Intelligence agency with multi-cloud infrastructure and large-scale data integration
Shabak operates a diversified multi-cloud stack spanning Azure, GCP, AWS, and OCI, underpinned by Kubernetes, Kafka, and a data processing layer (Spark, Hadoop, Trino). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy with an emphasis on mid- and senior-level roles, and active projects signal infrastructure maturity challenges: FinOps tooling, VoIP systems at scale, and threat intelligence automation. Cost estimation and cloud provider comparison appear in their pain-point list, indicating active optimization of cloud spend across multiple platforms.
Shabak (Israeli Security Agency) is Israel's domestic intelligence organization founded in 1948. The agency operates two primary technological divisions: Information Systems Technology (building operational intelligence systems and infrastructure) and Technology and Cyber (developing advanced tools for intelligence collection, counterterrorism, and counterespionage). Staff exceeds 10,000 employees across Israel. The organization invests in independent development of technological capabilities and integrates these tools into core intelligence and operational missions. The technical footprint spans cloud infrastructure, big data platforms, mobile and cyber capabilities, and unified communications systems.
Shabak operates across four major cloud providers: Azure, GCP, AWS, and OCI. The organization also uses on-premise infrastructure including Linux, Windows, Kubernetes, and OpenShift for container orchestration.
Shabak's data stack includes Apache Spark, Hadoop, Cloudera, Trino, Presto, Vertica, and traditional SQL databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL). Elasticsearch and Redis support search and caching. Kafka handles event streaming and RabbitMQ supports message queuing.
