, director and VP candidates, while junior roles are a minority.
The findings come against a broader picture of stagnation in Israel’s tech labor market. Innovation Authority data published in recent months show the number of tech workers stuck at about 400,000 for years, and in 2025, for the first time in a decade, there was a drop in R&D jobs in Israel. Since 2019, Israeli tech firms have shifted about 6% of their activity abroad, mainly support and operations roles, and last year they employed 440,000 workers outside Israel, more than inside the country. Israeli Mapped in NY founder and CEO Guy Franklin said, “What surprised me most was not only the number of jobs, but their quality,” adding that the demand for experienced senior staff shows the maturity and depth of the Israeli ecosystem in New York.
