About us

This role is fully remote, you can be located anywhere in Europe and UK.

Hi there! Thanks for being here and let’s get started.

Cycloid focuses on platform engineering done right. We optimize the developer experience and operational efficiency by accelerating the delivery of a portal and platform, alleviating the cognitive load on IT teams and advocating for FinOps & Green IT practices. With our Internal Developer Portal and Platform, you don’t need to start from scratch to get a fully customized solution.

Platform teams design, build and run the platform enabling end-users to visualize, deploy and manage existing and new projects, interact with cutting-edge DevOps and Cloud automation without the need to become an expert, while keeping best practices in place, cloud expenses under control with a minimum carbon footprint.

Cycloid is an Internal Developer Platform and an internal developer Portal with modules around self-service portal and platform orchestration, project lifecycle and ressources management, FinOps and GreenOps and plugins. It can be consumed through the console, in CLI or in API.

At Cycloid, we’re an open organization meaning that your voice and point of view will have a true impact on how we work and the decisions we make. So, as you can imagine, we’re looking for someone who is keen on sharing his/her ideas and opinions. Don’t be shy!

One goal: to make our internal developer platform and portal the leading platform tool in the world, done sustainably.

Sounds like a plan, right?

What is my challenge ?

We provide a working environment for everyone to contribute in their best way.

Work together with Design and our Ops to define detailed specifications

Provide annually, quarterly, monthly and weekly reports of the evolution, status, and date of release
