Jane is an Israeli technology platform serving the regulated medical cannabis and pharmacy sectors.

We are looking for a full-time, hands-on technology leader to take end-to-end ownership of our engineering, cloud infrastructure and operational information security.

This is not a high-level advisory role. It is a Player-Coach position combining team leadership with active work in code, architecture, production systems, DevOps and security.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a small, distributed engineering team

• Remain actively involved in backend development, architecture, code reviews and complex production issues

• Own the Python/Django backend, APIs, integrations and technical roadmap

• Own AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, containers, monitoring, backups, disaster recovery and cloud costs

• Lead operational information security and SecOps, including IAM, MFA, VPN, MDM, WAF, EDR, vulnerability management and incident response

• Serve as the company’s operational Information Security Officer; formal CISO responsibilities may be assigned according to regulatory requirements

• Lead Secure SDLC, security reviews, penetration testing remediation and risk management

• Work with external security, legal and regulatory advisers on ISO 27001, ISO 27799, privacy and Ministry of Health requirements

• Translate business and product priorities into practical engineering plans and reliable delivery

• Reduce technical debt, eliminate single-person dependencies and maintain complete technical documentation

Must have

• 8+ years of software engineering experience

• Recent hands-on backend development experience

• Strong Python experience; production Django experience is highly preferred

• Proven ownership of production systems on AWS

• Practical DevOps experience, including CI/CD, Docker, monitoring and infrastructure automation

• Practical responsibility for information security or SecOps

• Experience directly managing and mentoring software engineers

• Ability to investigate and resolve complex production incidents

• Strong Hebrew and English communication

• Willingness to work as a full-time salaried employee in an exclusive role, without ongoing external clients or consulting work

Advantages

• Experience as a CTO, Head of Engineering or R&D Manager in a small or mid-sized company

• Healthcare, pharmacy, fintech or other regulated-industry experience

• ISO 27001 / ISO 27799, privacy regulation or CISO experience

• LLM and AI systems in production

• Experience working with remote engineering teams

Employment

• Full-time salaried position

• Primarily remote in Israel, with occasional in-person meetings

• Gross monthly salary: ₪35,000

• Pension, severance arrangement and study fund

• Availability for material production or security incidents when reasonably required

Please apply only if you are comfortable combining leadership with regular hands-on technical work.
