Israeli tech firms drive over 500 open roles in New York
Israeli Mapped in NY data shows median salaries of $148,000 and packages reaching $575,000.
New York City has become a second home for many Israeli technology companies in recent years. A new study by the organization Israeli Mapped in NY provides fresh data on employment trends in the city, revealing that there are currently more than 500 open positions at Israeli high-tech companies based in New York.
According to the study, the median salary for roles that disclose compensation ranges is $148,000 per year, while the average salary stands at approximately $162,000. More than 60 positions offer salaries above $200,000 annually, 12 roles exceed $300,000, and the highest-paying position offers a compensation package of up to $575,000 per year.
Israeli cybersecurity companies lead in the number of open positions. Twelve major Israeli cyber firms operating in New York account for roughly 67 open roles, with an average salary of about $176,000, higher than the overall market average. The fintech sector also stands out, with 69 open positions, making it one of the primary recruitment drivers for Israeli companies in the city.
In terms of job categories, sales and business development lead with 78 open positions, more than any other function. Additional openings span marketing, finance, product management, software engineering, artificial intelligence, customer success, human resources, information security, and operations.
The data also shows that most roles target experienced professionals. A significant share of positions are at senior, director, and vice president levels, while entry-level roles remain relatively limited.
Recruitment is largely driven by established Israeli companies. More than 420 open positions come from firms with over 50 employees, including more than 100 positions from companies with more than 1,000 employees. Among the hiring companies are leading Israeli firms in cybersecurity, fintech, digital health, and enterprise software. In cybersecurity, companies such as Fireblocks, Oasis Security, and Wiz stand out, while fintech hiring includes firms such as Pagaya and Rapyd. Other notable employers include Via, UVeye, and K Health.
The data is released against the backdrop of public debate following Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York mayoral primary and concerns raised by some business and technology professionals about the city’s future competitiveness. Despite this, the findings suggest that Israeli tech companies continue to view New York as a key hub for expansion, recruitment, and business development in the United States.
“For years, the conversation focused on how many Israeli companies operate in New York. For the first time, we're able to see the job market these companies are creating,” said Guy Franklin, Founder and CEO of Israeli Mapped in NY. “The data highlights strong demand for experienced professionals, highly competitive compensation, and the growing presence of Israeli companies that have built substantial operations in the United States.
“What surprised me most wasn't just the number of open positions, but their quality. We're seeing dozens of roles paying more than $200,000 annually, several positions offering compensation packages exceeding half a million dollars, and strong demand for senior-level talent. It reflects the maturity and depth of the Israeli tech ecosystem in New York.
“Over the past few months, we've heard many questions about New York's future as a business and technology hub. Based on the data we're seeing on the ground, Israeli companies continue to expand, hire, and invest in the city. New York remains the primary destination for many Israeli companies looking to grow in the U.S. market.”
